dolphins and sunshine

Hello .... we are back. What a wonderful way to spend a holiday!! I feel so rejuvenated! The sunshine was such a treat. I will post more photos on my Flickr site later.
These dolphins were actually trained to "smile". I got picked from the audience to be part of the dolphin show and this picture is of them pushing me up along in the water. It was fun but I almost lost my trunks....now that would have been a show!!

The sunsets were amazing!

It's great to be home though too.

My sister. Happy Birthday Cor.

Its great to be 35!

lost one, gained one!

My sister-in-law got hired today with a law firm in Van. She will do her 1 year articling there. Then after that she (Brian, Kaitlin and baby Jaiden)will be tranfered to Port Alberni. (or they could chose to live in a surrounding community).
We are so excited! Some of her friends that graduated 1-2 years ago still haven't found a job yet.
They are so blessed.
Deb's probably thinking, "sure, now your coming".

Mexican Amigos!

Our waiters and waitress that spoiled us all week in the main Dining-Room. They were incredibly friendly and nice. Yes, there were a few tears on the last night.

Move over Michell. Dave found a good Mexican woman in Puerto Vallarta - hee haw Senorita!

Gilligan and his crew! No, we don't look like tourists - - - do we? A fun day in Mazatlan.

Aalysia coming in for a landing after her Parasailing excursion - doesn't she looked relaxed?
Aalysia, Emma, Kiara, Ella, Dave, Aaron, and Michelle all had a turn at Parasailing - and loved it!

Kiara was our shining star! She joined Paul Boland (a musical impressionist) on stage as he sang a song from "Kermit" the Frog. It was so sweet. After they were finished, Paul told Kiara she could have a Coke on him, then he turned to the audience and asked who was here with Kiara - that they could have a free drink as well. Everyone in the auditorium put their hands up!!

In Cabo, we rented three Mexicans to drive us around on their bikes for a half hour.
It was so much fun - the guys were really sweating! Here is Emma, Helle, and Amy.

Jake with his Senora and his three beautiful Senoritas! On our way to the first formal dinner evening.

Enjoying a 'small' margarita at PiPis. Mmmm good.


Aren't they beautiful. Who would have thought they could look that formal!!!


This is one of the tricks. The forks are resting on the toothpick. It looked really hard, but after giving it a try, a few of us were actually able to do it.


An example of one of our many delicious desserts.


The girls and our dining staff (Cheng, Carlos and Mercy). They were great and Carlos and Cheng always had great tricks to show the kids.
