Delaney has a Good Friend

Delaney had a very good friend, Annabelle, who lived across the parking lot from us in Iwakuni.  The whole family was pretty awesome and we were very lucky.  Then we moved.  Sad face.

Fortunately, these lovely people have come to Okinawa, twice now. They came over Memorial Day weekend and asked to spend as much time as possible with Delaney.  They did go our and do some fun things.  We went to dinner together the first night.

After that, they came and took her away of fun excursions.  Rylee was very sad to not get to go along, and I confess, it looks like Delaney had a marvelous time and I was a little jealous as well.

She got to go glass blowing! Apparently the helpers did most of the work, but Delaney got to help. This is spinning the stick while blowing into the tube.

They helped her blow the glass and do all the stuff.  She said it was very hot.

She also said it was very cool. 

She made a beautiful little glass cup.  A small cup, but a very pretty one!  She was excited to bring it home.

they also learned how to make salt!

Apparently they took a lot of seawater and boiled it down to salt.

It was very clumpy, very fine salt.

They got to bring home a cute little pot of salt.

And Delaney got herfirsyt pedicure!  She LOVED it. And who wouldn't love getting pampered while eating ice cream?!

She had very cute little piggies when she came home.

Delaney also got to co walk down the seawall and the beach.  She had a really good time with her friend.  She is lucky to be able to make good friends and hold onto them.
