OODOMARI BEACH

Abby's sandcastle

There were a lot of fish to see snorkeling. But we didn't like being in a restricted roped off area or having to pay. It was still beautiful and fun though. 

SHIRUMICHU BEACH AND SHRINE

We had fun at the beach with friends and the kids enjoyed jumping off the dam. We also visited the nearby shrine.

RELIEF SOCIETY BARRE BEACH ACTIVITY

Sarah Moon led us in a great workout routine while we watched the sunset. It was really fun.

HOMESCHOOLING SISTERS

Homeschool fun: Reenacting a historic battle with origami boats the bathtub. Making the sun and planets out of stuffed animals and balls. 

Brooklyn and Audrey cleaned their room and made this cute sign with a tiger and panda. It makes me happy to see them being kind and loving to each other. 

Found these epic panda heads at Don Q.

At the library the girls tried a Japanese tradition of writing a wish and tying it to a tree. These are Brooklyn's wishes. 

BLUE POINT FALAFEL AND COFFEE

The cake was especially good!

Jared and I had a nice date with delicious food at Blue Point.

MOON TREE FLOWERS

We took an evening outing to see the moon flowers. This tree blooms in the moonlight and is so beautiful!

ARAHA BEACH

KERAMAS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

We spent the day in paradise snorkeling and scuba diving. Keramashoto National Park did not disappoint! Jared got open water dive certified. We saw colorful coral reefs and beautiful fish, sea snakes, turtles, and even saw a pod of dolphins on the boat ride back to Okinawa.
