Okinawa Zoo
We had a great time at the zoo! Everyone was bundled up to see the animals. The kids were so excited we could hardly keep up with them. 
2009 starts off the year of the bull in Japan. I am sure it will be a popular year to go to a bull fight here. We have some bulls that live down the street from us. It is Jackson's lucky day when we see them out getting some fresh air or for a walk in front of our house. 
Aren't bats the most interesting animals? This was on of many taking it's afternoon snooze.
Sophia sporting her trendy jacket. Love those curls!
An adorable pic of James and Michelle. Say cheesu!
I rarely see the hippos out of the water. They are some massive animals!! 
Above is Jackson pointing to the sign warning you that the animal may throw their excrement at you. Needless to say, we didn't stick around there too long.
Grace with some heavy eyelids as we stroll through the zoo. She looks so warm and cozy!
This sign is a classic example of "lost in translation."
Attached to the zoo is a wonder musuem for the kids. There were some very unique things for the kids to do. 
Grace has learned how to wave...

Grace has learned how to wave...Mona Kids and Kokusai Street
Our Oki-family went to the Mona Kids jungle for the afternoon for the kids to get some much needed energy out. They had a blast! It is a perfect place for the kids to run wild and the parents can still visit without having to keep much of an eye on them. This is the first time Jackson has been where we didn't have to help him...which was SO nice! Before we know it, Grace will be running around in there!
Here is the clan...Kai (holding Grace), Mason, Jackson, Molly, Willow and Sophia Bella
This is a typical sight here in Okinawa. The Japanese love to display the food they serve just to give you a peek of what is looks like (it is made out of plastic). And believe it or not...it really does look like that when it comes to the table.
Sophia taking a noodle break.
Jackson made friends with some local girls. For some reason this is a typical way to "say cheese" for the Japanese.
Kento eating some takoyaki...better known as octopus balls.
Who doesn't love the balls!?!
On the way to Kokusai Street I spotted this Orion sign. This is our favorite beer here in Oki. Brewed and consumed here! ;-) 
We went to an Indian restaurant called Nanak for dinner. It was excellent! This is what Liz ordered. Can you say NAAN! 
Jason, Tritia and Kent have hungry smiles on their face. We had a wonderful day with our friends and topped off the evening with dinner and a stroll down the unique streets of downtown Naha. What a life...
