Hamahiga Island, Sunabe Seawall, and Pizza!!

Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile, but life has been a little crazy with summer coming to an end! All the boys are back in school and loving all their new teachers and classes! It has also been baseball season and with three teams it has been crazy with all their practices and games!  I am thankful for all my friends that help me shuffle all the boys around.  It definitely takes a village here in Okinawa when you are so far away from family!

I did have one day with just me and Colt!  He was out of school for the day but all my other boys had school.  We decided to head straight for the beach since that is all he ever wants to do!  We went to a new island off of Okinawa that you can reach by car.  I have been wanting to visit this island for awhile.  Hamahiga Island is a really small island that is not too far from our house.  We packed up all our snorkel gear and beach toys and headed for the water!

Colt had the best time playing with his new friend he made.  They didn’t speak the same language but they swam and hunted for crabs together!  It was so cute!


Colt spent the rest of the day snorkeling around.  He is getting so good at it and had so much fun looking at the fish and bringing me shells he would find!

 

 

 


On our way home you have to cross another big bridge to get back to the main island of Okinawa!  There were a lot of cars stopped on the bridge and everyone was out taking pictures!  I looked over and saw such a beautiful sight of the ocean at low tide.

 

 

 

 

Colt and I had the best day just the two of us!  
 
Every weekend we try to explore something new on the island.  Brandon and Bryson have been doing a lot of diving and we have had a lot of baseball games on the weekends!  This past week we had a typhoon circle around Okinawa!  It didn’t actually hit us but the winds were really strong and the waves were huge. On Sunday we decided to get out and explore a little and have dinner on the seawall.  It was the perfect evening and it was fun to watch the waves that were still big from the typhoon that was making its way up to mainland Japan.

After moving to Okinawa, I realized that I should have done more exploring in the United States.  When we get back we are going to explore as much of our beautiful country as we can!  So go out this weekend and find your own beautiful place to explore!
