Pre swim...? おそるおそる... その結果...

We had a picnic on the beach at Hatepe, a small settlement, about 25km south of Taupo this afternoon. Maybe only M had a peaceful picnic, as S was so busy with Sora.  He was walking her on the beach and even trying to teach her how to swim.  Although Sora loves running along the beach, she was very tentative to go into the water at start.  She managed to swim eventually (!?) about 1m from the shore. 今日はHatepeでピクニック。 穏やかな春の陽気に誘われて、私達の他にもピクニックをする人、ビーチを歩く人、腰まで水につかって、鱒釣りをする人などさまざま。 風もなく、ソラの泳力を試すのに絶好の機会か?と思ったけど... なんとか、足のつくとこまで投げた棒をとってくるのにとどまりました。
As a result, she's got a red colour neck (from her red collar).  S thinks she has got her best wash ever, though...ha ha ha. Poor Sora.   はっと、気が付いたら、ソラの首周りが薄っすら真っ赤。 赤い皮の首輪(カウンシルで買ったルマの一日お古)が、水に濡れて、色が染み出てしまったよう..
