Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's reading this. I hope you all had a great day. My day was just okay. Matt had school on Sunday morning, so I took the kids bowling. I got to take a short nap in the afternoon and then we went out to dinner at what is my favorite place here so far. I did some housework and then went to bed.

Colin is walking a lot more now. He can walk from one room to the next now and not just inbetween  the furniture. He can even stop and change directions now. One of the pictures above is of him walking outside. The other pictures above were taken at Monakids. It is sort of an inside playground for the kids. Similar, I guess to a Chucky Cheese.

On the way to Monakids we went to McDonalds to eat lunch. At McDonald's we ran into two little Japanese kids whose parents had let them go there by themselves. They were 4 and 6. They were bad little kids, as I am finding many Japanese children are! The Japanese just let their kids run wild in some instances where Americans are much more strict. The little boys tried to take Ryan's food, but he couldn't understand them so he just said Konchiwa! It was an interesting encounter.

We went to the Okinawa Children's Zoo on Thursday, which was fun for the kids, but sad. The animals at this zoo have very little room and most of them look sad and underfed. It was children's day which is May 5 and is a national holiday, so they had tons of stuff for the kids to do and the zoo itself was packed.

This weekend, we are going to head up to Okuma, which is the military resort here. I can't wait because I hear the beaches there a beautiful. Then on June 5th we start our scuba diving lessons.

Well, I better go. I hope this finds you all well. We miss you and love you all.
