Our first visitors!

The Bleaks came to visit us from Cedar City this past week. We had a lot of fun with them. We picked them up from the Airport on Wed night their flight came in at 8:20pm. We pulled up outside the baggage claim and waited for awhile, they lost their bags. The kids and I went in and let them know that we were there, the kids came and got in the Pathfinder with our kids and as you can imagine they had so much fun! We kept waiting for Mike and Amy, they found three of their bags, but Mikes was still lost. Jarod told them we would go home and get the kids in bed and they went to get their rental car. That is when our problem started, Jarod went to start the Pathfinder and the battery was dead! We had only left the car on for over an hour with the lights on, and the GPS unit, and the Nintendo plugged into charge. What were We thinking? So Jarod asked the TSA dude if he could help us(everyone who knows TSA people knows that was a waste of time). Finally a Police Officer drove by, Jaord flagged him down He told the Officer that the kids left the key on, OK whatever! He had to go find jumper cables, when He came back He jumped us and it was homeward bound.
Thursday We had to go to My favorite place Costco to buy Mike new clothes they told him that they had no idea where his bag was. After that it was time to pick up Davis from school. Then I took they Boys to the Ocean where we lived in a hotel for ever while I went to my Ultrasound with Amy. Jarod had to go to another Island for work so we missed him that night and Friday.
On Friday Davis went to school while Mike and Amy took their boys and Blake to the Dole Plantation. I got to go to my doc by myself, I picked up Davis from school and waited for the Bleaks to come home from driving around the Island. We picked up Jarod from the airport and went to diner at Big Kahunas Pizza then we came home to play Phase 10, the kids watched Indiana Jones.
Saturday Davis had a baseball game at 9:00 am, after that we went to the Flee market Blake got lost, We finally found him We were all so scared, Davis kept saying Blake is gone forever. Jarod ran one way Amy went the other and Mike went to the parking lot. I stayed where we last saw him. A lady saw him and asked him where his mom was he said he didn't know, so she made him sit there and wait, Jarod ran around the corner a couple minutes later. Then we went to the beach on the other side of the Island the sand was awesome the kids played and we all had fun. We found a really good Mexican place to eat at, it was the best food Jarod and I have had since we have been here.
Sunday we skipped Church and went to Pearl Harbor. It was awesome, one of the coolest things about this place. You watch a movie before you take a boat out to the USS Arizona, after the movie Davis told Brock and Kason that their sister would have loved it (she is 8 months old). We went to the USS Arizona and then took a bus to the USS Missouri where we walked around the ship it was awesome. It retired in 1991 and they still have everything inside. when Brock saw the TVs and computers he asked what they were, when we told him he didn't believe us. We also walked around the International Market Place.
Monday we went to the Beach again the kids had a good time, Kason and Brock got to snorkel and saw some cool fish. Blake and Davis got cut on the Coral. We came home, Davis had Baseball practice and the Bleaks went back to the International Market Place. Then the Bleaks had to go catch their plane to go home. Our kids cried, it broke our hearts. Davis said now I don't have any friends again. It is hard to see your kids hurt like that, Jarod wonders if we made the right choice by making this move, I told him that we did and the kids will be fine when they get back to their routine. Thanks for coming to visit us Mike, Amy and Boys we had so much fun with you!

Isn't it fun to have visitors and you can show all the things you love about living there? That's so sad about your boys, but it will be the best experience they will have. I wouldn't have my life any other way. I love that we got to move every couple of years growing up and experience new things and different cultures. They will love it too.

We missed you Sunday! I knew you had guests, so I figured it was that. It is so hard on the kids. My girls still don't have that "real" friend. We get together with the Kai family a lot and our kids get along great, but their girls have other friends that they specifically have over for sleep-overs and fun stuff. I can't wait to move back home and feel "normal" again!
