Lovin Hawaii & missin Guam!

Sharks, sharks and more sharks. Nate, Drew and Scott promptly made it to North Shore Shark Adventures on Hawaii's North Shore. The sharks went crazy over the fish pieces being thrown into the water, 3 miles off-shore, mind you. Drew said, "I was so scared seeing the shark fins that I almost cried before I had to get into the cage!" It was an excellent adventure to say the least.
Here is Lily with one of her favorite foods...crab legs, thanks Mima! Red Lobster was great, but Lily was more interested in moving her food.
Here we all are at the famous Matsumoto's Grocery Store for the shave ice. It was excellent with ice cream inside and covered with sweetened condensed milk. Lily kept track of whose turn it was, Mommy, Daddy, Lily, Mommy, Daddy, Lily, Mommy, Lily, Lily, Lily!
Mom and Dad surprised their grandkids by flying out to Honolulu a few days early. The boys and Lily were definitely surprised by them at the airport. Everyone got a Lei upon arrival; thanks Mom and Dad.
We already miss our friends in Guam and the laid back lifestyle. We are excited about the adventure ahead, but nervous about finding a home and new van. We are sure everything will be fine as we have prayed a ton. Thanks to Guam for such a great sendoff. We miss you all so much.
D. C. lookout, here come the O's!!!

Hafa Adai Olech's,

Love the pictures! Thank you for sending them. We sure do miss you all too! It will be strange not to see you all and Father T. at Mass today. Still bum and having a hard time accepting that you all have left Guam. Keep us in touch. That shark hole would have made me nervous too. The shave ice looked and sounded yummy. Take care and God Bless.

Wow! That shark cage sounds amazing! Way to go Boys! Glad to see you guys are having fun! We miss you--Maya keeps walking over to your door to knock, and Analia keeps asking if we can ask Miss Jean to jump...it'll take a while, but I'm feeling the pangs of you guys leaving! Thanks for the post. Have an awesome time and I'll look for updates as you get to the states.
