I Love Guam! Part 3



Mya putting the sunscreen on my face. Lesson learned. I let the girls apply some to my face and then I did it myself. They had a blast. The effects were rather comical. If only my camera would pick it up. I ended up having suntan lines from where sunscreen was applied and where it wasn't. I was dying. Needless to say, I am still in search of the right color of foundation necessary to blend those lines ;)

Mya ready for teh beach with her toys in tow. She loves to carry bags, purses, etc.

Gorgeous flowers. The girls and I loved them and put them in our hair. So lovely.

Our precious Claire looking adorable as ever with those beautiful flowers.

This is the snorkeling pool at the hotel. Our kids weren't able to snorkel in here because they didn't meet the height requirements, but we all snorkeled later in the week.

The resort had a river running through it that you could kayak on. It was pretty incredible. They also provided kayaks and windsurfing equipment on the beach, along with snorkels, shoes, etc.



One of the kids pools featured a "zoo" complete with huge animals. The frog was a favorite for Mya. She is a daredevil and demonstrated no fear sliding down the frog and into the water.


Another pool for kids complete with a splash park/playground. The girls weren't fond of this area because of the huge bucket that randomly threw a tsunami at them.

The Zoo.

The girls and I went for a ride in the sail boat. It was so much fun.

Scuba Steve revisited again. You may have remembered Chris attempting to scuba dive in our backyard pool in MA. He finally got to put his skills to the test in an actual ocean. We went for a dolphin watching ride, but saw no dolphins. Instead, they anchored the boat and let us all snorkel. It was incredible. Even the kids had a blast. They hooked up a plastic boat with a plexiglass viewing window. The kids layed on the boat and peered through the window at the coral reef and fish below. It was truly an amazing experience for us all.

Me snorkeling in the water at the beach. The beach was set on a reef, so the water was shallow for a 100 yards or so. It was great.

This is the city trolley/bus. Pretty cute. For $3, we took a ride around the entire route and got a nice feel for the sights. We later bought a 5 day pass and hopped on and off as we liked.


Chris, Claire and Mya on the trolley.

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
