Pajama Party / Pillow Fight

2015年4月25日

さあ、お待ちかねの”ピローファイト”。 みんなすごーくエキサイトしてました。普段おとなしい子も、今日はちょっとワイルド! It wouldn’t be a pajama party if there was no pillow fight! Since the pillows are so soft, even the children who were a little shy showed their wild side. Swinging their pillows with fluffy ferocity. “Ready…Get set…”   “GO!!”   でも柔らかいピローだから大丈夫。安心してね。 Everyone looks so happy! Since it’s only pillows, of course no one got hurt.   この後は、楽しい ”ムビータイム”。 もちろん、ポップコーンは、お約束!楽しい、楽しい、パジャマパーティーでした!! After getting the pillow fight out of their system, everyone got to enjoy movie time! Of course there was lots of popcorn involved. It was a really successful pajama party!!
