COSTA RICA!!

For spring break, we took a trip to Costa Rica.  We have a cousin who lives there with his family. 
What an amazing, beautiful, and unforgettable vacation.  We did so much every single day, that the time flew by.  We arrived April 1st at night and left April 10th early in the morning. 
Augusto and Carla and their kids were one of the main reasons we had such a great time.  They are the perfect hosts.  Los queremos mucho y los extranamos mucho mas!!
 
Here is a quick look at all we did and the fun and beauty of this country.

There really isn't enough space for me to put all the amazing pictures that we took on this trip.  Nor will any picture do what we saw with our eyes, any justice.  All I can say to you, is, go visit Costa Rica.  It will be one of the most memorable and wonderful trips you will take.

Tia Adri and Samuel Visit

Over the weekend, we were lucky to have Adri and Samuel come visit us.  We had a fun time.  We watched the Cubs beat the White Sox in a spring training game.  We drove to Sedona for a Pink Jeep Tour, and went hiking all the way up to the top of Squaw Peak. 
Thank you Tia Adri and Samuel for spending the weekend with us!
We Love You!

Pooltime!!

Yep!  You are seeing the picture correctly.  Eva and Sofia ARE in our pool.  With the temps reaching 90 degrees today, they decided that it was time to open the pool for the season.  I won't be ready to jump in until June.  I need the water a little warmer.  But, as you can see, they don't.

Ostrich Festival

Today, we went to Ostrich Festival in Chandler, AZ.  It is a big carnival, that features ostrich races.  The ostrich races are funny and something we had never seen before.  We had a fun afternoon!
