Pura Vida in Costa Rica: Highlights

Clara

Riding ATVs, the butterfly garden, swimming in the surf with Dad and Tatum, and playing Old Maid in The pavilion. Especially swimming with Tay.

Tay

Riding ATVs, swimming in the ocean with Clara, taking a nap in the hammock, playing Old Maid last night, and Finn’s competition.

Finn

Eating food with the family, walking in the jungle, ATVing.

Kevin

Breakfast every morning with Mamasita, the ginger kick smoothie, and yoga.

Heather

Finn’s family game, playing Marco Polo in the tropical pool, playing cards and scattegories at the ferry building, moonlight streaming over on the ocean, yoga with an ocean view and breezes every morning with Kev and Finn and once Clara, the massive evening thunderstorm, seeing my first pizote, bananagrams with Clara, the jungle hike, seeing my kids laugh with each other, mint tea with milk, and everywhere views of banana leaves, sea-green and cobalt ocean colors, fat, neon green iguanas, and deep raspberry-colored flowers. And Finn telling the server a joke in Spanish, getting the set up wrong, about snow. Snow balls in particular. Has Daniel the server ever seen snow? Regardless, Daniel laughed for five minutes straight and did that Latin snap with his fingers that expresses true appreciation.
