Now that summer vacation has started, it's a good time to get together with my cousin and her family. My sister invited us to visit her neighborhood which has a nice park with water running through it. We found out that on the same day, there was going to be a fireworks show nearby. After meeting at the station, we went to the grocery section of a department store to get something easy for lunch, and the children had fun playing in the water for a few hours. Since it was a very hot day with strong sunshine, we made sure that the children took breaks here and there. Pineapple had tons of fun with my cousin's daughters. It seemed that she felt they were her big sisters!
Then, we moved to the department store's rooftop parking lot. They open the space to the public for the fireworks show. It wasn't very close, but considering Pineapple's reaction last summer it was probably good to watch from a distance. She still didn't care for it too much and said 'bye bye' several times, even though she applauded when she saw fireworks.
The picture shows the three girls playing in the water at the park. I like their big smiles so much!!
夏休みが始まったので、私の従姉妹と家族に逢ういい時期になりました。妹が、近所に水遊びが出来る公園があるからと、私たちを誘ってくれました。また、同じ日に近くで花火大会があると知りました。
駅で合流した後、お店でお昼ご飯にできる簡単なものを調達し、子供達は数時間もの間水遊びを楽しみました。陽射しが強くて暑い日だったので、子供達には時々しっかり休憩を取らせるようにしました。パイナップルは、私の従姉妹の子供達ととても楽しく遊んでいました。まるで自分のお姉ちゃんだと思っているようでした。
それからお店の屋上に移動しました。花火大会のために、屋上を解放していたのです。それほど近くに見えたわけではありませんが、去年のパイナップルの反応を考えるとちょうど良かったと思います。娘は花火を見る度に拍手をしていましたが、特に喜んでいたわけでもなく、「バイバイ」と何度か言っていました。
写真は公園で水遊びをしていた子供達です。この笑顔が最高です！
