Last hockey game

Last night was the last hockey game of the season for me. I was on the Sharks (San Jose Sharks logo).
So I made a shark to give us inspiration to win. And win we did. Unfortunately, it was to determine who ended up in last place. So with the win we were 2nd last. Woo Hoo!!!
After the game I took the shark to the bar for some liquid refreshments. He was a real hit with the ladies. I forgot to take my camera though.
By the way that's a hockey stick in his mouth, like on the logo. (People kept asking me. No imagination!!)

My vacation

A couple of weeks ago my wife & I went on vacation to a lovely small resort in Dominican Republic near Porta Plata. We had a wonderful time escaping the "harsh" Canadian winter. And of course, I had to take my balloons with me. The 1st night we met some newlyweds in the bar:
She was pleased with her hitch hiker balloon.
We went on an excursion to "Monkey Jungle and Zip Line Adventure" My little red dog thought the zip line was a hoot!!
And I made a monkey for the owner of "Monkey Jungle". He is a philanthropist who provides free dental work to the people of DR. There is a dental clinic on site. It is paid for by the admission fees to the "Monkey Jungle" & "Zip Line Adventure"
Our waiter asked for some balloons for his 3 kids. After I made them I asked how old the kids were. I expected he had young children, but he told me they were 17, 15 & 11 years old. Funny how people of all ages enjoy balloons.
We had a very relaxing week in the sun. Good fun, good food & good service. But finally it was time for my little red dog to say good bye to the wait staff.
Until next time....
