After almost 2 years of being in Okinawa, we finally had visitors! We were so excited to see Sean's parents and for them to meet our little Barrett.
Even though it rained most of the time they were visiting, we were able to go on a few adventures and show them the island.
Such a proud Papa!
Sean's parents experiencing how completely obsessed Okinawans are with little babies.
Our first big outing with Barrett was to the Aquarium
Sean's mom already teaching Barrett! <3
We finally got a semi-sunny day, and took advantage of it! We took Sean's parents to Shuri Castle! Shuri Caslte is a Ryukyuan Castle and was the palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom. However, during World War II it was taken by the Americans, in the Battle of Okinawa, and was almost completely destroyed. In 1992, the main building was reconstructed and is now designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Quite possibly one of my favorite pictures of Sean - Proud dad or Peter Pan?
While we were at Shuri Castle we went to a Traditional Tea Ceremony. We loved it! If you live in Okinawa, and have babies, you know how completely in love Okinawans are with the little ones. This lovely Okinawan almost didn't give Barrett back!
Our week with Sean's parents went by way too fast! We loved spending time with them and showing them around Okinawa. It really made us miss home. We are so thankful they made the long trek out here to see our little bub. We love you guys!
