cherry blossoms in Akita/秋田での桜

The day after we went to the snow-capped volcano, we went to see the cherry blossoms in a park close to my parents' place. We told my parents to come along to enjoy the time with us under the blue sky and cherry blossoms. They were willing to take a few hours off from work in the farm. We brought some riceballs and snacks from home, and got some dishes to share from a store. The children had fun running around on the grass and playing on the climbers and swings. My husband had fun taking pictures of the blossoms, and even got down on the ground to catch Pineapple coming down this slide.

雪山に行った次の日、実家の近くの公園に桜を見に行きました。私の両親にも青空の下でお花見を楽しもうと誘い、数時間なら田畑の仕事を休んでいっても良いという事になりました。家からおにぎりとおやつを持っていき、途中のお店で総菜を調達していきました。子供たちは芝生の上を走り回ったり、遊具やブランコで遊んだりと楽しみました。私の旦那は桜の写真を撮るのに一生懸命で、パイナップルが滑り台を降りてくる写真を撮ろうと地面に寝転がるほどでした。
