Short Trip With My Family

Today I am going to write about my holiday with my family.

I really love my family and I spent very happy time with them.

 On last weekend in October my mother and elderly brother and elderly sister came to Hokkaido. It had been a long time since I saw them last. My family was busy with their work but they made time for this trip. I am very grad to meet them in Hokkaido. However, greatly to my regret, I could not saw my father because he had many things to do that day. I had a good time with them.

 My family flew from Haneda air port to Chitose air port. I got up early and went to meet at Chitose air port. When I rode on train, I was very looking forward to meet them. My mother and sister’s smile made me happy. I heard that my brother bought new boots and a jacket for this trip, and I’m grad to know that he was looking forward that day, too.



We rented a car and went to eat lunch at first. We have sushi in revolving sushi bar. Although I live in Hokkaido, I can not eat sushi very often. It was so good.





 At that time, trees on mountain turned bright red and yellow. It was really beautiful. We can saw that wonderful colored leaves through windows. I was very moved with the scenery. We went to Toya lake. There was an island in the center of lake. The lake was very large. It was sunny and warm. Besides, there was no wind on that day. We had very calm weather. I thought we were very lucky because only Hokkaido was sunny and whole Japanese Islands were rainy. This photograph shows “Kita” in kanji. I made this with my sister.

 

Next we went to ride on horse. We went to LAKE TOYA RANCH where we can experience horse trekking. There were many horses and riding people. I wanted to touch horses as soon as possible but our turn to ride horses did not come yet then. We waited at cafe till the turn came. At the café I had a nuts and dried-fruits cake. It was nice. Its picture is this. From the café we could see Toya lake and trekking horses.



  We went to LAKE TOYA RANCH. And then, two black dogs ran toward us and welcomed us. After we wore helmets, we were taught how to ride horse and each of us met own horse.

 My partner was Jerom. Jerom was a male horse who had light brown body and yellow hair. My mother rode on a female horse, Haruka. My brother’s horse was named Kimuch. Kimuch had short curly hair. My sister rode on Dorry. They were beautiful and lovely horses. Horses were absorbed in eating. Jerom  was not concerned about me. Every horse was well-behaved and gentle. Instructors were very kind and we were very amused by their talking.
