My aunt and uncle were staying over for the night and our family was hanging out in the field. My cousin brought all of their dogs out from the car. There was a faint smell of weed in the air. My uncle proceeded to explain how they got each one of their five dogs (three of them having already passed from old age). My cousin warned us that pugs were destructive as she let them loose onto the field. They seemed to be content just rolling around in the grass.

My cousin asked me if it was The Wind Rises or Spirited Away that had a shot of wind blowing across a grassy field. I told her that I think both of them did, as it was a pretty common scene in Ghibli films.

Everyone split up into 4 groups of around 5 people as we started passing frisbees around. The size of our group kept changing as we were bumping into the neighboring groups. Eventually someone started handing out different colored plastic helmets to distinguish between the groups. Ours was a light blue.
