With the approach of our THIRD typhoon this weekend, yes, THIRD since we have arrived, I figured I would take advantage of the beautiful weather (it's always cool and windy before a typhoon) and Lily's day off from school, to take us on a little field trip to Kurashiki Dam and Observatory Park.
The dam, I must confess was pretty anticlimactic, especially after the GORGEOUS walking trail leading up to it, but the observatory field/park was great and Lily had a nice time running around chasing birds and butterflies.
While we have the beach and lots of fun kid's parks here in Okinawa, I think Lily misses our yard where she could just RUN. The child loves to just run free! As soon as she saw the observatory park, she was fighting to get out of the stroller. When her little feet hit the ground she was running and giggling a mile a minute. Her joy brings me joy.
There was a little stream on the grounds that some children were playing in as well that Lily really enjoyed. Cool crisp spring water with tiny fish and tadpoles darting around our feet. I could almost see her little brain working and learning as she turned over the rocks and stood still so that the fish could come close to her toes.
