Everyone enjoyed the perfect weather during the annual summer picnic on August 3. About 60-70 people attended; one family had four generations! The kids’ games included candy pickup with chopsticks (actually tongs) and a three legged race with their designated grownup. The water balloon toss made sure every participant was wet, wet, wet. No time for the Third Annual Twin Cities JACL Summer Picnic Quiz this year; come and try it next year!

The kids competing at Tug of War. Hmm, some of those kids are pretty big.
The parents side trying their best at Tug of War. They needed to eat more rice.

And they’re off! Who can carry a Japanese paper balloon on a sushi mat while running back and forth?
Thank you Chris Noonan and George Murakami for supplying the Bingo game. Competition was fierce as usual.
Thank you Mark Honda for always bringing the snow cone machine. Daughter Dani enjoys a grape snow cone.
