Pictures of Paradise

A couple of teasers, so you can see where we were this past week. It was truly a beautiful vacation! Playa Del Carmen was amazing and not far from there, I found my dream spot in Akumal, a tiny village where we could snorkle to the reef and watch tropical fish, play with sea tortoises, and swim as far out in the ocean as we wanted without having to worry about undertoe! One of the pictures is of the cenote - an underground river in a cave, it looks like there is a lot of trash, but the water is actually crystal clear, the "trash" is actually minerals that are invisible except in pictures. I can't imagine how heaven could possibly be more beautiful than where we were!!! It was beyond anything I could have ever imagined!!!

Donkey Skateboard

I'm pretty sure my little donkey stories are getting pretty nauseating! But what can I do, MiHijo delights me in so many ways! He's always into something! In the post, Let's Go Do Something, below, I put a picture of MiHijo standing on a flat bed trailer that was hooked up to the pickup. Well that flat bed got unhitched, and Teryn parked it in line with the other trailers and put the tongue up on a block. When Teryn got home today he noticed that the trailer had rolled about 100 feet and had stopped in a small ditch. MiHijo had some road rash on his hind legs. When we put two and two together, it was pretty obvious that MiHijo was on the trailer, dislodged the block, and went skateboarding. Oh, if only I could have seen it. We'll see if MiHijo keeps spending his free time on the trailer!

Donkey Meeting

We had a Donkey Meeting today! The County Agent did a demonstration on equine safety, we had a costume parade, and finished with a discussion about what types of activities we wanted to do. There were 13 people there, but only three donkeys this time. The picture was taken at the end of the donkey costume parade. Pictured are: Heidi and baby Pumpkin. You may not be able to tell, but Pumpkin is wearing her tiara and a fuzzy scarf (can't think what it's called right now). MiHijo and I are next in line, we are dressed like Mexican peasants - in observance of Cinco de Mayo - check out his jerry-rigged pack saddle!!! Last in line is Pepper and Linda, he's dressed up in his spots!!! Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and the others who attended said they'd be sure to bring their donkeys next time!!!
