清松園の夏祭り Summer Festival at Seishoen


我が家から100メートルぐらいの所に清松園という老人ホームがある。毎年、今頃の時期に夏祭りをし、近所のじいさん、ばあさん達が招待される。せっかくなので、たあくんとなおくんを連れて行ってみた。
招待席をのぞくと、近所の顔見知りのおじいちゃんおばあちゃんがたくさんいたけれど、みんなしばらく見ていない顔ばかりで、みんな年取ったなぁと思った。さらに、働いている人の中に同級生が何人かいた。
お祭りはカラオケ大会、和太鼓、御神輿、踊りと花火だった。
和太鼓の時に、たあくんはおばあちゃん達に混じって叩かせて貰った。
There is old people's home called Seishoen behind our home. Every year, seishoen has a summer festival and they invite old people lives around here, of course my grand parents was invited. So I took Taka and Naoki to the festival. There were many neighborhood old people who I know but all of them looks older than I thought they are because I have not seen them long time. And I saw my few mid school classmate worked there.
This festival was Karaoke, Taiko (Japanese dram), Mikoshi (A portable shrine), and Fireworks. Taka saw and beat Taiko for the first time.
