Sydney's Chinese New Year Party

Our youngest is very creative AND persistent! She REALLY wanted to host a Chinese New Year party, after studying all about it in school. We relented and the party actually turned out to be a ton of fun complete with crafts, music and dancing!

Cherry Blossoms with Boosom Buddies

The Clancy and Gabriel Clans

We were a little early this year for full blossoms, but it was still a pretty day!

A 13 year old's birthday party

Brenna is 13 now - this is how the girls chose to celebrate: good friends, lots of pizza, snacks and a cookie cake, movies, and staying up until 3AM talking and giggling!

Hiking in Okinawa

Whatever you do when hiking in Okinawa - don't poop and leave your toilet paper!!!

I spy with my little eye a FROG - can you?

It was a narrow path through a lot of low brush, but we made it and it was beautiful up on top!

We searched for a private beach and found the perfect one! AWESOME! After lunch we visited our favorite family run coffee farm, HIRO COFFEE, and visited with the family. Their little girl loves playing with the kids. This year she had a new pet bird!
