どもども。
Hello everyone!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How are you doing today?
早いもので、Hit-chanが副鼻腔炎で寝込んでいる間に9月に入っておりました。
I say "Time flies!" again, but September was already here while I was sick in bed for sinus infection.
こちらミネソタ、もう既に秋の気配が感じられて、朝夕はトレーナーを着ようと思うくらい涼しくなる事もしばしば。
Here in MN, we've already started feeling that it's fall here, and sometimes it's cool enough to make you want to wear a sweatshirt in mornings or at nights.
夏の間自粛生活もあって、毎日のように家の庭で遊んでいるめいですが、この先寒くなってきたらそれもなかなか難しくなるなぁと思う今日この頃です。
Especially because of the quarantined life, May-chan and I have played in the yard almost everyday this summer, but I start to feel that it's going to be difficult for us to have outdoor play time when it gets colder.
さて今日は、まだまだ夏真っ盛りだった7月の終わり頃のお散歩の様子を書いていきたいと思います。
Today I want to write about a walk that May-chan and I had in the end of July, still in the peak of summer.
この日は家から歩いていける公園というか、原っぱのような所までお散歩する事にしました。
On the beautiful day, I decided to walk to this park or just an open grass field from our house.
家から大人の足で歩いて10分もかからない場所なんですが、めいと一緒だと数倍の時間がかかります。だって、1分も歩いた？って時点で座って休憩したりするからね。
If it only takes less than 10 minutes for an adult to walk there from our house, but with a 19month-old kiddo, you'd need a few times as long as it. Yeah, it's because May-chan wanted to sit down and take a break even after we only walked for a minute.
でもでも良いのよね～。原っぱに行く道中がお散歩のメインだったりするんで、好きなように歩いてくれるのが一番！
It's totally okay! The main purpose for this walk is to enjoy the way to the field, not the destination itself. So, Mommy was happy if May-chan was happy!
めいさん、たまにこんな風に後ろを振り返りながら歩くから、前にあるものにぶつかりそうで危ない。（一度、家の中で前を見ずに走った結果、壁にぶつかって号泣。笑）
May-chan often walks without looking forward like this, so it always makes me worry if she would bump something in front of her. (Actually, she's once run without looking forward inside the house and bumped her face so hard against the wall. Of course, she cried so hard then. Haha)
良いお天気の中、嬉しそうに歩いてくれる姿を見ているだけでマミーはハッピーですわ。
On the beautiful day, I was super happy just to see May-chan walking with much joy.
途中、抱っこしたりしつつ、無事目的地の原っぱに到着！
She wanted me to hold her some times on the way, but we finely got to the open field!
特に遊具などはある訳なにけど、それでもいつもと違う場所だから楽しいよね。
It's not like that they had fun play ground equipment or something, but it's still amusing enough for May-chan just by being there, somewhere different than usual.
実はこの原っぱの横を少し行くとトレイルがあるんです。
There's actually an entrance of a trail by the open field.
このトレイルは舗装されてないので、どこかトトロの世界を思い出させてくれます。
The trail is not paved and kind of reminds me of the world of "My Neighbor Totoro".
めいも嬉しそうに一人で歩いて行きます。
May-chan was excited to go forward on her own.
この入り口近くにあった木の道？をめっちゃ気に入っためい。何度も行ったり来たりしてました。
The wooden board walk near the entrance entertained May-chan too. She walked back and forth on it several times.
でっかい棒を見つけて嬉しそう。
She also found this big wood stick and got so excited too.
このトレイル、家から歩いて行ける（途中、めいを抱っこしないといけないけど。）ので有難いんですが、緑をたくさん感じられる反面、ずーっと蚊に追いかけられるというデメリットがあります。
The trail is located in the walkable distance from our house, (I even have to hold May-chan sometimes though.) and very convenience. It's surrounded around much green and feels nice, but at the same time, you have to fight with mosquitos!
この日も蚊に2箇所噛まれた時点で退散！
I was bit on 2 spots that day and then decided to leave. Haha.
行きだけで歩き疲れためいを帰りは抱っこして帰りました。（Hit-chanの良い運動になりました。笑）
On the way back home, I held May-chan all the way back home. (Yeah, it was nice workout for me. Haha.)
上の写真の時はめいを抱っこするのを想定して抱っこ紐を持って行っていたので、帰り道もそれ程大変ではなかったですけど、前に手ぶらで行って帰りにずっとめいを抱っこする羽目になって翌日筋肉痛になりました。（汗）
To be honest with you, I forgot to bring the baby carrier strap when I first tried to walk to the field with May-chan. It became a very good lesson to me because I ended up having to hold May-chan without the baby carrier all the way back home and my arms got super sore on the next day. That's why I didn't forget to bring the baby carrier with me that day for sure. Haha.
そんな訳で、我が家から歩いて行ける原っぱ＆トレイルへのお散歩の様子でございました！
Anyways, this is all about another outdoor time with May-chan and me, the walk to the open field and trail!
「冬になったらどうやってめいのエネルギー消費しよ～？」と、今から心配しているHit-chanです。
Now, I'm starting to get worried, "How can I burn May-chan's infinite energy when the freezing winter is here?"
という訳で、今日はこの辺で～！！！
Anyways, thank you for reading again! Bye for now!!
