to the sea

ジュリの「海が見たい」というリクエストを聞いて、両親が熱海の海に連れて行ってくれました。
きれいな砂浜。砂がとってもやわらかくてサラサラしていて裸足になって歩くと気持ちがいい。

lots of hotels(ryokans) by the beach

Juliett wanted to go to a beach/sea. My parents took us to Atami beach on Sunday afternoon.
This is the beach Col and I went to see the famous fireworks festival in our first summer.
The beach had really soft and smooth sand there, Juliett and I took our shoes off and walked on the beach with bare feet. It was so good. I like walking on sand.

ジュリはすぐに砂でお城を作り始めました。何度も波に流されて、だんだん塀を作ったり、工夫してすっごく楽しそうに遊んでいました。「私は雪でお城を作ったことはいっぱいあるけれど、砂ではないの。」と言って熱中。大きな波が来て、足をとられて転んで、Tシャツもパンツも砂と水だらけになっても遊び続けました。

Juliett made sand castles many times, every time waves took a part of her castle, she learned and made better ones. "I have made so many snow castles and snow forts, but I have never made sand castles before(actually she has but she doesn't remember)." she said and focused on making them. A big wave came and her foot was stuck in the sand and she fell, so she got wet but she still kept making the castle.

たくさんのシャボン玉を上手に作ってくれる方がいて、子供たちはみんな目をキラキラさせながらシャボン玉に大喜び、ジュリもみんなにまじって遊びました。
There was a man who brew lots of bubbles on the beach. Children were so attracted what he was doing and Juliett had so much fun following the bubbles.

海のすぐ横には桜並木ができていて、河津桜がとってもきれいでした。
いろんなお花がいっぱい。暖かくて本当に気持ちのいい午後でした。
They had beautiful cherry trees by the sea. Kawazu cherry blossoms were so pretty blooming there.

あとは写真をいっぱいです。
Some more photos, enjoy!

a tiny blue fish!
