It’s been incredibly busy around here lately. But not the stressful, I-need-a-vacation, kind of busy. It’s been really awesome and fun around here. Nathan started bowling camp this week on Main Base, which is awesome. I love that there are so many activities for children here, and I really love that the community is small enough that there’s a pretty constant group of people we know at every event. I was worried we wouldn’t see any of our friends today, because the camp is not at “our” base. However, we’ve apparently got a wider circle of friends than I thought, because several people we knew from previous activities were there. We have bowling for the rest of the week, then on Saturday we’re going to Nimitz park for the Freedom Festival, which is out big Independence day party. If it’s anything like last year, there will be bouncy houses, carnival games, food, music (Bowling For Soup is headlining!) and fireworks in the evening. Hopefully the weather will be better, because last year it rained the entire time! But today was sunny and beautiful, so I have hope! The weather has been warm, and I can’t tell if we’re just used to the humidity, or if it’s actually better than last year, but it’s been much more pleasant here. Of course, we’ve also been spending every spare hour at the pool across the street! Nathan has shown a marked interest in Japanese castles, so Ty and I have decided to make some day trips to local castles. There are two very nearby, one of which is Kumamoto Castle, one of the top three in the entire country! I’ve also heard that on a nearby island is not only a castle, but a beach! We’re definitely beginning to enjoy Japan a lot more now that we’re better at getting around. Both kids are fast asleep now, Nathan because he played hard today. Stella because she kicked and giggled until she got tired and fell asleep. Now Ty and I are going to snuggle down and sleep the sleep of happy parents with sleeping children!
