Tokyo + Tanabata

お母さんが、怜君を見てくれると言ったので、
ザックと東京に出てみました。
まずは神殿そして東京タワー周辺。
なんか、久しぶりのデートでした。
my mom said she'll watch kellen for us,
so we went out to explore tokyo for a day.
we went to tokyo temple first.
once you get off the train and start walking toward a park,
you'll see angel moroni above all the buildings.
and then the temple is in the middle of all the buildings.
i couldn't even get far enough to get a nice whole picture of the temple...
and then we went to explore around tokyo tower.
and this is the building we went up on to look down tokyo.
i think we went up to 52nd floor or something like that.
六本木ヒルズの52階から東京タワーや東京をみました。
なんか、東京タワーが小さく見えた・・・。
で、この次の写真・・・。
屋根から霧が・・・。
すこし涼しくしようとしてるのでしょうか?
this is right outside of the building were in.
can you see the mist coming out of the roof?
i think they do that to cool of the air...
interesting...
after the building, we walked around and went to visit a buddhist temple.
もう名前は覚えてませんが、お寺にもいきました。
東京タワーはのぼりませんでしたが、写真だけ撮りました。
this is the tokyo tower.
we didn't go up it, but it was fun to see it close.
my dad took us, mom, and my brother's family out to hiratsuka matsuri.
it's a festival for july 7th.
it's a day when everyone write wishes on a paper and hang it on bamboo trees.
it's a japanese holiday to celebrate prince and princess of the stars to meet.
there is a story that they are separated by the milky way but
gets to meet on july 7th.
kellen is wearing a japanese outfit called "jinbei"
there were many booths, dancers, decorations, and lots of people!
平塚の七夕祭りにお父さんが連れて行ってくれました。
怜君も甚平を着て暑かったけど、楽しみました。
そして、怜君は、捕まり立ちをするようになりました!
アイカちゃんのおかげです。
kellen learned to stand!
thanks aika!
