Family Fun Day!

Last Friday was the 3rd Dental Battalion's "Family Fun Day" (also known as, the Company Picnic). Family Fun Day was held at the one Army installation, Torii Station. Torii is on the west side of the island, facing the East China Sea.

Friday was a beautiful day -- perfect for a day on the beach. I liked that there were "activities" (like basketball, volleyball, a "bouncy" and water slide for all the kids, a dunk tank), but that it was also perfectly acceptable to just sit and chill out on the beach! Next time we go to Torii Beach, Joe and I are renting chairs and a umbrella to sit and relax and enjoy the beautiful view!

Sorry UWCI friends, but Torii Beach had Garfield Park beat hands-down! It was a great day!

  1. What, the wonders of Garfield Park don't hold a candle to a beach party? Unbelievable! Hope you guys are doing great, of course, it's hard not to be a little envious with tales from the ocean side when you're land-locked at 90+ degrees! Things are looking good from your blog, always good to get an update!

  2. Hey guys,

    Just got your card today and thought we would look you up. Great to see that you've arrived over in Japan safely, your apartment is looking good.

    We'll definitely be keeping an eye out to see how you are getting on.

    I'm (Keith) just about to go and watch some Baseball for the first time (only on the TV) as we have ESPN free over here for one month. Just reading up on the rules at the moment - so I'll see how it goes! I've watched American football and like it so hopefully this will be good too.

    Bye for now from Scotland...

    Keith and Karen.
