You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
最近行けてなかったけど、今日は、いつも通り、午前中は子供と電車を見てきた。午前中は、家族との時間にあてられたので、とてもいい感じ。
Although I haven’t taken my son to watch trains at the station recently, we went today and enjoyed some train-watching together. Spending quality time with my family felt really refreshing.
今夜は実家でそばだったので、あまり食べないようにと思っていたけど、結果して、大宮駅の近くにある有名なつけ麺のお店での昼食。
Since dinner was going to be Japanese soba made by my father at his house, I initially thought I should keep lunch light. But instead, I took my son to a ramen shop at Saitama-Shintoshin Station that’s known for its delicious dipping noodles.
３連休だったけど、思っていた通り空いていた。しかも、今回は、子供もつけ麺を選んでくれた。このお店はつけ麺のほうがわたしも好みなので助かる。
As expected, the shop was nearly empty, even during lunchtime on a three-day weekend. My son ordered dipping noodles, just as I suggested. I personally prefer their dipping noodles over their regular ramen, so I was happy too.
夕方は実家に遊びに行って、手持ち花火をしてきた。真夏の暑さからは解放され、涼しい夜風の中での花火はとても気持ちがよかった。
Later, we went to my parents’ house and enjoyed playing with sparklers and other fireworks with my sister’s family. Even though winter is approaching, we had fun in the cool evening weather.
息子も、初めての花火にちょっと怖がっていたものの、楽しんでくれたようだった。
It was my son’s first time trying fireworks. While he was scared at first, he seemed to enjoy them by the end.
To be continued.
