For those of you thinking that our chaotic world means that Hell is about to freeze over, I have bad news. Darryl was seen in a public venue (not the beach) in shorts and flip flops.
A sure sign the end is near.
For those of you who don't know Darryl that well, sorry if I scared you. :-) But you must understand that our eldest daughters were in their 20's before they ever saw their dad wear anything but Work Boots, Cowboy boots or Ropers. For the last 8 months as we drive to church our route takes us past the Delfinario de Sonora. It is a Dolphin Center where they do rehabilitation for handicapped adults and children using dolphin therapy. Just think hippotherapy with water.
During the week the therapy is the main purpose of the Delfinario, but on Saturdays and Sundays they put on dolphin and Sea Lion shows. FYI , in Spanish a seal lion is called Lobos Marinos or Sea wolf.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After 8 months we decided it was time to go see what goes on at the Delfinario.
First we went to the Sea Lion show where the trainer and a clown put 3 seals through a routine of amazing tricks. I will only post one of the 100 pictures we took there.
Then it was on to the dolphin show where the trainers put the 6 dolphins through a great routine. Dolphins are amazing animals and are so fun to watch.
But the best part of the morning was the surprise Darryl bought me. I spent an hour after the dolphin show swimming and playing in the water with a female dolphin named Childra. It was so wonderful I can't explain how much fun I had. Darryl took 100's of pictures and a few videos I will try to post later.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
She gave me a ride, but I just accidently deleted the picture from this post, soI will post it later with the videos,...... then she gave me a kiss.
And we played both in the shallow water and in the deep.
The life jacket is mandatory no matter how well you swim. Oh well, I loved it and I know why Skye wants to be a dolphin trainer. I want to be one too when I grow up.
Saturday Evening we went to a birthday party for our little Primary friend Sonia. She wanted to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and her parents saved for a long time to buy this dress and have this party for her.
It was quite festive!
Our friend Glinda, who lives across the street from Sonia came over to be the clown. About 40 children from the neighborhood came to the party.
This sweet little girl was wearing a dress and matching headband that her mother crocheted for her. I thought Cami would really like to see it!

The pinata just before they turned the kids loose with the stick.
They sing a little verse and the kids can hit the pinata as many times as they want until the verse is finished, then the next child takes a whack at it.
Darryl had to rescue this little one who kept wandering into the path of the pinata stick. She sat with him for about 15 minutes after the pinata was busted before she decided she wanted down.
Sonia's mom, dad and little brother, Ernesto. Her little sister Ana was too busy for the picture.
QUEREMOS LA PASTEL!!
Elder Bonney and Elder Ramirez came by for a few minutes.
It was a fun evening for everyone!
Feliz Cumplianos Sonia!!
