It's All Fun And Games Until Someone Ends Up In A Cone

We finally got our pictures from zip linig, so here are a few...

Just before we took flight

Weeee!!!

Another amazing week in Cabo! Most of our days were spent doing the usual...breakfast and playing with the children at the Center, walking dogs at the Humane Society, and taking the men at the church in San Jose lunch. At the beginning of last week we took Lila back to the Humane Society to be spayed. After we picked her up we came home and she went straight to her crate where she stayed for most of the day. That night when we took her out to go to the bathroom we realized she had pulled all her stitches out and the incision was wide open. We rushed her to Cabo pets(emergency clinic) and they stitched her back up. The next morning when we picked her up she was feeling much better, but also quite annoyed because she had been coned! 

Poor Baby

On Thursday for Thanksgiving we drove to Todos Santos. I'ts a little town about 45 minutes from Cabo. We walked around the town and had lunch at the Hotel California...chile rellenos stuffed with shrimp and lobster and marlin quesadillas with pineapple salsa...not the usual Thanksgiving meal, but it was really good. We stopped at Cerritos beach (a big surf spot) on our way home and we saw a gorgeous rainbow as we were leaving.

We also had to get another rental car...I believe we our now on our fifth. Someone backed into the front of the other one. We now have a Nissan Tsuru. She has a nice little giddy up and go if you really put the petal to the metal. Jen has named her the little trojan that could.

Saturday afternoon we went with Donna to Caribe(one of the barrios in Cabo) to serve food. Every Saturday in Caribe some of the children from the orphanage in La Paz(a town 2 hours from Cabo) come with the Pastor/director of the orphanage to have fellowship with a sister organization here. Donna provides them with the food so we took 200 sandwiches for the people to eat. They have praise and worship at the beginning followed by a short message. The music is really loud so it draws many people in the area. We fell in love with some of the little boys from the orphanage. I let one of them hold my camera and he took pictures the whole time. He would run over and show us the picture he took, give us a hug and then run off to take another. Before we left we saw another rainbow. I have seen more rainbows in Cabo in the last 2 months then I think I have my whole life.

We have been wrapping christmas gifts every spare moment we get. We finished doing most of the children's gifts and have started working on the mom's gift bags. Most of them are filled with basic necessities...toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap. We have some jewelry, lotions, and nail polish to put in some of them, but not enough for all. We also are filling 1,000 bags of candy to distribute in the barrios for christmas...200 down 800 more to go!
