Today we're going to an outdoor waterpark right here in Koshigaya. We take the train and the bus. In the bus, the twins cry from all the travelling. I have Ryou and Haru holds Yuka, gently petting her head.

"What's the place called again?" He asks.

"Shirakabato Water Park. It's gonna be fun"

Elma's wearing her sunglasses.

"Elma I see you are excited"

"Yes. This one is different from the indoor pool I went to once. It's outdoor and not enclosed."

"Hah. It's still a park. It's very safe too. I read some reviews."

After we arrive we find some changing rooms. I change into a two piece orange swimsuit. It covers my chest and butt. Elma, the braver one wears a two piece aqua-green bikini. It complements her figure well. Her breasts are still not covered entirely. Some guys pass by whistling at her. I throw the towel over her.

"Cover them now!"

"Eh!? Don't you like my sexy bikini Nai?"

I blush. "Ye- but I don't want to smack someone for whistling at you today"

Haru wears shorts. I have the bags of stuff for our day and Elma carries the two floaties for the babies.

We set up our mat on the floor.

"This park is so huuuge. Humans never fail to surprise me. They made an entire park of water."

"Let me put some sun screen on." Elma turns over and I coat her back fully with sunscreen.

She does the same for me and the kids.

"Ok. All set. Let's have fun!" I say.

"I wanna ride it!" Haru says gleefully pointing at the slides.

"Ok. There's an age limit so I will keep the twins and you and Elma can ride that big one"

"Sounds like a plan. Leave this water ride to me. I'm an expert. Huehuehue" Elma says.

Ryouma and Yuka are calm. Their eyes are wandering all over the place.

After Elma and Haru waits for their turn I can finally see them at the top of the ride. Elma sits first and calls Haru to sit between her.

Next they go sliding down.

"WEEEEEE" they say, both wearing broad smiles.

They crash in the water. Haru has become a nearly perfect swimmer.

"Oof some water got in my nose" he says.

Elma splashes him. "Me too"

"You guys seemed to enjoy that one."

I put the twins in the kids pool while Elma watched them. I take Haru to get ice cream.

"Mom, thanks for taking us out today"

"You're welcome baby. I'm glad you're having fun."

I buy chocolate and strawberry ice creams.

"Mmm there's nothing I love more than swimming and eating ice cream" Elma says.

"Nai I want to go down the slide with you next"

"Eh? I'll pass."

"Don't tell me you're scared."

"I'm not"

"Hehehe you are. Come on. Your 3 year old son went down the slide. Look at all those kids going down it. Plus you've rode me many times."

"I feel like I'm dying when I ride those things" I say remembering the time I visited an amusement park at 12 years old. I never went again. My cousins called me chicken.

"That's the fun of it. It's the thrill. It's pretty tame for a dragon though. But if you're scared-"

"No I'll ride it with you"

"You don't have to prove a point ya know"

"No I'm fine. It's just a kid ride" I say, trying to mask the fear in my voice.

"Haru, keep an eye on your brother and sister" Elma tells him.

So she and I wait a few minutes until it's our turn. We climb the stairs. I gulp as I look down. From the bottom it didn't look so bad but from up here it's terrifying!

Elma stretches out her hand. I hesitantly hold it. My face feels hot with embarrassment. What must Elma think. I'm a scaredy cat with just a lot of talk!

"You can sit in front of me if you like"

I roll my eyes. "If you want me to" I say trying to play it cool.

I sit at the top and she hugs me tightly from behind.

"Ready?" She asks.

"Whenever you are"

"Here we gooooooooo" we both slide down. It's so fast. The breeze blows my hair in all directions. I see Haru waving at us. I feel Elma kiss me on the back of my neck. The slide has a turn and my entire body turns with it. My heart beats so fastly.

Then down, down and in the water we go.

"That wasn't so bad" Elma says, splashing water in my face.

"I kinda liked it."

"Ara Elma-chan?"

"Wakita-san!"

Elma comes out the pool. I recognize the blond girl from the company.

"Nayura-san, you're here too. Having some family time?"

"Yes. This is my son Haru. And they are our twin babies, Yuka and Ryou" I take their little hands and wave them at her."

"Say hi to the nice girlie" I tell them.

"I have something." She gives each of them a little chocolate from her purse and Haru gets a large one.

"Haru, what do you say?" Elma asks him.

"Thank you onee-san" Haru says.

"Ara he's adorable" she squeals.

"Well I don't want to miss the 3 PM train so I'm leaving now. Elma-chan, Nayura-san you have a beautiful family. Well, see you."

"See you at work on Monday" Elma tells her.

We have lunch and then play volleyball next.

Haru and I were on one team. Elma on the other.

The twins are in our eyesight.

Elma tosses the ball at me. I miss. I wasn't ready.

Elma keeps on tossing. Haru and I get a few.

"Catch this one! And this one!"

"Elma STOOOPPPP, we can't keep up with you" I pant for air.

"It's ok Mommy Nai, I got this!" Haru says.

When the ball comes to Haru he jumps high and lashes it sending it spinning towards Elma. It catches her off guard and whacks her face. I can hear the material of the flannel ball hitting her.

"Twick your opponent so they will think you are weak."

"Well played Haru-kun" I clap for him.

"Elma, are you ok?" I call, grinning at her.

We continue to play but it's mostly Elma and Haru. They tied. Thank goodness they did not get too crazy though. Too many people are around.

We pack our things and wrap up the day.

"Let's take a family photo" I say.

We ask a staff to take it. Our photo comes out perfect.

"I'll post it to my Instagram" Elma says.

"Don't forget to tag me" I tell her.

We leave the park on time to catch the next train.
