This past weekend we went to the final place that we wanted to visit before leaving Costa Rica. We went to a place called Manuel Antonio which is a group of beaches. This is also the place of the Manuel Antonio National Park which has the prettiest beaches inside the park. At first we thought we were not going to be able to go into the park because of contaminated water but it was open so we swam on faith! The weekend all together was very fun. It was about a 5 hour bus ride including breaks. We were a little nervous about Evie because this was her first trip being potty trained but we had no accidents. We got a little nervous at the end of the trip when we were sitting in traffic after driving for an hour and a half and still had about an hour to go so we put a diaper on her just in case but it was dry when we got home. So we were so proud of her. I think our most memorable time we had at the beach was when we sat down on Saturday to have lunch in the National Park. One of the features of the park is all the wildlife they have inside of it. Well during lunch we were able to see first hand the wild life with 3 raccoons that were very bold and came within about 2 feet of our food. The girls were a little nervous about this. So I had to get up and kick sand at them to scare them away. One of the park guides even helped me once. I did this about 4-5 times before they realized that this woman is getting more violent every time. So they finally gave up. But then a little monkey showed up but he didn't want our food so he posed for a few pics! Below is the link to see some of the pictures of the weekend. Other people said they were going to be sending me some so we'll get those up at a later time!
Please pray for us this week as we will be celebrating our son Daeton's birthday (born before Mylee but is in the arms of Jesus) on Wednesday, the 4th of February. It was 6 years ago but still fresh on our minds.
I will also be attending a Woman's Retreat this coming weekend that I have written dramas for. Please pray for the women, that their lives will be changed through the dramas and the message of forgiveness.
