October - Out and about

It's been pretty busy of late. Scott is the only Navy guy on island at the moment so in a way life is great but very busy to go along with it. As was the plan when we decided to come and live on a remote island in the Pacific, we have been spending heaps of time with the kids just having fun and watching them grow up quickly right in front of our eyes.

Tennis practise for Jaxon continues sporadically. In between the rain, snorkeling, the pool, Super Mario with Daddy, the play ground, riding bikes and playing cars, tennis seems to have taken a back seat.

Scott tried to get Jaxon into some hand-eye coordination things but he would rather watch than have a go at the moment. Heaps of time....

Heart Breaker. Looking online for shotguns already.

After the rain comes the sun and the flowers in our compound come to life.

More often than not we have a floral arrangement on the dining table.

Who would have though ginger would look so good.

Great colours. We spend hours with the kids just walking through the compound with the kids watching nature at it's best.

More bloody flowers I know.

Last one. We will miss the tropical flowers when we come home.

Indi and Nic get the mornings together while Jaxon is at school. Indi is only to keen to help with the cooking of cakes and muffins. She especially likes cleaning the bowl and spoon......

On an African Safari looking for elephants, lions, cheetas, rinos, hippos.......

Best of mates. One of the upsides of being confined to the compound most of the time is that they have learned to play together very well. Most of the time.....

One evening after a kid's playgroup we broke out the marshmellows. It's very hard to light a fire in the second wettest place on earth, but we got there eventually.

Out for dinner at the revamp Pohnpei Surf Club. They are finally at the age where they can keep themselves entertained while we wait for the meals to arrive.

Awesome desert at the Surf Club. Meals in the local resteraunts are certainly improving heaps compared to when we first arrived.

The local people are beautiful. Jaxon and Indi went to check on the kitchen and wait staff, just making sure they where happy.

Now that's a locomotion. Everyone gets a ride. Tickets Please.

Where are those bloody kids now? Where is all that laughing coming from?????? Playing well together once again.

Nic's face painting kit finally arrived via amazon.

Sorry for bundling it all together, spare time in front of a computer is rare (Nic has the kids at the cinema watching The Smurfs which was given me enough time to get this one done).
