子供達の幼稚園では 七夕をお祝いします

Tanabata is a summertime Japanese tradition that each one of our kids experienced when they were in kindergarten.

ジョシュアは今年卒園するので

This year is Joshua's last year participating before he moves on to elementary school,

親としても最後の七夕祭りです

so this one will be our last one as parents as well!

子供の成長は早いです！

The kids are growing up so fast!

以前の動画でも 七夕を紹介しているのでご覧下さい

If you're interested in the story about Tanabata, we have a whole video about it, so please check it out!

水分補給！

Drink break!

サラにあげて

Ok let Sarah have some!

サラ 最後の七夕祭りは？

So Sarah- when was your last Takabata? It's been awhile, huh?

何するか分かるよ

I know what Joshua's going to do...

棒を持って踊るの

He's going to hold some sticks and he's going to dance with them.

サラ！良い場所が見つかったね

Hey Sarah! We've got a great spot to watch Joshua's Tanabata, huh? Mmm Hmm.

サラも見える背になったね

Isn't it nice? You're just barely tall enough to see from up here.

ジョシュアだ！

Joshua saw us!

あそこにいるね

Do you see him walking around in circles there?

エイデンと踊ってるね

Oh he's there with Aiden now- that's cool!

エイデン！

Alright Aiden!

ジョシュア！

Hey Dude!

エイデンと写真撮る？

You're going to get a picture with Aiden, right?

楽しい顔でポーズよ！

We'll do a happy face and then we'll do a pose.

ふざけちゃダメ

No, no silly faces.

- 楽しい顔！ - そうね！その後ポーズ！

I want to do a happy face first. Let's do a happy face and then a pose.

一緒に笑って！

Smile normal. Get a little closer.

面白い事したい！

I want to do a funny one... Do normal.

七夕はどうだった？

Joshua- how was the Takabata Matsuri?

楽しい

Good.

お気に入りは？

What was your favorite part?

忍者みたいにドンドンする踊り

Like the Ninja dance. Like "don don." I like that.

格好良かったね！

Oh that was cool, huh? The Ninja dance!

忍者のポーズは？

Show me the Ninja pose.

いいね！

Yes! Awesome.

私も気に入った

Yeah, that was my favorite dance too.

残り物でお昼にして ポップコーン作ろうかしら

There's some leftovers for lunch, and after lunch I can make a big bowl of popcorn.

アイスクリームも食べようかしら

Yeah. And maybe have some ice cream, since you didn't get some last night.

ママちゃん

So momma chan... Yes...

最後の七夕祭りだったね

If you think about it, this was our last Tanabata.

そうね 複雑な気持ち

I know. I have very mixed feelings.

子供が大人になっていくね

As our little boy grows up.

信じられないね

My goodness! Crazy.

来年は小学生2人 中学生2人

Next year: two in elementary and 2 in junior high school.

- 何してる？ - ピザパーティ

What's going on here tonight, Ruth? We're having a pizza party.

6年生の卒業式で着る着物も選ぶのよ

And also we're going to pick out which kimonos the girls are going to wear for their graduation from 6th grade.

ワーオ！

Whoa.

良い物を選ぶには 8か月前に予約しないと

You have to figure it out about 8 months before so that you get good choices

ヘアサロンの予約も

And I also have to go ahead and reserve the hair salon

着付けをしてもらうのよ

Because at the salon they will dress the girls and do their hair.

私は着物は着付け出来ないから

I don't know how to put on those things, so salons do it.

美味しそうなピザです！

Did you already make your reservation?

こんにちは！

No, not yet! Not yet?!

美味しそう！

Tomorrow... You'll call?

ママ これ何？

Look at all this pizza, wow! Awesome.

ラズベリーレモネード

Hello! Hello.

ラズベリー入りよ

It looks delicious, Anna!

楽しみ？

Mommy, what is this?!

うん

Raspberry lemonade.

どれにする？

I put berries in it.

面白い写真撮れた？

And it's sweet? Sweet.

面白い写真！

Is this exciting girls?

どうしたの？

Yes. Yes?

落ちるよ！アナ 待って！

Oh girls, which one are you going to chose?

もう少しリサーチするわ

You taking funny pictures? Yes!

借りても買っても 値段が同じなの

Funny pictures! What's going on?

でも

I'm going to fall, Anna stop! Anna stop!

色々な装飾があるから

So we looked and looked and looked so we're going to do a little bit more searching

正しく集められる自信もないし

Because we could buy them for the same price as renting,

着付けの方法も分からない

But then, it's like...

だから またリサーチしてみるわ！

You buy this part, and then you have to buy this part...

なるほどね！

And what if I don't buy it correctly because I don't know anything about kimonos.

散髪の時間？

Or how to put them on or what you need or what you don't need...

