Misc. Holidays

This is Ella performing on stage during her first dance recital. She is in full makeup and everything. She did a great job.

On Christmas Eve we went to Sea World with some friends. We had our picture taken with Scuba Santa. It would be pretty cool to do a little Scuba work on the side at Sea World. The divers clean the tanks, feed the fish and participate in the diver shows.

On New Year's Eve we drove down to the beach on North Padre Island. We stayed at a nice, and not too expensive, hotel on the beach. Here, Ella is learning, from the master, how to look for the best shells. Ella is still in the Grab-Anything-Calcified stage of beachcombing. She is learning though.

On New Year's Day, (welcome to 2008!) we went to the Texas State Acquarium in Corpus Christi. They have a really great dolphin tank where you can go down below and watch them swim by the giant glass window. Very cool.

That is one lonely looking rhino. Buck up, little camper. You gotta get those horns back in the air to impress the ladies.
