99 Islands

In May, we had a visit from a few good college friends. I spent the better part of two weeks wandering around showing them everything I'd done since we got here. In addition to that which I had seen before, I did a few new things with them. One of those new things was a boat ride around the 99 Islands, a scenic area in Sasebo. here's some of what we saw:

Also on the ship were some of my lovely students from the junior college. :-)

It was an hour long trip and we enjoyed it immensely. More pictures to come shortly...

What We're Reading

Zack is on deployment and mostly devotes his reading time to reading the news.

Anne: Recently Finished: Mockingjay I actually just read the whole Hunger Games series actually. I found it very difficult to put down. It reads quick, the characters are strong and interesting, and there's never a dull moment.
Currently Reading: Ratios The author calls this an anti-cook book at one point, meaning that it helps free cooks from the necessity of always having a recipe. It discusses how ratios make up all cooking in one way or another. It's a slower read, since it gets a bit into the technical stuff of cooking, but very interesting to consider.

Ela's current favorites: Sweet Pickles Shes discovered Zack's old collection and she loves any book about animals.

Princess Charity's Courageous Heart I was at the Christian Bookstore picking up my Bible study book, and she said she wanted a book. It's hard to argue with a child who's begging for a book, especially when one has a 40% off coupon, so this was the book she ended up with. It's actually very cute, with a good message.

The Berenstain Bears We have the whole collection from when Zack was little, and she loves them, though I'm not sure she really follows the finer points of the plot.

Lily's current favorite: Baby Faces Lily's into board books and babies, so there you go.
