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!
