Summer Day Camp
My family and I went to a day camp held by day care after school(学童) today.
My eldest daughter tried to break a watermelon with the long bar.
It’s called, “Watermelon Splitting.”. You need a blindfold and turn around ten times before starting a game.
My daughter wasn’t strong so she hit it lightly. 
This is an usual event every year.
(I wrote about the same camp last year. )
Anyway my children’s favorite is playing in a river. The clean and cold water makes us feel refreshed.
The nature around the camp site is very beautiful.
Many people gathered at this place because it is a nice place and it wasn’t easy to find empty space.
The only fee you need to pay is the parking charge.
Camping is fun, isn’t it?
What a gorgeous place to hold a camp. It looks like a lot of fun.
Thank you so much!
またひとつご家族のいい思い出ができましたね。スイカ割は力をいれすぎると汚く割れるので、力加減がむつかしいですね。私はそれ以前の問題で、違う方向に向いていることでしょう。
スイカ割りはほんとに久しぶりに見ました。確かに、叩きすぎると食べにくいですね。
Cool river + sweet watermelon = happiness.
PS: Camping is lots of fun provided there aren’t too many mosquitoes! ^^
Indeed. It’s fun. I didn’t find any misquotes.
It’s a fabulous event in a beautiful location!
Yes, thank you.
We had a picnic with our church and one woman had grown up in Japan. She taught us the watermelon splitting game and we tried it. It seems like an expensive game, at least nowadays in Korea. Here watermelon can be as high as 2000 yen.
I see. 2000 yen is a bit expensive. The price depends on its quality. There are less than 1,000 yen of the watermelon.
I guess it depends on the season. I saw watermelon for about 200 yen at a market a couple of days ago, which is very cheap. In any case, it looks like a fun activity!
200 yen is very cheap. I have never found it.
If I can get watermelons in my garden, it’s free.
That sure looks like FUN!
Indeed. Thanks!
Yes, the riverside looks lush and refreshing, a great place to cleanse the spirit.
Thanks much. It’s a nice place to enjoy summer.
That looks like a lot of fun
Many thanks. We enjoyed it.
It looks like a lot of fun. Yes, camping is fun. I like getting away in nature to enjoy peace and solitude.
Yes. I think so. Thank you.
Looks like your kids had a lot of fun at the camp. The water melon game and the river activities looks exciting. Great post!
Thank you. My children really enjoyed it.
It is great camping or have a BBQ by the river in summer
Yes, thank you so much. BBQ is very hot but fun for kids.
It’s good to get close to Nature and to have some fun.
I think so. We really enjoyed it and hope to visit there again.
Looks like a fun camp… we also do the suika wari but I only let the girl students do it… the boys really wreck up the watermelons, turning them into pieces and waste…
I see. Certainly, the boys have enough power to break the watermelons.
Beautiful trees, are they part of a forest?
Yes, it’s a nice forest. Thanks.
Breaking a watermelon! Looks a lot like breaking a pinata at a Mexican-style birthday party – except maybe messier if they actually break it!
I see. It sounds also fun. Thanks for sharing.
Just so pleased about your family’s wonderful camping experience by this wonderfully clean and lovely riverside!
Many thanks. It’s a great place to enjoy the summer.
Looks like a beautiful setting…must have been very relaxing…
Thank you for stopping by. Glad to hear that. Indeed, it’s relaxing.
The place looks very relaxing! I’m longing for a vacation in a place like that!
Thanks much. It’s really nice.
