Ohhhh Saturday......what a day. They say for every yin there is a yang, for every action there is an equal reaction. We had all that today.
Zack woke up in the middle of the night unhappy with his ear..... Hmmmmm I lay there in bed thinking and descided that we need to see a doctor in the morning. After all if he does have an ear infection we cannot fly home till it's clean. So I called Steve, the Rio Holiday owner and he got Marina, our hospitality manager todrive Zack and I to the clinic. Zack, as you can immagine was not pleased!We gritted his teeth and punched and actually considered heading for the door at the clinic, but I do believe fear of what was out the door was worse than who would be behind the door of the waiting room. Well, the Brazillian version of Mcsteamy was our young docotor, but the room was right from Chineese torture stories. No bed or cot, just a metal chair with an orb to hold your head....AND Dr Mcsteamy sports one of those round mirrors on his head like a head lamp! Well.... You all who know Zack know his pain, he was shaking, crying, threataning and I hadtogrip him with all my might so that mcsteamy could look in the ear. Phew.... that was awful. The skin in his outer ear is infected, and he gave us an antibiotic hydrocortozone prescription and told us Zack can't swim for a week!!!!! Poor Zack (and it only gets worse tomorrow.) We got the script and a big stash of candy and went home to watch movies, eat pizza and breath.
Well on the other hand.... Saturday night is Sambodrome, we have tickets and it only happens three times a year. We had planned an English speaking sitter, but there was no way I was going to leave Zack. Betsy graciously announced that she would stay, she has had many
amazing adventures and did not want me to miss Sambodorome. THANK YOU!! She and the kids were great and all was well with Zack in the evening.
So, after a quick shower and change we are off to Sambadrome, The show must go on, and it did. I can little in words tell you about it, all I can say is we think we know shows, sparkle, pizazz, showmanship....... This was unreal! Including a float catching fire, but that did not stop the samba, they putitout and the parade w
ent on!
Sunday we are off to the Hippie Fair and Soccer Game.
XXOO
more photos later I promise they take a while to load.

Oh I'm so terrribly sorry!!!!! Poor darling. How very brave he (and mummy) were. I hope the meds are kicking in and he's feeling better. To make it easier on him you may want to keep the pool off limits for everyone for a while. The last thing you need is for Kaylacoo, (or anyone else for that matter) to get an infection.
What a trouper Betsy is! Sounds like you had a great time. The photos are great and I adore Kaylacoo's hat! (the pose is pretty amazing also.)
I'll be interested to hear your comments on the soccer game.
We're barely keeping above freezing!! Snow on the way for tomorrow (nothing huge, 2" or so and probably a mix on the Cape.)
Big hugs and kisses to all and tell Zackaloo Nini and Paw think he is the bravest of all!
