I have to admit, I am taking these pictures and the script from Noelle's blog. I wasn't able to go to Costa Rica with Aysia, so I am posting from what Noelle so graciously wrote! Thanks for caring for Aysia and letting her have an experience of a lifetime! We miss you Noelle and Janson and cousins!!!
We had a pretty busy week to say the least. We hiked volcanoes, visited
the zoo, went to the one and only amusement park in Costa Rica (and it is $8
per person!), saw the biggest ox cart in the world, and had a couple
celebrations along the way. By the middle of it all, everyone just wanted to
hang out in the hammocks and not go anywhere. Ha ha ha!
We hiked to
Volcan Poas! And yes, this is the second time we have used our jackets here.
Ironically, it gets pretty chilly on the volcanoes!
The
suspension bridges in Monte Verde were pretty incredible. The longest one
we crossed was close to 1,000 feet. There was a mist around us constantly
because of the heavy cloud coverage.
FYI: There are
over 1400 species of Lilacs here!
Lacee had "the awesomest birthday EVER!" And I have to
admit, we all loved it as well.
During her trip here, Aysia got sick. (Probably
from seeing the blast out...) She was such a trooper! She had a fever of 103, a
sore throat and hurt ears...and she still smiled through it all. This was us
waiting at the doctor's office for her antibiotics.
24 hours later she was ready to go again!
Lacee's Baptism
Payton and Makai's Blessing Day
Lacee,
Traycen, Aysia, and their friend, Emma, all decided that they wanted to earn
money for poor people. They went on a mission to collect rocks and leaves, then
they painted them all, then they sold them...every last one.
They pulled
our kitchen table outside and set up their business as all of the students were
making their way home from school. Every time we drive downtown and see
"poor people", the kids pull out their money bag and give them a
coin.
SWIMMING IN JANUARY!
