Costa Rica Day 4

We packed up and left the Jaco area, but first the kids swam, then they fed the iguanas our left over fruit and made one last stop by the beach. On our way to La Fortuna we stopped for some ice cream and saw alligators under a bridge. We drove on some very skinny/sketchy roads up the mountain. We saw two trucks tipped off the side of the road. 😳 We stopped at the top and had lunch in the clouds ☁️. Then we drove through the cloud Forrest. We made it to our new Vrbo. The kids tested the pool while Mike and Tyson went to a fruit stand for dinner and breakfast foods. Mike made guacamole and we tried some fruit. After dinner the older kids took a turn in the pool while the younger kids watched a movie. Not a bad way to end the night.

Costa Rica day 3

 Manuel Antonio National park. We did a nature walk. We saw deer, monkeys, sloths, ants, crabs, Mexican black squirrel, lizards and iguanas. We looked at tide pools, tried to body surf, swam, and snorkeled. The snorkeling wasn’t great. The kids say the ocean wasn’t as salty today. After the park we stopped at another soda for linner. Then headed home. It’s a good thing we did because there was a downpour! We decided to wash our clothes in the rain. After we spent about 40 minutes washing and hanging our clothes, the kids found the washer and dryer under the stairs. 😀 Once there was no lighting for 10 minutes the kids were in the pool.

Costa Rica Day 2

 We started the day early with Nauyaca Waterfall nature park. Because of the Achilles situation I got to ride a cart down a good portion of the hike, while the rest of our family hiked down. This waterfall was amazing! Definitely worth the trip! After we hiked out we stopped at a soda for linner. Then we went to Uvita Falls. It had three pools you could swim in. The 3rd pool you were suppose to be able to waterslide out of, but the water was too powerful to use. We still had a blast swimming and jumping in the other pool. Then we went home, where the kids swam some more.
