My sister lives in Nagano with her husband, rabbit, and dog. They built the house　they live in and harvest their own vegetables. My sister took my daughter to her garden to harvest some summer vegetables like cucumbers, peas, and green peppers. But, my daughter was more interested in catching insects and frogs. A couple nights ago the local community had a fireworks festival.Both my kids　were very impressed and are enjoying their summer vacation to the max.

妹は旦那さんとウサギと犬と一緒に長野に住んでいます。妹夫婦の建てた家に住み、ほぼ自給自足の生活をしています。 妹は娘を連れてきゅうり、いんげん豆、ピーマン等、新鮮な夏野菜の収穫に連れて行ってくれました。 しかし、娘は虫やカエルを捕まえる方が面白かったみたいです。 先日近くで花火大会がありました。子供たちは大喜び、日本の夏を満喫してます。
