A Very Memorable Fathers Day for Douglas !

I was really relieved this year that Douglas had Trinity with him for Father's Day.  This is his second Father's Day in El Salvador. They had a great day together, but incredibly memorable! When I was speaking with Douglas he told me that he had decided to go to bed early that night as things always happen in three's right?

First thing that happened was he almost drowned in the Pacific.  They went to a different part of the ocean where there are tidepools and caves.  Now, swimming in the rough El Salvadoran coast is a very big concern for me - many phone lecture/warnings have proceeded Trinity flying down there. Apparently, they were being pulled into this tide pool.  Douglas threw Trinity to the shore area; she got scratched by the rocks on her tummy and apparently while Douglas was then trying to get to shore, she kept thinking that her Daddy was going to die on Father's Day! He managed to get to shore. 

The second thing that happened was that Douglas was stung by a scorpion! Ya, panicville. Where is the closest medical clinic??? Oh, only 1/2 an hour away in San Salvador.  His hand flared up for a bit, but it was okay later on as the evening went on. So, this past week has been filled with bats landing on the kitchen counters, poisonous cane toads under the chairs, scorpions running around on the kitchen floor and huge bugs flying everywhere. Hence, why he decided it would be safer to go to bed early! (But, hey, at least he has Trinity and a great ocean view!)
