I heart trees. Maybe it's because I haven't really been around them in while, but I really enjoyed walking through the woods and seeing all the different types of hearty trees. I liked seeing the sun light shining through at different points of the day. It reminds me of camping when I was little. I remember being told when I was younger (maybe by my Poppie) not to peel the birch trees because if anyone was ever lost in the woods, they could quickly set the bark on fire to send a signal for help. Thinking about that now, it doesn't sound like such a great idea, ya know, with Forest fires being a huge problem and all. But nonetheless, that's what I think of whenever I see a birch tree:
See what I mean about that sun light?
I think I might do a little tree motif for my wall. A mixture of photos and paintings. There is this one tree on Kadena that must be my favorite tree in Okinawa. I Keep saying I'm going to take a picture of it, because it just looks so cool.
Ok, enough trees, back to people. Here is Olivia and Grandma:
Right now Olivia is thinking, "You want me to swim in that? Where is my crystal clear ocean...?"
"Well, ok, I mean I won't pass up a chance to swim!"
Taking a break:
She liked finding acorns:
Here is Daddy and Aunt Paula going out on the Jet ski. We all had turns on it, well, except Olivia. And we also went tubing off the back of the jet ski. And I didn't fall off at all...no thanks to Michael, who encouraged me to let go. Mommy and Daddy were quite sore the next day from all the rough play:
Watching Daddy take off:
On the boat, heading back:
Hannah, Daddy, Mommy, Olivia, and Aunt Paula:
Isn't the life jacket the cutest thing ever? She, however, was not too thrilled about it:
But she did like it once the boat got moving:
Oh never mind, she pulled out the mean face on me, "stop taking pictures of me in this silly vest, Mom!"
She couldn't hold out anymore. Too much fun for one little baby. And the rumble of the boat took her over the edge. She was passed out!
The views from the boat:
Catching the sunset:
Going, Going...
Gone...
