Overnight pajama party!

One Friday in the middle of summer school, we had our first ever overnight pajama party at Beanstalk International School.

Yakisoba is a popular food during summer in Japan. It is usually cooked at a BBQ, but we cooked it indoors. Everybody had a hand in the cooking and it was delicious.  We had fresh fruits for dessert. Yummy!

After dinner it was time to move out into the garden and let off fireworks. Everybody took turns holding the little Japanese firecrackers. There was a lot of excitement, but also a lot of smoke.

After the fireworks it was time to break out the pajamas and get ready for a story while lying in bed. The story was Can’t you sleep little bear?, but as you can see, everybody got sleepier and sleepier……

Until one by one, everybody fell fast asleep and slept all the way through till the morning. It was fresh faces in the morning but check out the bed hair!
