another family visit

What a crazy past few weeks! First the girls arrived and it took a week or so to adjust to the time change and also having our little family all together, and then George's mom (Nancy) and sister (Ardry) came to visit for 10 days. We've been on the go all summer! 

A few days after the girls got here, and a few days before Nancy & Ardry got here, the aircon unit in our spare bedroom stopped working. You need aircon out here! Not just for the heat, but also for the humidity. Plus, with 4 people sleeping in one tiny room, you need some cool air! Unfortunately, the replacement unit has to be ordered and shipped, which can take weeks! We freaked out a little, but thankfully we have an amazing landlord and she went out and bought a portable unit for the room. Thankfully it works great and everyone stayed cool during the night! 

Anyways, we kept busy and made sure to show Nancy & Ardry a good time while they were here. The girls were so excited to have their Maga (grandma) and Aunty Ardry here! We went to Ypao Beach, Gab Gab Beach, drove around the island, shopped at Chamorro village, swam at the Hyatt (twice!) and swam at Nikko. We also took them to eat at a few of our favorite places. We went to Ban Thai, Pika's, Asan Sunset Grill & Chamorro Island BBQ. It was busy and flew by, but it was so good to visit and we miss them already. Here's a few photos from their time here!

father's day part 2

one of the photos I took for George

George was lucky enough this year to have both of his girls on Father's Day. We were also lucky to have his mom and sister visiting as well. For Father's Day we got George the new golf bag he's been wanting and I also took some photos of the girls for him. 

We spent the day at the pool at the Hyatt swimming and relaxing. We had a lot of fun just playing in the water, going down the water slide and watching the fire dancers at the end of the night. As the pool was closing we went down to the beach and watched the sunset. Right after the sun went down, two guys rowed up on an outrigger. We were standing next to them and they pointed out a small nurse shark in the shallow waters. One of them caught it and the girls got to pet a real shark. They were soooo excited and are still talking about it. Here's a recap of the day in pictures!
