Costa Rica Part 1

 Costa Rica 2014.... what a difference a year makes!  Last year with Van he was so little (4 months) that we just hung out in the shade most of the time.  This year was night and day different for me and Van!  I got to be on the water more with Finn and Sophie and Van LOVED the ocean and sand!  He would just run for the water when we got to the beach!  We love our trips down to Costa!  I love everything about being down there and so do my kids, I am currently trying to talk Audy into moving down there permanently!  I always take a million pictures while we are there so here is the first half of the trip!


Dinner and Los Amigos

I don't really like ice cream... but the coconut ice cream here is delish!
Audy getting his surf on!











Oh man this little nugget loves eating the sand... it was so gross!



Naked baby on the beach!





Oh the sunsets!  I can never get enough and it never gets old!  So beautiful!


Having some pipa juice!


Finn and Soph loved getting coconuts and cutting them open for their pipa juice!

My boys on the croc tour.  Audy and I did this when I was pregnant with Van and  Finn and Sophie were not going to miss out on going this year!






I just love these two so much!  They really take care of one another.  They are staring at all these HUGE crocs right next to the boat!

I Love Love my kids!

Oops!  Face plant into the sand!

Van loved to dig holes and look way down into them! He always said "whoa" or "wow"!

Always climbing on the surf boards!

We could stay at the beach all day with our buckets, shovels and surf boards!








Finn picked surfing right back up from last year!  He LOVES it!

I always love looking at your Costa Rica pictures - it's now on my list of places to go someday! Van's little bum could be the cutest thing ever, and you are a total beach babe! Love Audy's mohawk. :) That sunset picture with the colors reflecting in the water looks totally fake, so incredible!

These pics make me so happy! I can almost feel the sun through them! And that sunset pic!! If I hadn't seen Costa Rica sunsets with my own eyes I wouldn't believe it. So gorgeous. And vans sand face! So cute! Wish we could go there with you guys! With how many trips we've both done its hard to believe we've never been together!
