Whew! Finally posting pics of Brad's last day!


On Brad's last day with us we took him over to the Climbing Gym. He had never been to one before and it was a fun. We were all impressed how quickly he picked it up. He and Scott were even racing each other by the end... Total Boy!!!
Here he is on one of his climbing attempts...


Here is one of Sam climbing... He made it higher than last time! Progress!!!!

Next comes Kevin who did as well as Brad and Scott and made it all the way to the top of the wall hitting both the pulley at the top and the "G" for Goal!!! He was amazing!

Andrew held his own climbing MUCH farther than he did the first time we came for his birthday!!!

Finally one of Dad...
After leaving the gym we headed over to one of Okinawa's playgrounds. We decided to take Brad to "Drop Slide Park" as we Americans like to call it. The name is fitting due to the fact one must dangle from a bar and let go to drop down the slide at a 90 degree angle!!! It is a little blurry, but here is a picture of the slide.
After going down the drop slide we headed over to a pretty cool Roller Slide. For those who have not lived on Okinawa, these are slides that have metal rods that are placed very close together. The rods spin much like a conveyor belt. The rider gets on and rolls down the slide. It does help to have a piece of cardboard to slide down with as it can be a little tough on the ol' bum as poor Uncle Brad discovered!

Finally, it should be noted that you should not shoot anyone at the park with a hand gun... especially if that person is a dog owner...

This sign provided some good Engrish... Hope you can read it!!!
