My Two Favorite Places

Chris and I have spent a great majority of our lives in two places.
1. Okinawa - click for link
2. Bellingham - click for link


Recently two great student produced youtube videos came out about those two places.  Check them out.  They are both really good.  I pasted the links above.

Orion Beer Fest 2010



What a great weekend.  On Saturday we woke up after a good night of rest (ie, Reina made it through the night) and then we went to the beach.  It was a gorgeous day (much needed after the torrential rain we had the previous weekend) and we were able to chill in the water for quite a while.  After having our onigiri snack, we headed home where we all took naps.  Then we got a babysitter so that Chris and I could head to the beer fest to have...some beer.  We were pleasantly surprised to find Reina asleep in her crib when we got home at 7:30.  Then on Sunday, we did it all over again. We went to the same beach, came home and napped (although this time I had to run to the commissary instead) and then we all rode bikes up the the Eisa festival (we did the eisa part this time, since it was more kid - appropriate). I guess the only thing that would have made it a better weekend, is if we had off Monday again.

Obsessions

The infamous legos
Trying on Dad's socks
Reina's attention span has dramatically increased. I didn't notice until she found some lost legos this weekend. She was obsessed with these legos for over 30 minutes, which is amazing.  She has also been spending a lot of time pouring.  Pouring water from one bottle to another and adding cheerios and pouring those too.

We had another storm come through that didn't make typhoon status, but it dumped on us.  Even with umbrellas and raincoats we still got drenched. We bought a bike rack to drive somewhere to go biking, but we haven't had hardly 30minutes without rain to even try it out.  This has meant we've spent a lot of time playing inside and being silly.  No other news.
