Isaac declined to celebrate Tanabata with Eloise.
July 7th is Tanabata in Japan. The Star Festival celebrates the love of a princess and cattleman who were forbidden to see each other. But once a year, a bridge spans the Milky Way and they can be together for a moment. You can celebrate by going to a festival and making a wish. I couldn’t find a festival, so we celebrated at home.
Eloise wore her favorite jinbei (thanks, Heather!) and wished for blueberries and another tooth. Both wishes were granted today, just two days later! Happy Star Festival!


Mayday! Mayday!
