Saturday....

Otherwise known as Spring outing day :) We decided to head for the islands on the Western side of Okinawa.

We drove over a couple really cool bridges and through some concrete tunnels to get to Ikei Island. On the way we stopped at a beach to watch people surf using Parachutes and Sails. We decided we are going to have to try this someday (not today!)

We found a nice spot for a family photo. Now that we have the whole Self-Timer thing on the camera figured out, we will be doing these alot more often!

We got back into the car and drove to the end of the road at Big Time Resort. The beach wasn't a good swimming beach because of Riptides, but we had a good time walking it. Chris found a bunch of sea floats (no glass floats tho) and a plastic container to haul them in:

Stephanie opted for something smaller:

These are broken pieces of glass that have been rubbed completely smooth by the water and the sand. The are known as Sea Glass. This is a much easier collection to haul around :)

After a couple hours in the sun we were ready to go home, but we had to stop for our favorite treat, Blue Seal ice cream. Today's flavors were Coconut, Sugar Cane, Cookies and Cream and Mint Chocolate Chip. YUM!
