Elsie doesn’t just say water, she says “WAAAAAAA waa” and Costa rica was filled with it … the beach the over protective mother … Dad explaining tides of course the pool (dad, coaxing her in) But her favorite Waaaa Waaa was the warm pool with the jets on, oooo
Sweet innocent little Elsie meet Nicholas (Bam Bam) Johnston. Finally Elsie and Nicholas are at an age where they actually play together (yes mom, I know its only parallel play, but it seems as if they are interacting to me) and we were pretty excited about the vacation. I find it exciting and terrifying to [...]
We have been having great weather in Costa Rica … we expected some showers and some weather from the hurricane’s but we seemed to have come in at the right time. Our house is on a fantastic (secluded) beach so the first morning we woke up and decided to take a walk down before breakfast. Here is Elsie walking in the water for [...]
We had a great night in San Jose and enjoyed the breakfast at the Hampton Inn before heading to the airport. We arrived at 12:00 for a 1:30 flight – they told us we couldn’t check in until 1:00 (we were in a tiny cessna to Tambur) and there was talk of a weather delay [...]

Joining us on the trip Scott, Julie, Drew, Vivian, Josh, Amy, Heidi [...]
Well the week is ending (so sad) so we spent our last day lounging around on the beach, swimming, more surfing for the boys and then a delicious lobster dinner flown in from Maine. Yum Here is a photo run down of the day … First a photo shoot for Niko (Surfer) and Elsie (Flutterbug) [...]
On Wednesday morning the boys headed out for a marathon surf morning … Jul and I held down the fort with the babies. We played, had some naps, and were preparing to take the kids to the beach. The sun was beautiful – by the time I had all of the beach gear set up [...]
