The Weekend/週末

So another Southern California weekend has come and gone far too fast...on Friday night we ran our errands as usual to make sure we opened up our Saturday for nothing but fun!!!
あっという間にいつも終わってしまう週末でも、金曜日の夕方にスーパーに行ったりとしなきゃいけない用事を済ませて土曜日は家族で楽しい事いっぱい!!!

Here Madison prepares to leave on our shopping trip...
金曜日の午後買い物に出掛けるところ...

Anna made one of her signature yummy desserts on Friday night...
金曜日の夜アンナが得意なデザートを作りました...

Saturday we headed to Shoreline Village for the annual Pirate Festival...
土曜日はショアラインビレッジで毎年行われる海賊フェスティバルへ...
while we arrived a little early we still got to see a little bit of a Pirate Play and listen to some Pirate tunes as we walked around and cringed at the decorations...
ちゃんと時間を確認してなかったので少し早めに到着したんだけど、海賊の格好をした人達が歩き回っていたり骸骨の飾りがいっぱい!






Here Madison enjoys her lunch of Edamame...
マディソンのお昼は大好物のえだまめ...

Sunday after worship we were invited over to a fellow church members house for lunch...Madison always falls straight to sleep in the car on the way home from Church so we knew we wanted to give her as much time as possible to sleep so when we learned that where we were going to eat was about 3 miles from Disneyland (the Church building it turns out is only about 10 miles) we took the opportunity to head to Disneyland Ave. and check out Downtown Disney which we were pleased to see had free parking for up to three hours...it is pretty amazing, but even though we didn't even get to see the Magic Kingdom you couldn't help but smile as you went up the drive and saw the Mickey ear statues...unfortunately our free time was about up and Madison was sleeping of course, so we just circled through the parking lot and vowed to be back real soon.
日曜日は教会に行ってその後教会で知り合ったおばさんの所にお昼に招待されていたので行って来ました。教会の後は車で直ぐ寝てしまうマディソン、おばさんの家は直ぐ近くだったんだけどマディソンにちゃんとお昼寝を取らせてあげたくてちょっとドライブ...実はそこからディズニーランドまでたったの５キロ、ちょっと行ってみる事にしました。こんなに簡単にディズニーランドに行けるなんて本当に感動！しかもダウンタウンディズニーは３時間まで駐車場無料なんて！さっそく近い内に来るつもりです：）今回は良い子に寝ているマディソンのせいでユーターン...お昼の時間：(

After a very nice lunch we headed to the Cerritos Public Library which rightfully so, has won many awards for being the coolest public library on the planet...
お昼をごちそうになった後セリトスにある図書館に行ってみる事に...噂に聞いていた通り何回も表彰されているのが納得の凄い図書館でした。
the place was truly amazing...
本当にすごい...
all Madison wanted to do was sit at the fish tank...it was really cute.
マディソンも巨大水槽に感動、ただじーっと見ているだけ。
Here she is blurrily waving at the fish...
魚に向かって手を振っています...ブレていてごめん。
After the library we went to a very cool playground right across the street patterned after a New England town...
図書館の後直ぐそこにある凄い聞いた公園に寄って見る事に...ニューイングランド風に作られた公園は一個の町みたい...

Finally it was time to circle back for evening service and then head home after one fun-filled Sunday that was over all too quick.
そしてまた教会に戻る時間、そしてあっという間の楽しい週末はお終い、お終い。
