このお盆には、東京の長女＆孫１，2号
札幌の 息子夫婦 ＋ 孫3号
奈良の 次女夫婦
オアシス夫婦 10人が集合。 流石に狭い社宅には泊まれないので、コテージ＋グランピングで暑い夏休みを過ごしました。
両施設とも、クーラが効いており、北海道では珍しいん熱帯夜を気持ちよい睡眠で過ごせたのは正解でした。
孫3人が一同に会したのも初めてです。 可愛い3人が集まると3倍にも、4倍にもかわいさがアップします。
初日は家で下準備をしての カツカレーディナー。 子供たち向けの味付けで甘くて僕には少しものたりなさは感じましたが、ビールやシャンパン、少し日本酒も飲んでの楽しい時間を過ごせました。
BBQができる庭付きでしたが、料理はせずスェーデントーチに苦労しての着火して炎を楽しみ、 その残り火で花火。 孫1，2号はとっても喜んでくれました。
お風呂は露天風呂はないのですが、天然温泉であり、気持ちよくいただきました。
翌朝は 残り物を食べつつ、10時ギリギリまでまったり。
新十津川のソーセージの名店「ボルスト吉田」さんで、BBQ用のハム・ソーセージ と これまた良いお肉が手にはいる、「大畠精肉店」 お肉を仕入れ、少しばかりアルコールを追加して、 滝川「ふれあいの郷」の ぐらきゃん施設を２棟借りてのお泊り。
チェックインまで時間があったので、関西から参加の末娘夫婦を 丸加高原に連れて記念写真、 「山田水産」さんで予約したお刺身をピックアップして、１４時からチェックイン。
食材以外は、済、薪まで用意されていて、超便利。
暑いので 火をいれて早速BBQ開始。 ビールがうますぎ。
ドーム型のぐらきゃん施設はクーラが効きまくりです。 酔いもあり、熟睡。 トイレが少し遠いのが難点でしたが、これまたよく眠れました。 この二日間はやる事多すぎた事もあり、ランニングはせず。 走れる気温ではなかった事にしています。
朝は、手軽にパンとおにぎりを食べて、 末娘夫婦を札幌近くまで車で送っていき怒涛の２日間は終了。
孫たちにも良い思い出になったはずと思ってます。
記録的な株の暴落も気になっていましたが、 戻り気配があり、新NISAから始めた素人投資なので、で未経験な大暴落でしたが、さがったものは上がる原則が早い段階で確認できてよかったです。 （一番の心配事）でした。
今週末には孫1,2号も帰るので寂しくなります。
そして月末に迫った北海道マラソン。この暑さなので、無理しない、楽しむ姿勢で臨みます。
Cottage (VILLA Tokutomi in Shin-Totsukawa; Villa Top) & glamping at Takikawa Fureai no Sato
This Bon festival, the eldest daughter and grandchildren 1 and 2 from Tokyo, son-in-law and grandchildren 3 from Sapporo, and the second daughter and her husband from Nara, along with the Oasis couple, a total of 10 people, gathered. Since it was impossible to stay in the cramped company housing, we spent the hot summer vacation in a cottage and glamping.
Both facilities had effective air conditioning, and it was a great decision to be able to spend the hot summer nights comfortably, which is rare in Hokkaido.
It was the first time for the three grandchildren to gather together. When the three adorable children come together, their cuteness multiplies by three or four.
On the first day, we prepared a pork cutlet curry dinner at home. The seasoning was sweet for the children, and I felt it was a bit lacking for me, but we had a great time drinking beer, champagne, and a little sake.
Although there was a barbecue area in the garden, we didn't cook and struggled to light the Swedish torch, enjoying the flames, and then lit fireworks with the remaining fire. Grandchildren 1 and 2 were very pleased.
There was no open-air bath, but we enjoyed the natural hot spring. The next morning, we relaxed until the last minute, eating leftovers.
We purchased ham, sausages for BBQ, and good meat from the famous sausage shop "Borusto Yoshida" in Shin-Totsukawa, and "Ohatake Butcher Shop," and added a little more alcohol, then rented two buildings at the Takikawa "Fureai no Sato" glamping facility.
Since we had time before check-in, we took the youngest daughter and her husband from Kansai to Maruka Kogen for a commemorative photo, picked up the reserved sashimi at "Yamada Suisan," and checked in at 14:00.
Apart from the ingredients, firewood was also provided, which was very convenient. It was too hot, so we lit the fire and started the BBQ right away. The beer was so good.
The dome-shaped glamping facility had excellent air conditioning. We were a little tipsy and slept soundly. The only downside was that the toilet was a bit far, but we still slept well. We had too much to do for these two days, so we didn't go running. We decided that the temperature was not suitable for running.
In the morning, we had bread and rice balls, and then we drove the youngest daughter and her husband near Sapporo, and the whirlwind two days came to an end.
I hope it became a good memory for the grandchildren.
I was also concerned about the record-breaking stock market crash, but there were signs of recovery, and since it was an amateur investment from the new NISA, it was my first experience of a major crash, but it was good to confirm the principle that what goes down must come up at an early stage (my biggest concern).
Grandchildren 1 and 2 will also be leaving this weekend, so I will feel lonely. And with the Hokkaido Marathon approaching at the end of the month, I will approach it with the attitude of not pushing too hard and enjoying it due to this heat.
