Here are some pics from when we took Sophie back to the river we found. There was a big Tico family hanging with us and they had about 4 little girls so they all played together.

This black lab came for a visit (it is not Flower) and we would throw a coconut into the river and he would go get it and swim back. Sophie would hold on to his butt and go for a ride on the way back. It was adorable. He was one cool dog and hung with us all day.

The family bbq’d for lunch and came over to give us some food. It was pork wrapped in a corn tortilla. We had to eat it because they were sitting right next to us. Sophie was so disturbed that we were eating pork. She said Ugh mama i thought you were vegetarian. I said yes i am but sometimes you just do something to be respectful and this is one of those times. She said ugh gross you are eating a pig. Do you like it? hahahaha….don’t think she will be eating meat in her near future. Thankfully it was quite good and a small little taco ;).

The other day our friend Eller stopped by because his daughter is getting married. He wanted to drop off this invitation for our family :). Looks like we’ll be heading to our first Tico wedding in town!

This is how I found her. She opened the fridge, pulled over her stool, stepped up and climbed right in. Nutball. Of course her partner in crime is waiting at the bottom for her to throw something down.

Lately during sunset we have been walking down to the beach by our house. The river is flowing good there now so we all swim in that and the kids love climbing the rocks, sliding down the sand mountains, collecting hermit crabs and playing with Jadyel. Three amigos.

The other morning after we dropped Sophie off at school we decided to go for a quad ride to Cabuya (another town over the mountain about 20 min away). Along the way we say some horses roaming on the road and pulled over to say hello. Sabsy is obsessed with “horseys”. I love rainy season for many reasons (the rivers, the greenery, the quiet town, the awesome storms) and the free roaming beautiful horses are just one of them.

When we made it to Cabuya we found the most amazing river that flowed right into the ocean. Sometimes when i look around i feel like im in a page of “Where the Wild things are”. This was one of those times. The backdrop was insanely beautiful and there were so many different birds flying around us it was straight out of a storybook. We loved it so much that we took Sophie back the next day when she was off from school. She was geeking out jumping in the river and the girls made a little crew of friends. I have pics from that after this.

This was the amazing river we swam in and the moment i looked up and felt like i was in a storybook. That is Will swimming.

Sabs having a wee in the river…thankfully it was flowing.
