Golfing in our backyard

If you look on the horizon you can see the ocean.

Hazel has really come a long way in her swimming ability since we moved to Guam. When we arrived she was timid and always wanted her floaty. Now she loves snorkeling all over the pool. We're excited to take her to the ocean.

5k loop

It rained and was overcast this morning so we all went on a walk around the Leo Palace complex. During the 3 mile loop we counted 60 squished frogs and 16 slugs. ��

Bananas

We have a court yard between our house and the attached duplex.  Our neighbor pointed out to me the other day that we have bananas!  I had never noticed them and honestly I couldn't have told you what a banana tree/plant looked like.  Well now I can but I'm not sure how to get them......

Recent Happenings

Easter was fun.  I really miss my family and friends but we have been having such sweet times with the 5 of us.  On Easter we went to church then came home had lunch and a little egg hunt.  The our house phone rang (I didn't even know we had a phone).  I answered it and it was a pilot and his family who invited us over for dinner and another egg hunt. Only on Guam would pilot scheduling give out your house number.   (Thanks mom for the girls dresses :) )

A pilot and his family that live a few doors down invited us out on their boat.  We saw lots of flying fish and an old Spanish bridge from the 1500s.

I could hear the girls really laughing and as I walked down the hall I could smell power and I knew it wasn't good.  Hayden just wanted to "Make Ivy white".

Our House

We live at a place called Leo Palace.  Leo palace is a resort that was built by and caters to the Japanese.  http://www.guam.ne.jp/  It is out of "town" and a family friendly area.  There is a two mile road from a main road to the entrance of the complex. Leo Palace has a golf course (designed by some famous golfers), a track and work out facility, 5 swimming pools, soccer and baseball fields, several restaurants, their own water and power source (nice since outages are common on Guam), security and garages.  When we tell people where we live they say, "oh, pilot-vil".  And it's kinda true, there are 5 pilots that I know of in our 40 duplex area.  There are also at least 10 girls under the age of 8.  Neighborhood friends, neighborhood pools and all the frogs you can catch.  It's a great place for us on Guam.
