September has been pretty much a wash for me. Scott has been working all day every day to close out the fiscal year at Kadena. I've been sick all month and most of the summer. I'm starting to think its something in the house that is making us sick. Like mold spewing out of some air conditioner or something...which wouldn't be that far fetched. Eww! In any case I haven't been feeling the most adventurous. The kids are a little sick too. Matthew finally got our sickness, but I thought the kids were still well enough to take out and about. Matthew did announce loudly at story time today that he couldn't sing the song very well 'cause he has "a nasty cough," which was kind of embarrassing. At least he didn't cough while we were there.After the library we went to the pirate ship park at Araha Beach.
It was such a pretty day. Not Okinawa summer hot - still humid but only mid 80s. The beach was still open but pretty much empty, which was nice. Matthew tried the zip line (with me running along side) only once. Then he decided it was too scary. Anna did it too (with me holding her on there and running alongside). She liked it I think, but didn't ask to do it again.
Here she climbs up the big pirate ship steps.
She walked across the high wobbly bridge.
The beach was pretty. I wished we'd brought our swimming stuff. This is more like southern CA summer weather...a little drier, not as hot. Love it. I gotta enjoy the beach while I can...we'll be leaving it soon (tear).
Ooh, that water looked tempting.Maybe we'll come back tomorrow and swim...as long as its not raining. ;)
We got shaved ice at a little stand at the beach. The prices were all in yen but there was a sign that said they only take US dollars. Of course the sign was in English only. I paid in dollars and he gave me change in yen. Hmm Anyway, we enjoyed our icy treats and then headed home to read our library books. I was happy we got to get out of the house today for something other than errands and chores. Gotta enjoy Okinawa while we can!

We were in BC in May and needed to ship something to the US, so we paid in dollars and had the same thing, their money back and we were leaving the country and were like, "what are we going to do with this now?"
Looks like a fun park!
