花見とJazz Picnic under the blooming cherry blossoms tree and Jazz

ワシントン大学にお花見に行きました。いつもより2週間くらい早い開花。ほぼ満開でした。
いやいや、去年同様、この時期だけはここは日本か？と思うくらいアジア人だらけ。やっぱり花見はアジア人の文化なんやろうか・・・

We had a cherry blossoms picnic at UW on last Saturday. The cherry trees have bloomed 2 weeks earlier than usual this year :-o It was almost in full bloom, I can't believe it! Anyway, we got there after 4pm since we headed to there after I was done with my work. It was kinda late for picnic, but it was very beautiful day, and still lots and lots people there. ( Most of them were Asians :-p )

ブリトンの学校の友達（アメリカ人）が浴衣を着るということで、そんな機会もなかなかないから着物を引っ張り出して着てみた。たまには着ないとね〜
ブリトンも甚平、喜音もつんつるてんの浴衣着てたし、きっとまわりからは仮装パーティか？と思われたやろうな。。。＾＾：

Brit's UW friends seemed to wear Japanese summer kimono, so I wore Kimono too! I haven't worn Kimono for a long time, so it was really good time! Brit wore summer kimono and Yukine wore too, so it's like people thought we were going to have something "Costume party " :-p










さすがに夕方は寒かったけど、すっごくお天気もよくて気持ちのいいお花見でした。

It's getting colder actually, but we enjoyed the picnic and cherry blossoms (and climbing on trees for Yukine.)












そして、日曜日の夜は近くのカフェでセッションがあったので。

On sunday night, we went to the neighbor cafe's Jazz session. I was sooooo tired and almost fell asleep at the cafe, but kids and Brit enjoyed so much, which was good :-) We took Yukine to Brit's gig so many times, so for her ti's not a special at all, but Kanata didn't have a chace to see Dad's music. He kinda admired his dad ;-) Someday, they can play together, maybe!


なかなか楽器に触る暇もないブリトンは相当嬉しかったみたい。私は仕事帰りでしんどかって、ちょっと最後体力の限界だったけど、ブリトンも子供も楽しんでたみたいだし。

喜音は産まれてからDadのぷっぷっぷ（サックスの事）は聞き慣れてて、ライブもよ〜連れてったけど、奏大はなかなか見る機会もないから、興奮。好きみたい。将来は一緒に演奏できる日がくるかもね〜♪
