多摩動物公園

今日は多摩動物公園に子ども二人を一人で連れて行った。しかも電車で。下の息子は電車乗るの初めてかも。京王八王子から多摩動物公園駅まで以外に近い。特急で高幡不動まで１０分くらい。乗り換えて多摩動物公園まで１駅３分くらい。今日は緑の日という事で入園料が無料。激混みだった！でも車で行ったら駐車場代金が１５００円以上はかかるだろうし。電車はまだ子供が無料で、往復の大人料金は３６０円くらいで済んだから絶対電車で行ったほうがお得。暑くて半そでで十分。昆虫館、キリン、ライオン、象、フラミンゴ、など一通り見たけど、次男が疲れたのか、ずっと抱っこをせがむ。ここで泣かれたらひとたまりもないので、やむなく今日はほとんど次男を片手で抱っこし、もう片方の手で長男と手をつなぐ体勢。二人とも重たくなってきたのでかなりしんどかった。家に帰ったらﾊﾞﾀﾝｷｭｰでした。お疲れ！自分！

Today, I took my children to Tama zoo by train. Maybe this is first time to ride on train for younger son. I felt closer than I thought from Keio hachiouji station to Tama zoo st. We took express train and got off at Takahatahudo and transferred to a train bound for Tama zoo. Total riding time was almost 15 minutes. Today is Green day, so entry is free! Although it was very crowded, I was very satisfied because I did not have to pay too much about any fees like Parking fee for which I would have paied more than 1,500yen if I went by car. About train fares, my both sons are still free. My round trip fare was about only 360 yen! It was very cost saving trip today. It was very hot today, it was enough with only no-sleeve shirt. We looked around popular area like lion, giraff, flamingo and an insectarium while carring yonger son in one hand and holding elderly sons hand with my another hand. It was inevitable act for me knowing that if his mood was hurt, he would cry loudly and ruin everything. But it was heavy task for me, he increased weight recently. When I got home, I fell asleep immediately.  I did my best. I praise me.
