Every year the Guam Symphony holds a free Christmas Seaside Concert to the public at Ypao Beach Park. Since we were unable to attend last year we thought it would be nice to go this year. While it had been raining off and on all afternoon our decision to go was a good one. As soon as we arrived we found the Leftwich's and set up our chairs by them. Shortly afterwards the Cook's arrived, it was nice to enjoy an afternoon in the park around friends.The first hour started us off with a special group. The Air Force sent a musical group from Yokota AFB to sing a lot of Christmas Carols we all knew and few revised versions we have never heard of!
Much to every one's surprise, Santa arrived in his sleigh driven by one Caribou. He tossed lots of candy into the crowd and spread good Christmas Cheer! Then the Guam Symphony took the stage and delighted us with many beautiful musical tunes.
Of course it wouldn't be winter on Guam without rain!! But that was OK with everyone there, it actually made for a colorful sight! |

The rain made it fun! As a side note, we had brought two large umbrella's one of was 10-15 yrs old which we lent to Stephanie to help keep the two of them dry (she is VERY pregnant). The stupid umbrella wouldn't close! Stephanie and I got the biggest laugh watching two engineer's trying to close the umbrella!!

Definitely a fun afternoon. :-) Thanks for setting up camp next to us! (And for use of the umbrella.)
