When my sweetheart and his sister have appointments out of town we usually all head out and enjoy a short weekend trip. Lately we've been adventuring through Costa Rica.
I wanted to post a few shots of Punta Leona, I'm not sure I'm spelling that correctly {but most of you won't know that}. Wes sister from LA came to hang with us for Thanksgiving. Did I mention my honey, our two oldest and his visiting sister had lofty plans to escape Costa Rica and head into Panama? Did I also tell you that they {accidentally} went an hour into the country without having their documents stamped? Did you know that you can't cross into Panama with a rental car?
We've learned so much this last week.
When someone {with HUGE guns} finally stopped them in Panama..he just keep repeating their version of "Oh my ___! Oh my ____!"
Finally out of the kindness of his heart {or fear of having to complete a lot of paperwork} he gave them back their passports and said..."Head for the border and don't stop! I never saw you!"
So here we are, spent the money to get the kids their required time out of the country, and no stamp on the passport to prove it.
Soooooo back to what I started to post...here are some pictures of our time at Punta Leona.
My guys castle building {although Troy clearified he was building a fort}.
The younger ones in line for sand packing.
Paige started a sand fight...and won. {Until Wes threw her into to ocean.} Yuck! I hate having sand everywhere.
The beaches are so beautiful here, these are Wes' little sisters. Rusti is due in 5 weeks...doesn't she look great! She gained about 3 pounds a month. Doesn't it make you SICK! :)
More sand sculptures.
My sweetie, his sister Brie and our little Dallin enjoying family time on Thanksgiving day.
Our Thanksgiving day hosts had a boat which kept the kid's entertained most of the day. See Paige playing "little mermaid" at the front? It brought back memories of the Williamson's boat that was stored between our homes when I was a kid. Such great imaginative memories.
What about this view? They were getting ready for a beach wedding. Too bad the rain came 20 minutes after this shot.
Have a happy {no sand} day! I'm off at 12:30 {10:30am your time southern Ca) for my girls getaway. I can't wait.

Hope you have fun on your girls getaway. I can't believe you are able to enjoy beach days in December. Fun! We finally got a good cooler day yesterday and we actually had some rain right before Thanksgiving. It's so rare hear my kids all want to go play in it. (I bet you can't even remember those days:) My goal is to work on Christmas cards today so I'll be sending your's off soon.
Sounds like you guys had tons of fun! We missed you on Thanksgiving! Hopefully we can all be together again in a couple years. We are glad that Rusti has you guys though!
Love all the shots of the kids...they are a cute bunch.
