Stephen arrived in Saipan!!! Then, about 6 hours later, Aaron arrived!! We are very excited to have them here with us. A few more days and Mike, Emily, and Andrew will be here too...we can't wait!

Jeanette, Heather, and Cindy all got pedicures. That was a fun day, once we found the shop we were looking for. We got manicures, too but I didn't take pictures of that. Don't our toes look lovely!!!

We went to Tank Beach, where there are tons of hermit crabs. This one is a teeny-tiny guy. It was fun to let them crawl around in our hands. They tickle! They move pretty fast, too.


Here is Jeanette, Heather, and Cindy at the Garapan Street Market being "Saipandas", riding on a banana boat! The Saipanda is the weird little mascot of Saipan. Don't ask what the nose is all about!



Today we went up to the top of Mt. Topachau, the highest point on the island. You can see the entire island from up there! You can also see the island of Tinian, which is about 3 miles south. You can't see it in the picture but it is behind us. In the picture...Stephen, Jeanette, Cindy, aaron, and Heather.
