Costa Rica

Last week Cliff & I had the opportunity to visit Jaco, Costa Rica for a week. Granny Kathryn and Grandpa Val took the Bodster. They are the best... thanks for doing that Mom & Dad!!!

Keri thought the trip would be a great break from being a full time accountant and a full time mom. By about day three she just wanted to be a full time mom again. It is amazing how kids change your life. She even looked into coming home a day early. Bode ended up going to St. George with is grandparents and did not get home until after we did. I thought Keri was going to drive down to meet them halfway. It was like waiting for Christmas when you were a kid, waiting for our little boy to get home. We love you Bode and can't wait until you are old enough to enjoy a trip like this.


The is the zip line tour... awesome very fun, especially compared to the Park City zip line...


We also surfed everyday, or at least tried to. We took a lesson the first day which helped a lot and spent the rest of the week practicing. We could only surf for about two hours until our arms couldn't paddle fast enough to catch a wave anymore.
The Scenery was gorgeous, Always every way you looked.



This is Cliff seeing if he should have been Tarzan for a living instead of a Civil Engineer... yip should have been a Engineer not Tarzan. Cliff thinks it is funner to be Tarzan and the skill could be learned.

Look closely you will see me in the bottom of this picture sitting on a gigantic rock by a huge waterfall west of Jaco.

Hiking in Manual Antonio Park

Trying to cool off unfortuantely the water is not very cold.


Swim at the beach not in the rivers.

Little fella



Iguanas are everywhere.



We saw monkey's almost everyday!!








If you notice some of the beaches are white sand, while others are black....


As you can see the beaches were always packed. Just like Cliff likes it.
