BIOs on the Hill/Okinawa v. USA: Parks

Again, one of the main reason I will miss Okinawa-the parks. Where else can you get up close and personal with a hog in the thick of swine flu season? Where else can you walk goats on a leash and get a ride from an Ox? If you find a place in the States that costs less than 10 bucks, let me know. The Okinawans also throw safety and caution to the winds which results in incredible jungle gyms. Check Peter out on a pretty awesome slide! Even Pudge wouldn't get near that monster! The Orchids are in season and it has been quite some time since I have seen flowers so beautiful. Our trip to Bios on the hill was part of our farewell week with our friends. We will surely miss the Rohr girls!

Comprehensive Park-One Last Time

This is our favorite park by far…just take a look and you can see why. This park is a must for families with kids coming to Okinawa. The boys had a great time riding their scooters (Danny is getting pretty good), climbing the castle, and feeding the carp (which I find disgusting yet somehow can’t stop watching). The park was bustling with locals on vacation during Japanese Golden Week. For more on golden week check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Week_(Japan)

Round I Part II (with Farrell)

Parents have fun too! They even get stuck. Take a look at the old man chasing after his kids and getting stuck in the net! And this guy is going to lead a battalion of Marines! Follow Me!
Well, there was some devil pup training going on. Farrell took the boys to the mats and showed them some of his moves…or did they show him their moves… who could tell?! They had a great time and we will never forget our Round I experience (where else can a pregnant lady go, let her boys run loose while sitting in a massage chair?!)

Dolphin Park

I am writing about this one a little late in the game...but I didn't want to miss the chance to blog about it. For John and Nance's last day we went snorkeling in the morning (see other entry) and to the Dolphin Park in the afternoon. The boys love the roller slide and I love the merry go round-so did Big Nance!
