On Saturday we spend the afternoon at Waikiki. This the most popular tourist beach on the island. We went to the military hotel called the Hale Koa which offers the public beach, and private military pools and restaurants. The kids liked the beach okay but the tide was pretty strong since we went in the late afternoon. Swimming only a few feet away from us was a very large sea turtle. We got him on video and will try to post it later. We also played in the pool which both Isaiah and Katie really enjoyed. We are lucky that they both seem to love the water. One picture is Michael showing whose float it really is!!! On our way out of the hotel, we stopped to listen to some local musicians and the kids broke out dancing! We got many laughs over their rhythm!
Today we found out that we got a house on post!! Thank you Lord and thank you all for your prayers!!! We will be able to move in on Thursday after an inspection on Wednesday. Since we do not have our household goods yet (and it looks like it will be a while) they have kind of a loaner closet. Basically they furnish you with furniture, kitchen supplies, beds, and a washer and dryer (can I get an AMEN on that one) until your household goods arive. So it wont be our stuff but at least we can move into a house and be on post!! There are many advantages to being on post and we are looking forward to those, including being within walking distance to the pool!!!
I wanted to add one quick little update on our little ones...Isaiah's favorite phrase right now is "What was I saying?" I have no idea where he got that but he says it all the time. Katie's favorite phrase is "Bopp it, Zayah"(Stop it, Isaiah), but she says it in a really deep grunt when she is not getting her way. We will keep you posted as they pick up new things everyday. We are waiting for Aloha and Shaka!
