Costa Rica Trip!!

We're home from our fun filled trip.....lots of exciting news to talk about.....We all had a great time! Kids did beautifully on all flights, such the seasoned little travelers. Not only on different flights but traveling all over the country...they were soo happy and well behaved...On one flight the business traveler behind me complimented the kids on how well they behaved, it's always nice to hear it from someone else....We are very lucky to have such great babies!!
Well the first part of our trip took us to Guanacaste which is the northwestern part of the country along the Pacific Ocean. Half that time was spent up near a volcano "Rincon de la Vieja" there my brother his fiance, Brent and I went to the hot springs. We went by horseback which was an adventure. There we pretty much just laid out, drank, and relaxed in the hot springs. The next day we did a canopy tour...which is basically putting your life in the hands of cables and you zip line across the tops of the trees, to enjoy the beautiful scenery, I didn't get to see much, but from what I heard it was an awesome view. The kids stayed with my parents and spent the two days at the pool they had a blast. They both LOVE the water.
After the third day we drove west and hit up "Playa Hermosa" which translated means beautiful beach and it was just that. It was a small little bay with not a lot of waves, just enough to enjoy the water. Brianna loved the ocean, the sand and everything that came along with it. Andrew HATED the ocean and the sand. He didn't want to get his feet dirty so he would pretty much just lounge in a beach chair until we took him to the pool....where he was the happiest. After two nights we went home, Brent left and then the kids and I went to Quepos to see Toto. There we just laid out on the beach or at the pool. Then back home to finish up our vacation. Needless to say we all had a great time. Time flew by and it was hard to come home.
BIG NEWS: Yes Alan is engaged to a great girl from Australia, she was tons of fun and the kids loved her. Andrew is FULLY potty trained and talking like crazy. He actually potty trained himself. One day he decided no more diapers and that's been it since. Our sweet Brianna has developed into a little flirt, she gives her "pretty eyes" to all the guys. It is too cute!! Drives Brent crazy but I love it!!
Well that about sums up our spring break....Enjoy the photos!!!
