Kurashiki Dam

We took a little trip this weekend to Kurashiki Dam. I've been wanting to go there 'cause they have a little swim area for kids. It was rainy and misty today and the swimming area was closed, but we still wanted to check it out. Here's Scott looking down at the reservoir. I thought it was really pretty!

Matthew was super excited to be there. He RAN all around.

A floating walkway - Matthew wanted to go out on it.

Matthew right before he RAN up a big hill. Earlier in the day, Scott and I ran a hilly trail while pushing the kids in the jogger stroller (while Scott pushed them I mean) and Matthew was dying to get out and run with us. We didn't let him then, 'cause it was raining, so he was happy to get a chance to run up these hills. He ran all the way up too!

No matter where you are in Okinawa, you are never far from the jungle...and the snakes. Here's one of many snake warning signs we saw at the dam. At least I think that's what it is. Scott thought this snake looked too friendly. Matthew thought it looked like the letter N.

Anna liked walking around even though it was very windy. She was excited to see all the pigeons, which she called ducks.

We drove across the dam before we left.

After our trip to the dam we went out for Chinese food. Yum.

And took a little ride in a car by the restaurant. We got a lot done for a rainy misty day.
