Hanami 2011

Although we’ve been visiting the Brooklyn Botanical Garden during cherry blossom season every year since Mika was a toddler, this was the first time we braved the crowds and attended the big Sakura Matsuri Festival. The day started a bit overcast, but in the afternoon all clouds gave way to clear blue sky and crisp sunshine. We joined team Elsie, Violet & friends on their blanket, and had a front row seat for both blossoms and passing fruit cosplayers.
