random update of recent happenings...

Nothing super exciting going on. But I just thought I'd share some photos of the fun stuff we've been up to.

So Quin has been super into "crafts" and art now. We did a messy art day with her BF Lena.





 
One of the local schools held a Nickelodeon sing-a-long show. Quin didn't know many of the characters...but still fun.



 
Another trip to play port. 

 
Sharing tea with Norah. ;)


 
The pool, of course.


 
Another art day. This time...Side walk chalk paint. Quin had so much fun with this! But about 10 minutes after we finished up, we heard a knock at the door and were asked to wash away our "art" as it was taking away from the "beauty" of the complex. Ugh






 
This one...I have no idea. They're toddlers. Enough said.

Guam Naval Hospital

So...this is what it's all been for. It's a picture heavy post- but for those of you that are interested, this is a look at what brought us way over here to Guam.

Experience the Warmth...

Today, we spent the afternoon taking in a little culture at the annual Micronesia Island Festival. It is a yearly event in which all the islands from the area come together here on Guam to share the goods, trades, and foods of their local people. They also put on demonstrations of native dances to traditional music.

"man, it's hot out here!"
Why does Norah look like Alfalfa!??



(really hard to see) coconut crabs


 
We met up with a few friends and made a day of it. The little ones had a blast just running around. But the highlight for them was probably the carabao rides- a tradition here on Guam. It was Quin's first time and she loved it so much, our friend Phil was nice enough to take her for an encore. ;)


 


It was hot and sticky (in true Guam fashion) but other than a couple light showers- it was a really fun day. Although, while it is a nice way of putting it...I am going to suggest they rethink their slogan? I'm just sayin'... :)
