Family glamping

Photos here.

Social distancing at glamping just with family. The rain waited for us to get back inside after dark, twins could play at the play ground. Cooked hot pot which was a hit. Twins were happily playing climbing up and down the bunk bed. Rest of the family were happy making s'mores. I was happy I could read.
It got cold from the night and we burnt almost all the firewood at the stove.
It snowed the following day, and snowed quite a lot on the highway. Driving over the rainbow bridge made me a bit nervous driving on snow but we made it safe back home. It was a good break, leaving Tokyo, say away from the news mostly reporting COVID-19.

Dr. said he was getting better so stay on medication, and come back if he gets worse. Yay!

Naoya started coughing bad last night, we cancelled going down to jiji & baba's for weekend. We stayed home the most of the day, though went out for a late lunch at Starbucks, and hit a small park for a bit. I hope he's not getting the latest virus... He had pneumonia once so I'm a bit worried...

Dinner!

Bought this recipe book, and tried a couple of dishes from it. Ton helped cooking, too. Risa & Sara joined the dinner, though twins weren't so excited about the menu, and rather wanted to play.
