「ゴガク魔女」を目指して　～４児のママの懲りない実験～

(1)ショースタジアムの混みようはGWやお盆以上で、13:30のショーの
1時間くらい前にすでに席は全部ふさがり、車いすスペースに一度
入ったら身動きとれませんでした。21キロ・130センチの智佳子を抱えて売店に行こうとしてみましたが、くたびれもうけで戻ってきました。

(1-English)The show stadium was packed with crowd, maybe larger than that I saw in the "Golden Week" holidays in May or Obon period in mid August. When we entered the stadium about one hour earlier to watch the 13:30 show, seats were entirely occupied and once we got to the space for the wheelchair spectators, we could hardly move.

I tried to get to the food stand for a drink or something carrying or holding Chikako who now weighs 21kg and is 1.3 meter tall, just in vain as I realized it would be difficult to take her back to her stroller while bringing food or a drink cup.


(2)しかし、いるかたちはギャラリーの多さに張り切っていたのか、ショーではすごいパフォーマンスを見せてくれました。小型クジラのセーラーがスピンしながら泳いでいたのは初めて見ました。

また、ショーの前にセーラーとバンドウイルカのシェリルがプールサイドに上がってみせてくれたり、（智佳子が乗り出して眺めていました）待ち疲れているお客さんへの心遣いらしい動きがおもしろかったです。

(2)Meanwhile the dolphins, probably being energized by the number of spectators, show us a splendid performance which made me feel rewarding.

I saw the small black she-whale "Sailor" spinning as she swam
forward for the first time.

Besides, we had an amusing moment about 15 minutes before the start of the show as "Sailor" and "Sherill"(I'm not sure how it spells), a gray bottle-nosed she-dolphin got onto the stage beside the pool one after the other. Chikako was bending forward as she curiously watch them. I was impressed as they made a move showing consideration for the tired crowd.
