Surf Action

Back to Costa Rica posts (I'm getting closer to getting all our pictures cataloged)...My blog is essentially our family scrapbook/photo album so if I don't document here it doesn't get documented. These weren't actually taken by me for a change!

(Surf action pictures)

Getting our instructions

The observer - so cute!


We're off!!

It seems so much easier for the little ones

Up and going

G'pa S - a total surf dude!

The falling pictures of all of us are the BEST!!

this much flesh on the www but I had document.

Hang Ten Dudes!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day

A few days late...this is my new favorite picture and I just couldn't wait to share. I have a lot more to post but no time!
Happy Birthday G'pa C.

A Peanut Update

I need to take a break (obviously) from Costa Rica posts - here's a little guy post!

Noah is very cool - as we all know! He's very cute and funny!
(don't you love the shirt?)

And rather helpful around the house!

We like to start them young!

(there's supposed to be a really cute video clip

here but my camera takes such great HD vidoes

I can't get them to upload...)

Tuckered after a day of working with G'pa & Daddy

*Noah is just a week shy of 2 years & 5 months

*Noah probably weighs 30 lbs and tall enough to headbutt me in the pelvic bone

*Verbally Noah is taking leaps and bounds each day, he's very careful and focused when he's repeating a word for the first time - we really have to watch what we say :)

*Physically there's nothing he can't do that he wants to do which is just about everything!

*Noah is still obsessed with tools and working with tools and anybody who has or is working with tools

*Sadly Noah loves a few movies - A Bugs Life, Monters, Inc. and Elmo

*Noah still eats just about anything and lots of it

*Life is just sweeter with Noah

I often don't give other places the credit they are due for their natural beauty. I feel we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. This single beach however, is pretty magnificent.

I should but don't recall the name of it but it's referred to as Whales tale. The beach can reach a mile long at low tide, beautiful water, beautiful sand that the jungle meets. It was truly glorious and we feel so lucky to have been there with those we love!

Home base in the jungle with a few critter friends

The trek to the end of the tail

Checking for whales

Ocean on both sides of the beach!

If we did some reading we could probably figure out what it is

But instead we just made up some stories

and took some pictures

Breaking the law!

Zippeddy Doo dahhh

One of our CR adventures was a Zip-line tour! Such fun, never had a desire to do it but glad I did. It started with a 45 minute drive through the countryside a.k.a. Palm Forest, through the river - literally and over the hills to the jungle/rain forest - no sure which it was...

No pictures of us in action as they suggested we not take our cameras -would have been fine had we though.

Pictures speak for themselves!

The tour included about 10 zips, 2 free falls/repels and a Tarzan swing - SUPER FUN!!!

Surf Dudes and Dudess

This is one of many "Around CR" posts...I'm going to try to break them up by activity but at this point I'm not going to make any promises.

Surf lessons with the boys INCLUDING G'pa

Since I was in the waves I don't have any action shots

I'm hoping Stacy shares those she took (wink wink)

3 generations of surfers
Don't be surprised if this is someones
Christmas card

Nothing like local eats to re-energize

American own the taco shack -

The wife (or if you ask the man "it's complicate")

has been in CR and hasn't left this little

dirt road town...

It's a little sketch if you ask me!

Food was good though.

BAMBOO a.k.a. Ron & Cola

A local bevey we learned to enjoy

The gals (have you noticed the progression of color change?)

Don't ask 'cause I don't know

The one and only Bar I went to

so conveniently located at the market

At the local market

Where on this particular day raccoons were

running wild inside

Thumbs up baby!
