ok, so here's a little recap of all the fun stuff we've been up to here in guam the past few months.....

we've been to onward water park.....  super fun! lena loved the slides & she is such a little fish... she loves the water!

our gang (jeff's office people - way cool, lucky he works with such great friends)

 her fav


 mommy & daddy on the scary slide....  the manta - literally a straight drop into a half pipe sort of thing (i got whip lash....  but went again. that's how cool it was.)



we went out on a boat with jeff's soccer team to celebrate the end of the season.  lena loved it!

lena checking out a starfish
 moms & their babies



 the end to a nice day



we've been to gab gab & snorkeled & not sure what to call this....  jeff calls it his front flip, but i think we can easily call fail on that one.....


little cousteau



we decided to open up a daycare service in our home & then immediately reconsidered such a crazy thought when we were out numbered by 3 toddlers.  (we were watching jeff's coworkers' kids during an award ceremony)




we celebrated easter & mommy forgot, not once, but twice that the poor girl actually needs a basket to collect easter eggs with, duh!  still getting the hang of this mom stuff.....  

at the easter egg hunt on base (sans basket)

traditional easter carabao ???
at max's house for easter brunch (again, without basket)



now this would be a lot easier if i had somewhere to put these eggs....


that about wraps us the local stuff, next post will be about australia!  

being a permanent tourist

fun weekend & i'm kicking myself for not taking pictures continuously like the rest of the smart tourists do while they're on this beautiful island. anywaay, just imagine in your mind a beautiful tropical island where the weather is perfect, not too hot, not too cold, not too sunny, but not too cloudy & just the right amount of breeze. so nice. i really love guam. jeff & i are planning an ode to guam photo shoot one of these weekends....... we'll be sure to share.
well, the weekend was nice...... jeff's soccer game sat night, his shop had a bbq at the beach on base sun night & today jeff got a comp day off for so many off duty hours he's put in lately & so we went down to a beach in tumon. so nice. it was crazy today though, driving down in tumon is like being in japanese tourist district, but today we saw droves of aussies or kiwis, must be on holiday. anyway, a bit off topic, but somehow still related......
i'm a crazy driver & i get somewhat impatient behind the wheel (that's putting it mildly). but i'm reminded of all the touristy places i've been able to call home & how frustrating it is to be a local constantly battling the roving, unaware tourist. orlando- driving is just plain horrible. charleston- the battle of the horse carriage (always getting stuck behind one on a one way street when you're late to work). fort walton beach- spring breakers or worse- the snow birds. guam- the japanese tourist bus & trolleys...... one consolation is that i'm living a permanent vacation.
