Yesterday Ben had a "shopping event" at his school. Basically the classes had made various items to "sell" such as fake vegetables, fake ice cream, toys, etc. It was a ton of fun and very loud! The kids were screaming irashaimase which means welcome to my shop for about 1 1/2 hours straight!
Ben's classroom
There they all go to sell.
I'm not sure what Ben was selling. The little red things next to him though sold like hotcakes.
Clapping and yelling.
Here's what he "sold."
Now it is his turn to go shop! He had ten tickets to spend. Some things cost 3 tickets, others 2 or 1 ticket.
Trying his luck at fishing. This was a game the oldest kids at school put on.
He got a turtle!
Donuts
Pastries
Popsicles
He had a bag full of goodies! Ben was very easy to shop with. He knew what he wanted, bought it and moved on. It didn't take him long to make any decisions!

All of the cars parked on the school playground. Luckily I had parked at the market across the street and was able to get out quickly!!!
