(If you recognize either of the children in the following pictures you should be disturbed, or giggle…at your discretion.) It’s not all fun and games at our house. No- there’s character building. And how do we do that soldiers? Hauling rocks is how! Fortunately we grow rocks where we live. So when the troops get whiny, the troops haul rocks. I’m not sure how that’s connected to building character, because so far it seems to be connected to making ALOT more whining. And alot of coming in and out of the house, with various ailments and owies. But the rocks are moving, slowly, with a relaxed precision as to their intended destination. And the character building? Oh, sure- our little actors are honing their skills every time we send them out there. The drama and the comedy just keep getting better and better. We’ve started pulling seats up to the window with popcorn and soda. Yep the ‘characters’ just keep getting better and bet… oh well, as to the point of actual character building, hmmmm, we’ll get back to you at the end of the next show on that one.

Dancin’ with da fishes at Sea World

What a flippin’ blast this was! Jacob, 7, and Me- the mom, got to hang out with a common grey dolphin. Nothing common about our experience I assure you! First of all, San Diego is great. Sea World was soooo much fun- I’ve never been in the summer time, however February is a perfectly comfortable time of year to visit. Arriving from Idaho, we were happy to shuck our winter coats for a week of 60′ temps!

We signed up to be dolphin ‘trainers’. Boy did we get lucky. After taking a 30 minute class to learn about dolphin anatomy, behavior and the rules of the dolphins enclosure, we were the only two people in the water with our dolphin (besides the actual trainer) for almost an entire hour! Other than freezing my ass, off that was such a cool thing to do with my son!

Oh yea- dolphins aren’t fish, by the way, they are mammals. http://seaworld.com
