We had a big event at the Fujimae Tidal Flat Activity Center last Sunday, and the weather was sunny and warm. It was a great day to be outside. We had a ceremony for the children who took part in our year-long junior ranger program. They came with their families, and we had a lot of volunteers, too. In the morning, we chopped wood and made fires so that we could made “mochi” and “yakisoba” in the open air. Everyone had a good time, and the food tasted great! After we ate and cleaned up, some of the young volunteers organized games on the grass in front of the center. Then we all went inside for presentations and the ceremony. Even when it was all over, the children didn’t want to go home.   (133 words)
