お盆 Obon

ご無沙汰です。(苦笑）
実家に帰って来てなぜこんなに忙しいのでしょう？？もっとぼーーとしてる時間が多いと思ったのに。。
日本滞在も残すところ、２週間を切りました。早い！！本当に！
お盆が終わって、長野はだんだん涼しくなりつつあります。今年は夏が本当に短かったなぁ。

Hi, there!
I'm very busy everyday even if my family is helping me a lot. I was supposed to have a lots of time to space out in here, but not at all! I think that's because my little two monkeys.... :p Both are soooo busy and loud everyday.
It's getting cooler that cooler in Nagano. It will come Autumn soon here.

お盆の前の週末に、友達の志穂が誘ってくれて家族ぐるみでBBQをしました。BBQするところと公園が隣だから子供もめいいっぱい遊べてすごく疲れたけどすごく楽しい一日だった！ブリ豚もいたらいいのにな～と一日思った日でした。（そしたら子供を追いかけるのが半分で済んだ、というのが一番の理由だったり。。。:p)


志穂は年子の姉妹のママ。年子、すごい。でもかわいいのよ、しかも姉妹ってとこが。奏大と同い年にしておねえちゃんだもんね、しっかりするやろうな。
今はほんまにしんどいと思う、どっちも赤ちゃんだもんね～でもちょっと大きくなったら一緒に遊んで仲良し姉妹になるんじゃないかな～？？楽しみだね＾＾

奏大はこの姉妹の上の子が大好きの模様。よくちょっかい出すねん。でもそんな強い押しは、ごめんらしくいつもびくびくしてる彼女。どう考えても逆効果だよ、奏大君。＾＾：笑

上の写真の奏大君が乗っている黄色い物体は、ショベルカーになっているんだよね～。大人でも楽しいくらい、なかなか考えられてて綺麗な公園だな～と。川も近いし、この日は前の日が大豪雨でけっこうかさ増ししてたから遊べなかったけど、色々遊べる公園でした。

来ていたみなさんに沢山遊んでもらって、午前から夜の花火まで本当に遊びつくした一日でした！！
ここまで一日を外に出てめいいっぱい、くたくたになるまで遊ぶってのも結構気持ちのいいものだね～
一年に３回あればいいけど。笑

志穂、直ちゃん、本当にお誘いありがとう！！！

We had a lot of fun in last two weeks :) First, my friends family invited us BBQ. We went to the park near river. there were a big play ground there and BBQ place. It was great for family! My friend's husband has many hobbies, and one of them is outdoor, so he has lots of stuffs for this BBQ. He and his friend were preparing BBQ sets and most of things, so I just ate delicious! What a wonderful day!!! We'd been there for 11 hours, literally all day long!!! That day's weather seemed to be raining afternoon, so we changed the plan earlier, so we got there at 11 in the morning, and we started eating, and then Kids started playing at the playground and water fountain things, and then ate again, and then it was almost 7 at night, so we decided to do fireworks which was the first plan but we didn't expect we could do it because rain was supposed to start, but it's not. We played played played all day long!!!! I was sooooo tired,but felt so good too!
Yukine and Kanata fell asleep as soon as we rode the car! They must have been so tired too!

My friend has two girls baby, older one is same age as Kanata and younger one is 4 months old, they are only 17 months different!! She must be so busy, but her girls are soooo cute :)Kanata seems to like older girl, but she is scared of Kanata because he pushes her too much :p












そして、お盆前はこの前京都でお世話になったたかみさんファミリーが遊びに来てくれましたー＾＾遠いところありがとう！！
しかも私はたかみさんにすごく迷惑をかけてしまって、今でもそれが本当に気がかりなのだけど、楽しんでくれていたらいいなと思います。
（たかみさん、本当にごめんなさい。。）

















一泊していってくれたのだけど、長野の自然の中でとりあえず両日、ひたすら公園を駆け巡った二日間でした。笑


奏大くんはまだちょっとみんなより小さいけど一生懸命付いていってなんとか一緒に遊ぼうと必死。喜音は大好きな二人が来てくれてとりあえず幸せ、わたり棒がすごく好きで一生懸命練習してました！
時に三人という数ゆえにけんかやら、仲間はずれやらもめてましたが、すぐに仲直りしてみんなでわいわい遊んでました＾＾

And my friend’ｓ family came visit us from Kyoto from11th to 12th. They had us when we visited Kyoto last time. I met my friend through the internet community site like facebook, she is so kind and smart woman and kids are good friends too :) Both of days were very beautiful days which is great. If it was raining, I had no idea where should I have taken them in such a countryside so :p We went to some of parks here, we spent most of time at the park. Kids were, of course, very happy :)　Yukine likes to do a monkey bar a lot, everytime I take her to the park, she keeps doing monkey bar. She is getting better acutually. Kanata likes slide a lot :) He didn't understand what is scary until recently, but he starts knowing about it, so sometimes he hesitateｓ to slide. He still do too much for him because he wants to play with big kids though.

She has two kids, 6 years old daughter and 4 years old son whose birthday is very close to Yukine. So when they enjoyed playing together, very very good friends but when they were fighting, only someone left out... :p But they found the way to resolve the problem by themselves :)

ダチョウ、見たり。

Went to see ostriches.

馬ににんじんあげたり、奏大が馬のにんじん食べたり。。。:p

They fed Carrots to horses and Kanata ate horse's carrots too :p

私もすごーく楽しかった！　たかみさんのおうちに京都でお世話になったときは、本当忙しくて話もろくにできなかったので、今回ゆっくり時間を過ごすことができてよかった！！！
またぜひ来てほしいな～！！
本当にありがとうございました、たかみさん！！今度はシアトルで待ってますね～＾＾

I was happy being them :) It was so much fun!!! When we went to Kyoto. we were too busy and we couldn't be together, so it was really good time for us!
Thank you for coming and we are looking forward to seeing you in Seattle next time!!



そして最後の写真は、２年ぶり？？になる中学の友達との再会。子供がますます大きくなっていて時間の経過を感じる。いつもお互いに連絡を取らなくなったりもするけど、こうして何年かに一度会える時があるとわかっているから、そしてまた普通にすぐに話がはずむから、安心していられる。
子供達も、前のことを忘れてしまっていたとしても、またこうやってすぐに仲良く遊べるってのが嬉しい＾＾

沢山の素敵な友達に会えること、この日本に帰って来て本当にすごく嬉しいことです＾＾
