Our time spent with my dad in Guam, at his condo, etc!


These pictures of my dad and my boys, were taken at the Micronesia shopping mall, the first day we got there! We arrived at the airport, my dad picked us up, we went back to dad's condo and dropped off our luggage. I changed clothes and so did the kids and then we went to the mall here, to have lunch. My dad, looking on as Branden takes a sip of his drink, ha ha ha. : )


Both the boys wanted to eat Burger King for lunch. Here's Noah, pulling the pickle out in this pic, he dislikes pickles in his cheeseburgers. Ha ha ha.



This is the aftermath of my lunch, I choose Taco Bell. So many choices of things to eat in Guam, all the things I've missed! : )

Noah back at grandpa's condo. My dad has a gorgeous place. I shoulda took more pictures. He has this killer view, in his living room. Floor to ceiling windows, the view is spectacular. I would watch out that window and see coconut trees and other various types of palm trees. The views is really breathtaking! Two bedroom condo, the rooms are giant sized. My guess would be about a 20 tatami sized bedrooms, and that's each room. But obviously he has no tatami, lol, but it helps give an idea at least. But about that size. Huge bedrooms. Big kitchen with huge counter space. Just a really swell place, my dad lives.


One of the nights at my dad's place we had pizza. The 4 of us watched, "Are you smarter then a 5th grader". We had a lot of fun!


Noah, getting ready to go for another swim at grandpa's pool! At my dad's condo, they have 2 pools. One for adults and one is a kids pool.


Goggles on boys... check!, now let's go!



Boy was my dad happy to have his 2 grandsons to pal around with! The kids kept grandpa on his toes! Ha ha ha! : )


Branden uses these type of kickboards at his swim school. So, he's used to these. This is his, we bring it with us, whenever we head to Guam or Hawaii.


I can see Branden under the water in this pic! Go my little fish, go!!! Ha ha ha! : )


Ride that board Noah-chan! Ha ha ha! : )


Go B, I see you! : )

Canon balls, anyone? Go Branden and make the biggest splash you can! he he he!


Jump!


Whatta splash!


Baby canon ball! Ha ha ha!!! Go Noah!


What a good jump, Noah! : )


Man B, this jump is so big, so large, you look like you are pulling, a Matrix type move!!! Ha ha ha Way to go kiddo! : )


And after days of fun at grandpa's place, it was an early Saturday afternoon and before we knew it, it was time to pick up Noboru. Here's the airport! American flag and Guam flag waving in the breeze. The average temp, while we were there was 85-89 degrees F. It never got below 85F, not even at night. The weather was so nice.


At the airport, while waiting, we looked at the pictures of the soldiers who have died in the war. It was sad to see all the pictures, read their names and to see where they were from and such. Personally, I thought this war was something we shouldn't have gotten into in the first place. So, for me, it was a sad thing to see their faces. They were all so young, just kids really! Anyway, we waited for the hubby and waited around the airport some, that's all! : ) And a good couple first days, spent with grandpa! : )
