What an wonderful two weeks we have had with my Parents here visiting us in Costa Rica. We played games almost every night they were here! In the two weeks they experienced a Costa Rican New Year's, trips to the market, rides in public buses and taxis, zip lining through a rainforest, Costa Rican down pours, a Costa Rican birthday party, a Central American amusement park, and an earthquake. We were able to tour a Coffee plantation and see the whole process of how a coffee bean goes from the ground to the ground brown stuff you buy at the store. All very interesting. We took a couple days and drove to a hotel right next to the active volcano, Arenal. However it was cloudy and rainy almost the whole time. I guess that is what you get when you visit a rainforest! While at Arenal we all did a Canopy Tour which is zip lining in the canopy of the tree tops. Some of them about 800 feet in the air. But probably one of the most memorable moments we will all remember was the 6.2 earthquake we all made it through the day before Mom and Dad left. It was unlike anything we have ever experienced. Praise the Lord we were here with Mom and Dad and the girls because we have been prepared for this where Mom and Dad really didn't know what to do with it. The girls did very well and didn't seem to be the least bit frightened. Wow, as I typed what all we did made myself feel very tired. We sure were busy but had a great time experiencing it all together. We were all very sad to see them leave and I know they were sad to leave us, but we still have SKYPE and our memories until we see one another again face to face!
There are a lot of pictures, because my dad was a little snap happy with the camera. But out of 1600 photos I was able to narrow it down to about 370 or so. Some you can flip through quickly but you might have to see them in two settings. Sorry about that. I guess this will make up for all the weeks I didn't have very many photos, huh.

Upcoming important dates and prayer opportunities:
We start our 3rd Trimester on Monday, January 12th, Gabrielle will celebrate her 28th birthday on Thursday, January 15th and then Mylee her 5th birthday on February 4th.
