I do volunteer work with an environmental group at Fujimae Tidal Flat. Every year, we have a two-day camp for kids at the Fujimae Higata Activity Center. This year, we had it on Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1. We were in the middle of dinner on Saturday night when someone said “Fireworks!” We started to hear fireworks exploding. Most of the children left their food behind and went up to the levee. We looked west and there they were! It was the Meiko Water Art Fireworks 2025. These fireworks were especially beautiful! I heard a boy say, “It’s the beginning of summer!” I felt the same way, but then I thought, “Isn’t it too early for fireworks? It’s still May!”   (122 words)
