The Seawall

I've been working on some squares for an Okinawa memory quilt (more about that to come) and today is the day we exchange our squares. It's very exciting. We each picked something about Okinawa that was special to us and made 20 or so identical squares depicting our chosen theme and today we will exchange them. I picked the seawall. Yes, I know, that sounds like a not very exciting choice. But we live right by the seawall and its something about Okinawa that I'll always remember. Here we are a few days ago riding bikes on the seawall by our house.

Scott and I had to have a discussion about whether or not Matthew needs a bigger bike.
Answer: to be determined

I thought it would be fun to ride bikes down the seawall, but Matthew can go a lot faster than Anna, so he kept having to loop around back to us. Oh well.

Anna kept abandoning her bike to come give us hugs.

Here's a picture from the bottom of the seawall.
Pretty exciting, eh?

And another view from the top.
I like the geometric look of the seawall jacks.
Pictures of the quilt squares coming soon.
