The boys and I went to Okuma this week with the Curtins. Joe was going to go but at the last minute his boss sent him to a 2 week conference in VA- so he missed the fun! We had one day of good weather due to a typhoon coming our way. So on that one day, we rode the bikes, hiked up trails and played in the water. The condo that we rented had room for 21 people (one other family did not come with us so we had a lot of room) The kids had fun and it was nice to get away. The next day, we were going to hike to a waterfall but the weather got bad and they closed everything up there. The typhoon was then down graded to a tropical storm. After sitting around realizing there was nothing to do, we packed up and headed home. I secured all the outdoor items and went inside to "wait out" the storm. The storm never came but we are getting strong gusts of wind with some rain.

Our last trip to Okuma ended with us coming home early also. We were in a tent and the wind was so strong that the sides of the tent were collapsing in. So a word to the wise, if you plan on going camping and want good weather, don't ask us to come with you- we don't have much luck in that department. Joe will be home on Sunday and the triathlon that I was going to do got postponed until the 15th.
