Showa Kinen Park, with koharu

The rain continued four days,
but today the weather cleared!

Oh, what a nice day!

koharu, my granddaughter, and I went to Showa Kinen Park.
It was koharu's second visit to the Park.

We left the train at Tachikawa on Chuo Line and walked
to Showa Kinen Park.

I was surprised to see the notice "Admission free today"
at the entrance. why? Anyway, what luck!

This time koharu and I first went around the park
by Park Train.

Last time we had no chance to catch Park Train.

According to the guide. Showa Kinen Park is 40 times
as large as Tokyo Dome.

After enjoying the park by Park Train, koharu and I
walked to Minnano-harappa and ate onigiri there.

There were many, many people playing there.
I had never seen more people before in Minnano-harappa.

After eating onigiri, koharu and I went to Waterfowl Lake,
the largest pond in Showa Kinen Park.

koharu wanted to row a boat but I had no experience
of rowing a boat.

So we decided to ride a cycling boat.
koharu worked the pedals and I took the steering wheel.

koharu and I were excited.
We had a lot of fun.
koharu had a dull muscular pain in her legs and feet.

When koharu and I went back home, koharu's mother
had made a birthday cake for me.

They sang a birthday song for me.

koharu's family all celebrated my birthday by delicious dinner.

What a hearty birthday party they had for me!

Thank you so much, everybody.
I promise I will enjoy each moment until my last moment comes.

What a wonderful day I had today!