- 散髪だね！ - 上見て

So we're going to keep looking and hopefully be able to rent a full set.

スッキリするね！

I see! Ok, very good. That's the plan.

目が痛い！

Is it haircut time, dude?!

もうすぐよ

Haircut time! Look up, please.

スイッチかスマホあるかしら？

Your hair is like "Yes, finally a haircut."

いいね！

My eye hurts!

待って！

OK, stop now. Maybe we should get his switch, because he stays...

まだ終わりじゃないよ

Or my phone

はい

Oh my goodness!

いい感じだね！

What? Wait! Wait! Stay like that.

散髪が終わったよ

It's not done yet, you have part of a side

似合ってるね！

Here.

いい感じ？

Oh it's looking good, it's looking good!

学校のコンピューター？

The haircut is finished, it looks good!

- 私も持ってる！ - 一人一台？

Oh it looks good Dude.

サラも？すごい！

Feel good?

インターネットに接続しないと

Is this your computer from school?

ここをタッチするんだよ

Yeah, I have one too. Each one of you got one?

すごい！

You got one too, Sarah?! Wow!

今年から川崎市立の学校で 支給されているの

Oh wow I need to connect it to the internet.

宿題もPCでするの？

I know how to do it. Becca you need to tap right here.

何でも出来るよ！

Oh my goodness, wow!

そうなの？

School started this year. Kawasaki schools started teach with computers. You have a hair on your camera.

算数と国語

So does your homework show up on here then?

サラのだね！2年生もクロームブック貰えるの？

No, I just can do anything. I need to do three or more.

故障したらお金払う？

Oh yea?

- そう - 僕も欲しい！

But you can only do arithmetic or language

クロームブックが欲しい？

Sarah, you too! Oh my goodness! They gave a second grader a Chrome book?!

- 凄いねアナ！ - カッコいい！

I sure hope we don't have to pay for these if anything happens to them.

ベッカも？

We need to. (Whining) I want one too!

これは機内に持ち込むから

You want a Chromebook?!

遂にだね

Oh how cool is that, Anna? This is the nicest thing, look!

そうよ

You're doing it too, Becca?

荷造り

旅行の為の荷造り

It's happening, huh?

パスポートと書類 子供用の薬

It's happening.

忘れないように！

Packing.

地面を狙ってます

Packing for the big trip.

次は足！洗ってるみたいです

Passports, important documents, medicines in case the kids get sick on the plane.

さよなら！

Oh my, lot of stuff not to forget!

やっと晴れたね ドローンを飛ばそうか？

Joey's like, I'm gonna get the ground.

2回目だね

Oh, the feet! I'm gonna wash your feet for you.

2回目だね 今回は操縦してみる？

Bye!

もうすぐ川だね

It's finally a nice day. We're going to go fly the drone, huh dude?

ドローンを飛ばせる場所

Yeah, for the second time.

重い？代ろうか？

For the second time, but this time you might be able to try it for a little bit if you want. Would that be fun? Yeah.

パパが持つよ

Alright, Big J and I are heading down to the river, right? Yeah.

行くよ！

A place where we can fly the drone.

ひまわり ママのお気に入りだね

It's too heavy for you? Should I take it? Yeah.

ここが良さそうだね

Take it back, huh daddy?

枝？

Ok, up here, up here.

十分なスペースがあるね ここで試してみよう

The sunflowers. Mommy loves the sunflowers.

離陸するよ 円を描いて

Ok, we found I think the perfect place, right?

向こうに行こう

You found a stick?

行くよ！

We've got plenty of space on all sides and a clear area to fly. Let's do this thing.

カッコいい？

I'm going to take off right from here. Can you make a circle around it?

やってみる？ 押すと前に進むよ

Let's go over here, ok?

ニンテンドーと同じさ！ これで前進するよ

Ok, here we go.

後ろに戻して

Cool huh?

カッコいいね

Ok, you want to push it? Ok, you push it forward, it goes forward.

- 楽しかった？初飛行の感想は？ - もう一回したい

Ok, so hold it like the Nintendo, and then you push it forward, it goes forward.

もう1回？

Ok, then you let go and pull backwards now.

練習はおしまい！

Cool, huh? Yeah.

ジョシュア 着陸してみる？

Was that cool dude? Yeah. What did you think of your first flight? Was it fun? I want to do it another time. You want to do it again? Ok, here we go.

下に押して

I don't need any more practice.

できたね！ハイタッチ！

Ok, Joshua's going to do his first landing. Alright Joshua, you want to do your first landing?

家に帰ろうか？

Ok, now push down. Ready?

ママちゃん また雨に逆戻りだね

You did it! High five!

悪くないわ

Alright, lets go home, ok? Ok. Yeah! Let's go.
