This Thanksgiving Weekend...

Feasting at the Simmons

The Simmons were kind enough to invite us and a few other families over for Thanksgiving Dinner. There was quite a spread and the food was super delicious. We don't have any pictures after the meal because everyone experienced severe Post-Thanksgiving-Meal Comas and lost all consciousness.

Mt Yonaha Hike
At a towering 1,494 feet above sea level, Mt Yonaha is the EVEREST of Okinawa. Due to the extreme high-altitude and unpredictable weather conditions at the top, few individuals undertake the long trek to the summit. The trail-hardened Hershfeldt family agreed to join us for this daunting expedition. Those who made it to the summit were rewarded with a breathtaking 360 degree panorama of bamboo and other thick vegetation.

Salamander on Steroids?

On the way back to the trailhead, we encountered this brightly colored salamander during his afternoon push-up exercise routine.

Happy to be in Her "Car Seat"

After hiking all the way to the top and most of the way back, McCall finally decided that it was time to ride on my shoulders in her "car seat"

McCall Working on Her Napping Skills
This is the position that McCall fell asleep in about ten seconds after sitting down. She was really tired after the extreme hiking and must have been suffering from altitude sickness.

Go-Karting

Who would have ever thought that the Dalpias Family would look soooooo good in safety glasses?

Holly Really Likes This Picture

She says that it is because it is framed so nicely and the colors are so beautiful, but we all know the real reason is because the picture highlights Jason's handsome smile and chiseled physique.

Cute Couple

People continuously mistake us for teenagers. The other day we went to lunch and the Security Forces personnel stopped us and asked to see some ID. They thought we were sluffing school.
