Sledding in Chuo Park
亀清旅館の裏にある中央公園にそり遊びにピッ足しな丘があります。先日の雪に今日の青空で最適なそり遊び状態でした。今朝は我が子供達が近所の子供と一緒にたっぷり滑りました。あまりにも楽しそうだったので、私も作務衣のままでチャレンジしてみた。自分の子供のころを思い出しました。やはり、雪遊びに子供の笑顔が似合います。日本とアメリカ、共通ですね。
途中でお手々が冷たくなった美咲ちゃんと一緒に亀清に戻って、ホットチョコレートを飲みました。子供のころからの良い思い出・・・
In Chuo Park behind Kamesei Ryokan, there is a little hill that is just perfect for sledding. With the recent snow, and today's warm sun, it was perfect conditions for sledding. Our kids spent the morning playing in the snow with some of the neighborhood kids. It looked like so much fun, I took a turn on the sled, too, wearing my 'samue' traditional Japanese work clothes nonetheless. It brought back great childhood memories. There is something about playing in the snow and children's smiles -- they go together so well.
Our little Misaki's fingers got cold, so I brought her back to Kamesei and helped warm her up with a cup of hot chocolate. Ahh, more fond memories from childhood...
