Back to Paradise

After our amazing 4 days at the Finca Manglar, we went back to our beautiful house at Palo Seco.  It felt like home:).  Seriously this beach is amazing!!!!  The skim was incredible!


We ate the most amazing pineapples almost every day.  Ahhhh they are SOOOO good!


This tree was huge and so awesome!  We love the cool plants we see on our walk to the beach.






Because of the recent storms that washed a bunch of logs onto the shore, we decided to clean up the beach a bit and have a bonfire.  The kids love fire:).



It was so fun to be at the beach in the dark because all the crabs came out!  Brig found this huge one.  It was a little eerie at night though - it was pitch black so I couldn't see the kids, only the light of their flashlight.  I could hear the ocean but couldn't see it.  It's a crazy feeling.  We're so used to flipping on lights whenever we need them.  I liked using my other senses, which are probably weak from my reliance on sight!


Along the beach in the dark we saw that hundreds of little blue jellyfish had washed up on shore.  We picked them up to look at them and they were so cool!  Lincoln got a little careless with his and the tentacles touched his chest and stung him.  Ouch it hurt him so bad!  Poor guy!




These toads were always waiting for us on the porch and the kids loved them!!


Do you believe in vision boards?  I do.  I put a picture of a family doing school on the beach on my vision board before the Costa Rica idea even happened.  And look!  Here we are!  Put a dream on your vision board and watch it come to pass!




Endless beach with no other humans.  My type of beach!  (We saw way too much skin on other beaches....).  Can you believe this sand?  I loved that the kids just played and played and played!!!




This skim though!!!  The reflection!  We had so much fun skim boarding.  The kids got really good at it!  We loved the beach so much, but were sad that the surfing and the boogie boarding wasn't good.  The skim boarding definitely made up for it!  Here's Brig.


Here's Lily.




And here's Linc.  We got Jade going too, but she wasn't as into it and I didn't snap a photo.
