Beach Party

 August 25th was the annual Branch Beach Party to celebrate the end of summer.  The weather was iffy.  There have been typhoons up the wazoo this summer and while none hit Okinawa directly, they did induce a lot of windy and rainy days. And that's what we got on Beach Party Day.

I said I wouldn't go if it was raining when it was time to go.  It was not raining, so I reluctantly got in the car. The weather held till about the time we got to the beach.  Then the wind blew like cray and it sprinkled off and on.  So it was a very windy and slightly rainy event.  Not my favorite weather.

I did not get in the water.  There was a little wading and some swimming, but with the wind pelting you with sand and rain, it wasn't a great dat to be out.  Grilling was also interesting!  We had to make sure everything was weighted down so it didn't fly away on the wind.

Still, we had a decent turn out and the food was tasty and I think everyone had a good time.

Marian wanted a picture.

"No wait, get one of me in the water!"

Delaney got in.  She found a friend and they had a blast. 

I think she stayed in the water most of the time.  She got a wee bit sunburned as well.

 It was a beautiful beach.  The photo does it no justice.

 Rylee running up the beach.  Can you see that ugly weather blowing in?!

 Callie wanted you to know what the wind and rain do to her hair.
