December Days

Rota Walk . . . a tropical Christmas tradition here on the base. Homes on Rota Drive decorate like crazy and pass out goodies. Merry Christmas from Guam!

Beautiful sunset at Tumon Bay

The famous candy drop from a C-130 during Rota Walk!

Freckle Juice book report - brings back memories :-) Book by Judy Blume

Gavin at Univ. of Guam - playing after picnic lunch & planetarium & art gallery

Brooke at a field trip to Gef Pa'go . . . yes, Gavin was just there on a field trip a few weeks ago; however, Brooke enjoyed the tug o' war game which Gavin's class didn't get to do :-)

Soccer game at a local high school - you can see Two Lover's Point in the background, which overlooks Tumon Bay.

The view (sunrise) as Kayle heads out the door to catch the bus in the morning!

Study Trip for Gavin's class to Gef Pa'go

Here is Gavin on his first field trip of first grade - it's called "study trip" - guess field trip sounded too fun :-) Anyway, the kids got to see how life was here on the island many years ago, you know before electricity ... a carabao (aka water buffalo - think of the song from Veggie Tales), weaving from coconut leaves, making rope, an old house with bug netting around the beds (and no mattress either), coconout husking & grating and coconut candy, and how sea salt was made (tasty!)
