Milton was a squid and Owen was sporting a blue tuxedo. The tuxedo is technically from the movie Dumb & Dumber, but all that Owen cared about was the top hat and looking super spiffy. Damon sported his expected Forest Gump. I was going to wear my Miss Frizzle dress but a seam at the back totally ripped out! Sewing it back together would have made it too tight for me to squeeze in to. I will have to order a new one for next year a size up. I was able to break out my pumpkin sweater that worked out well. It is just so strange going out trick or treating and getting excessively hot. Owen only made it a few streets and wanted to head home and then Milton took off his costume entirely. The boys didn't quite get the concept of getting as much candy as possible so we don't have all that much. It was fun seeing so many of my students walking around. It seems that the 6th grade has a booming population in Lockwood. We went around with our neighbors Amanda and Andy with Chuck which always makes Halloween more fun. A cool thing making a Guam halloween unique was that there was an amazing rainbow. We also did a Truck or Treat at the church and another one at the fitness center on base. The one at the fitness center had a haunted house too which the boys did well with. Ileene got the boys adorable ceramic pumpkins with their name which Milton managed to break his pumpkin the day after getting it. Another fun thing that Milton got to do was wear a costume to school with a poster representing a letter. He wore his fireman jacket and made a poster with the letter F. Kindergarten did a parade around the school which I didn't find out about until it was already over which was a bummer. Thankfully Milton's teacher took a picture of Milton sporting his costume with Owen.

Fish Eye Marine Park
The Fish Eye Marine Park has a super cool underwater observatory next to Asan Point. The observatory goes down 30 feet and has feeder things to attract fish and sharks. We saw three black-tip sharks and several other fishes that the observatory was kind enough to have identification posters next to all the windows. We went snorkeling around there a while ago and the fish are plentiful. The observatory is in a natural hole called the Piti Bomb Holes. The holes are freshwater percolation pits where freshwater filters into the shallow lagoon at a depth of 25 to 30 feet (as per Wikipedia). Our first visit was on March 20, 2022. We went again on October 10, 2022.
Tsubaki Towers 2022
Tsubaki Towers is another pool pass with the PHR membership. It wasn't all that interesting for the boys with only one pool and a shallow pool. The water was kinda cold too so I didn't get in. Rained a bit but not too much. It was a fun morning.

Underwater World
Underwater World is an aquarium in Tamuning. It is in a tunnel so when walking through the fish will swim over top. Its really cool. There are several turtles and sharks. We found a fish bigger than Milton. Owen was super brave to try out the diving suit and swim with fish and sharks. As he got deeper the pressure hurt his ears so he came back up. The divers with him were really kind and helped him get back out of the water. Milton was pretty excited to get a new stuffed animal squid.
