Annual Plum Festival at Hanegi Park / 毎年羽根木公園の梅祭り

It's that time of year again. The annual plum festival at Hanegi Park. It's a nice little walk to the park from apartment and we were going to meet some friends there for an impromptu picnic.

もう一年経ちましたか。毎年羽根木公園で恒例の梅祭りが開催してます。うちから良い散歩になるし、今年は友達と合流して、羽根木公園でピックニックだ！

This year, instead of buying food from the various food booths, we decided to splurge a little and bought some sushi, along with some chicken, yakisoba and vegetable sticks. And we mustn't forget the beer! Actually I treated myself to a couple of cans of ice-tea sour.

今年公園の屋台じゃなく、ちょっと贅沢をして、商店街にある寿司屋で寿司を買った。あとは祭りの定番料理焼きそばや唐揚も。もちろんビールを忘れてません。自分は最近気に入りのアイスティーサワーも買った。

The local fire department and other local businesses had their booths but as you can tell, the fire department booth was popular with the kids.

東京消防庁とかほかのビジネスのブースもありました。でも子供に人気だったのはやっぱり消防庁のブースですね。

We are not going to let the earthquakes and aftershocks stop us from having our hanami (cherry blossom viewing) this weekend either.
地震や余震があっても、今度の週末私たちは友達と花見する予定です。楽しみがなくなるってたまるか！
