Today I awoke around 1830 and proceed to get ready and go about our day. I was in excited expectation of going kayaking to see the whale sharks. I started out with coffee and later a very delicious omelette made by Kurt. We then decided that we would work on a rock climbing wall for Nyah and the other Thomas clan kids after our breakfast. The kayaking trip came to an unexpected ted end when Kurt saw and noticed that the waves out in the ocean were white capped and looking rather rough.
So we then decided to stay home and work on the base for the rock climbing wall, we would take some palates and attach them to the base to make it a triangle shape. It was a long, laborious work of 2.5 hrs, when we finished with adding more climbing rocks. We then wanted to make the wall more stable. So we decided to put a 55 gal bucket under the wall base and Kurt and Nyah climbed up on the wall to fill the water bucket and hook the bucket to the wall, so that the weight of the water in the bucket would hold down the wall to stabilize it.
Today was also the significant event of Nyah's 9th birthday party, with guests coming who would utilize the rock climbing wall. We hung out at home while waiting for Mary and the guests to arrive. When they arrived, Kurt and I went out to a beach that had a cave that had been used as a fortified defense during the Battle for Okinawa. We also brought metal detectors to look for old war relics. Alas, the tide was not low tide and we could not access the cave. Well we will just have to try again tomorrow! Tomorrow is going to be a very fun day, as all my days have been so far! Good night ya'll!
