Cabo Christmas - Part II

Our first full day in Cabo was filled with fun and sun!  McKinley's big Christmas present was to go and be a "trainer for a day" at the Dolphin Encounter.  She and I got to spend 5 hours at the aquarium learning all about the dolphins, swimming with them, training them, and feeding them.  It was an amazing experience that we will both remember for a long time.  We loved learning all about them and how they are trained and what they eat.  We were able to command the dolphins to do thing we wanted and swam under water and across the surface with them.  No cameras were allowed while we were there, but we did get these posed shots at the end.  It was a marvelous day!



While we were off with the dolphins, the boys were exploring the beach and the town.  They had a good time swimming and shopping and eating in town.  A fun relaxing day.

Christmas Eve dinner we had planned to eat at the beach at a restaraunt that had been highly recommended, but turns out, Christmas Eve is a big holiday and most of the restaraunts were closed.  We did find a smaller place on the beach that was open until 7pm, called Omego Bar and Grill and we had a nice meal there right on the beach.  It was a nice Chritmas Eve dinner, although we missed our traditional pancakes and sausage dinner we normally have.



After we got back it was Christmas Eve and we did all our traditional things...inlcuding Jammies for everyone (with lots of pictures...using a timer!) and read the real Christmas story from Luke 2.  Then we hunkered down for Santa to come while Dave and McKinley watched "It's a Wonderful Life" like they do every year!  Perfect Christmas Eve!
