Okinawa Japan

My Husband and I were so blessed to be able to visit our daughter's family. Our son in law is in the Military and stationed in Okinawa. It was so good to see the family, we hadn't seen them in over two years. Of course the children have grown. It always makes me a little sad to think of all the things I miss. The up side is when we do get to see them it is in interesting and beautiful places like Okinawa. What a beautiful Island! We had the best time. We did all the family stuff. We visited the kids schools and watched ball game and went to end of season softball party's. And while the Men went golfing we girls hit the gym and shops. But the most memorable was snorkeling in the East China Sea. I'm a desert dweller and not comfortable in the Ocean. But my son in law love the water. We enjoyed the safety of the shallow water behind the reef. And when I felt comfortable enough to try the deeper water my son in law took me out to the reef where the corral drops off about 40 feet. And with His help I went out over the deeper water. This is a big deal for me. I'm not the most adventures of people. But it was amazing. And I never would have tryed it without Son-i-laws help. Thank you s-i-l.
A Japanese man who was feeding the fish shared the food with us. Hubby hurts his knee on corral. The screw driver is to push off the corral, we are sharing gloves. Works well for my daughter and I, she is left handed!
