Costa Rica

We were so thankful to be able to go back to Costa Rica this summer (last summer was just way too busy). We went for a week in July and had a nice, relaxing vacation. This trip was ten times better than the one two years ago, mainly because the twins were older. Our days pretty much went like this: walk on the beach, breakfast, swimming at the condo, lunch, nap, go down to the beach club and swim, dinner, bed. The kids LOVED the beach and swimming. They were in a great mood pretty much the whole time, which made everyone else in a good mood too. :) We (Kyle, twins, Carter, and myself) stayed in my mother-in-law's condo, while she rented another condo across the pool for her, Nikki, David, little Lincoln, and her best friend Vicki stayed. It was really nice having our "own space". One day Kyle, Carter, and David went fishing and David caught a big Wahoo...which we made into fish tacos and fresh ceviche...delicious! Another day we had a "girls trip" (minus Presley) where we went on a catamaran to a remote beach and snorkeled/swam, then came back and watched the sunset as we cruised. It was breathtaking! We saw a group of dolphins and they swam right up next to the boat. Between the endless supply of well-made drinks, the freshly made guacamole, and the wonderful company...it was an amazing time!
