In the evening I asked my oldest daughter “ Where do you want to go from now? It’s is already evening. So we can’t go so far”. She wondered and replied to me “Daimaru!”.
Daimaru is a department store. It is really near place, where we were easily able to go that time (before dinner).
とある夕方、上の子に「今からどこに行きたい、もう夕方だし、遠くは無理だよ。」と尋ねました。彼女はすこし考えて、「大丸」と答えました。大丸はデパートです。とても近い場所です。なので、（夕飯までに）そのときでもすぐ行けました。
So we rode my Mama Bicycle to Daimaru, the department store.
At the parking lot there were full of bikes to go shopping. A billboard “満車（Not available）“ was shown. However it took five minutes to wait to find a room to stop my bicycle there.
There were many bikes including Mama Bicycles.
なので、まま自転車で大丸までいきました。そこの駐輪場は買いものの自転車でいっぱいでした。「満車」の看板がたってました。でも、５分くらいして停める場所を探すことができました。
After parking we walked to the department store. It took three minutes walk. In front of the department store varieties of bikes were sold. There were also Bobike mini front baskets.
自転車を停めて、デパートへ歩きました。３分くらい。デパートの前には、いろんな種類の自転車が売ってました。ボバイクの小さいタイプの前のせかごもありました。
As soon as we entered the department store my daughters rushed to their favorite floor. They were addicted to a card game for girls. Precisely like a card game. She has been correcting “hearts”, by which she is able to chose clothes on the screen of the dancing game.
After the game for half an hour we strolled in the department store to buy some of ingredients for dinner and went back home.
デパートに入るやすぐむすめたちは行きつけのフロアに駈け出しました。カードゲームに夢中なんです。正確にはカードゲームみたいなものです。ハートを集めていて、ハートで
ダンスゲームの服をチョイスするんです。
ゲームは３０分ほどして、そのあとデパートをぶらっとして、夕食の食材を少し買って帰りました。

In the evening I asked my oldest daughter “ Where do you want to go from now?
It's is already evening.
She paused for thought and replied to me “Daimaru!”.
It is really near place, where so we were easily able to go that time (before dinner).
At the parking lot, it was full of bikes to go shopping.
A billboard read “満車（Not available）“.
However it took five minutes' to wait to find a spot to park my bicycle there.
It took three minutes' walk.
In front of the department store, various bikes were being sold.
She has been collecting “hearts”, by which she is able to choose clothes on the screen of the dancing game.
After having played the game for half an hour we strolled into the department store to buy some of ingredients for dinner and went back home.
However it took after five minutes to wait to I found a space find a room to stop park my bicycle there.
In the evening I asked my oldest daughter “ Where do you want to go from now?"(or: "Where do you want to go from here?" if you are leaving a place [aside from home] to go to another place)
She wondered a bit and replied to me “Daimaru!”.(I'm not sure why, but adding "a bit" here makes "wondered" sound more natural to me)
It is a really nearby place, so we were easily able to go at the time (before dinner).
At The parking lot there was full of bikes to go shopping.
A billboard “満車（No spaces available）“ was shown.
However it took five minutes to wait to find a room to stop my bicycle there.(I suggest: "However, I was able to find a space to park my bicycle, though it took five minutes." ← since "however" is used when you are making a statement contradictory to the previous sentence (it was full→ however, I was able to find a spot), it's most natural to start this off with something positive (was able to find a spot) after the negative sentence "no spaces available" ^^)
There were many bikes, including Mama Bicycles.
It took three minutes to walk.(or: "It took a three minute walk.")
In front of the department store, a variety of bikes were being sold.(or: "various bikes" // "were for sale")
Or should I say, it's similar to a card game.(just a suggestion ^^ It's somewhat more clear)
She has been collecting “hearts,” with which she is able to chose clothes on the screen of the dancing game.
After playing the game for half an hour we strolled through the department store to buy some of ingredients for dinner, and then we went back home.("and went back home" is good too ^^ This is just a bit more natural to me)
I agree with Tsugumiさん, it's really fun to read about outings like these :)
I also think space to park is more suitable than room to stop. I often see the word room so I just used it.
Thank you.
