And if you thought there couldn't possibly be more to share from Don and Leanne's trip to Okinawa... you were wrong! Below are some highlights from our last few days together:

Us in front of the huge drum from the dinner show

Traditional Okinawan Eisa Drummers

Check out this video clip of the drummers:



The first Shisa Dog I've seen that's NOT made of concrete

Check out this video of the Shisa as it eats our camera and random babies:



Jet-ski day started off a little rainy, but quickly became gorgeous - the water was like glass!

Don & Leanne in front of one of our favorite restaurants on the island - Arin Krin (aka - the garlic house)


We had sooo many yummy things - the pizza, the spicy fries, even the radish salad was amazing!


Us at home;)


Playing games while waiting for our breakfast at Jakkepoes Pancake House





Yummiest pancakes EVER


Peace Prayer Park


War memorial museum - it was sad, but actually very well displayed and educational I thought


Don holding a canteen from the war that still has water in it today


This room had books to read that were full of eye-witness stories from the war - most of them were written in Kanji (Japanese symbols) but they had a few in English, and the stories we read were extremely sad





What a crazy family - I think we're scaring this woman behind us


Outside the museum





Unexploded Ordinance and etc. from WWII


Don & Leanne at the Cornerstone of Peace


I like turtles


Suicide Cliffs from the war


Ticket Restaurant - more amazing fried rice that cooks while you eat it


Goofing around at Jusco Mall on the last night


Matt with a poo hat on (yes, a poo hat)


Me as the birthday pimp


Do you like my new Anjolina Sunglasses Stand?? LOL


Check out this video clip of Matt demonstrating how to use the cool Japanese refrigerators:



Don finally found those treats he likes... all we know about them is that they have have a flying girl with a crown on the package, and they taste really good!
