The final activity was a camoflage game - they roped off areas of the garden, and hid several toys in them. The funniest part was the teachers constantly running around replacing items that over-enthusiastic kids had rushed in and retrieved for the silly teacher who had lost them, while all the time yelled 'Don't point! Don't point!'.

We then sat down for our lunch, which was a feast fit for a week's worth of picnics. Both Baachan and I had prepared things, both throwing in this and that to make sure we had enough. In the end we had (for three adults and two children): My picnic box with salad, tomatoes, and a few pieces of grilled fish on the bottom; 9 pieces of fried chicken, and a dozen each of tiny cheese sausages and tiny Kitty-chan sausages in the middle; and potato salad, sweet omelet and soy beans on the top. I also brought 2 litres of barley tea, and a huge container of water-melon. We also had a plastic bag full of boxes of snacks and chocolates that someone had given Baachan, a 2 litre bottle of sports drink, and then Baachan's picnic box, with about seven inari-zushi (sushi in a fried tofu skin) and about five nori-maki (sushi wrapped in dried sea-weed) on the bottom, and five more pieces of fried chicken, mixed simmered vegetables (burdock, bamboo, shiitake mushrooms, taro). And a containter of mini-tomatoes and strawberries. Needless to say, we took most of it home. The kids were too interested in playing to eat anyway.

Then we had another event to go to that night - Nakatsu's annual rock festival. Well, it's only in it's second year, but it was bigger than last year, so we can only hope. It's a two-day event, with camping, and a whole lot of local and nearby amateur bands. We stopped by MacDonalds and bought our dinner, then drove up Mt Hachiman to the outdoor natural arena where it was held. We stayed for about three hours, til Amy started to go to sleep on my legs. After than long day, they were both asleep before we got off the mountain.
