  • Yes, we are still here!!

    As my title says--yes, we are still here----just very, very busy!!  We have something going on almost all the time.  However, this past Saturday we actually had nothing going on----we were so glad to have some free time!  We went to the pool and beach and went on a little walk or "field trip" as the boys call it(:  It was alot of fun and they were worn out by the time we were done----which ,of course, is always a good thing!!

    Jack loves to wear his water wings---I was surprised at how well he's done with them----that's a Guam baby for ya(:

    He loves to go down the slide---he tries to say "Ready, set, go..."

    I thought this picture was so funny---It looks like the boys are rescuing Ken from drowning!! or maybe drowning him!!

    Scenery shot of the pool---actually a hotel/resort that we joined.

    While on our walk we found this little spot where homeless people build shelter---Wesley thought it was cool!

    We also found this swing that Chase loved---of course!!

    Scenery...

    We also found a walkway that was built up along the cliff line----it
    had some steep stairs but we managed---the view was beautiful.

    It was a big day for Jack... and Ken too!

  • The Slingshot !!

    Well, summer has started and we are busy!!  Our "Camp Team" arrived last week and the summer day camp program has started and there's no stopping now--at least not until August!!  We are having fun already and can't wait for the rest of the summer.

    Anyway, I wanted to post a few pictures of Chase--my dare devil.  Here in Guam we have one of those rides called "The Slingshot".  Well, he has been begging since his was 3 to go on this ride.  I can't even watch it without getting goose bumps.  So, he was finally old enough (minimum age is 5) and just tall enough.  So, we told him for his graduation present he could go---of course Ken had to go too.   This thing scares me to death.  We have a friend who is a pilot and he won't even go on it.  Basically you sit in this round thing and they strap you in and then  to quote the description---"You are catapaulted vertically 270 feet into the air at 100 mph with a force of 6 times gravity." SCARY!!!  Apparently not to Chase, though. We purchased the DVD of the ride and he was smiling the whole time---he LOVED it.  The only part that scared him was this creepy voice at the beginning before they shoot off.  He said he would do it again if we could get them to turn off the scary voice!!  He is such a crazy kid!!!

    Before the ride---Excited!!

    Getting ready...

    Up in the air!!

    Landed!
