Mom and Dad, Spring Break, What could be better?

On Thursday Morning, at 1:20 a.m. Mark and I made a quick little drive to the Saipan International Airport and waiting for us (because they came in early) were my mom and dad! After saying hello after 8 months we got them tucked away into their cooled down air conditioned room and we all went to sleep.

On Thursday and Friday, Mom and Dad got the opportunity to join both Mark and I in our classrooms, meet our kiddo's, and see what we do everyday. My third graders really enjoyed having them in our classroom... they loved them! Also, on Thursday evening, we also introduced them to the Thursday Night Street Market.... So good grub can be found there!

Friday Night We spent the evening at two of our favorite places, the Hyatt Hotel for Happy hour at sunset on the beach, and the Thai house for dinner... plans have been made to repeat this evening next Friday night! =).

Saturday we spent the morning at a local produce market, lunch at Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant, learning about Saipan's history with WWII, seeing Suicide Cliff and then ending the afternoon with snorkeling at Pau Pau beach.... It was a great day!

Today, we headed to church in the a.m., lunch with some of our church family at a Chinese Restaurant called Poons, and the afternoon at Lau Lau bay, where dad and Mark snorkeled, and Tank Beach, where we did sea shell collecting.

It has been a busy 4 days, but we still have 1 week, so lots more to do!

I can't believe my parents are finally here. It has been so good to see them! And to think, we will be landing in Seattle in a month and a half! Time is going to fly!

Keep your eye's out for more fun time's of the Sawyers & Oliver's on Saipan!
