After all our travels up north, we had to break things up with an easier day, meaning playground in the morning and souvenir shopping in the afternoon. Mom snapped this great shot of me and my kiddos on the teeter-totter (Dad was on the other end).
Mom took Naomi for a ride down the “little” slide.
Later, Naomi picked (and ate) wildflowers while Logan went down the big slide.
The final stop on our island tour: the Peace Prayer Park.
After visiting the central monument area, we parted ways. Jake took Mom and Dad through the museum, while I took the kids elsewhere.
It was blistering hot that day, so in an effort to prolong our time in the air-conditioning, we checked out the observation tower first.
Next up was the playground, of course. And obviously we had to follow that up with some ice cream.
Mom and Dad flew out the next morning, right after church. We had a great time while they were here, and they were good sports trying out all sorts of new things. I’m very proud of them!
Such treasured memories of our time on your island, Okinawa!!! Had heard so much about the island during active duty that it was marvelous to see the island with our own eyes. Thanks to our delightful tour guides - the 'big' guides as well as the 'little' guides!!! Miss all of you.

Just a note - you should have posted the picture of you, Naomi and Logan coming down the roller slide at Civic Center Park - LOVE the expression on all of your faces!!!!
