Slip slidin away
Let the travels begin!
Well, the drive to San Jose was fun and uneventful. Sabs had us crying laughing when it sounded like sophie said a curse in the car (of course she didnt) but little sister Sabs is first to jump on it and out of nowhere informs everyone “Sissy said Oh Shit”. Oh man it was so hilarious coming out of her little mouth and in her little trickster way…sissy was obviously not a fan of this and it took about 5 minutes to recover but all worth it.
We all went out to dinner, had some ice cream and then conked out for our travels the next morning. We promised Sabs we would take her to the playground at “Old McDonalds” (yes thats what she calls mcdonalds and we dont correct her). She also calls the Ferry “the tooth ferry” and obviously we dont correct that either. So we ate some bfast and headed to Mcdonalds where they got some energy out. Then we went to take rental car back and hopped on airport shuttle to catch our flight.
All was going great until we arrived at the airport. Literally we were at the airport door, exiting the van, and Sabs hurls her entire breakfast all over me. Chunks of cheese in my hair, down my shirt, all down her shirt, all over our seat…everywhere!! I flung her outside the van where she stood on the airport sidewalk finishing her hurl session, topless, in front of airport doors. It def topped Sophie’s hurling episode on the Disney airport bus years ago.
Luckily because of the past experiences, I had everything on hand for this situation. Sabs and I headed into airport bathroom and changed all of our clothes. I rinsed my hair with shampoo in the bathroom sink and piled all our dirty clothes into a sealed puke bag. We still wreaked like vomit until Texas, but at least we didnt have any on us. Apparently vomit smell lingers longer than Sabs poop. Bless the man next to us on the flight (who was flying for the first time ever) and was sitting next to the vomit duo.
Here is Sabs post vomit enjoying her flight and gummy bears
and here she is pre-vomit, about to consume all her vomitable breakfast items (which mainly consisted of a white cheese that is not on her plate b /c it is all in her belly waiting to come out her mouth)
Some pics from hotel in SJ
And we made it to Houston! Enjoyed live music and a yummy dinner 🙂
And then off to SF!

some others i just came across from home:
A glorious day in the mountains!
Yesterday we drove up to Poas Volcano and had the most beautiful day! It was so refreshing to escape the city and be back in nature. The air was fresh, cows were everywhere, dogs roaming, horses, waterfalls, ugh just perfect. At one point in my life i thought i was a “city girl”…ummm no. For sure i am not and neither is this little family of mine. Sophie said “we should stay here next time. This feels like Costa Rica (she thinks the city is some other country here)”.
We had a little picnic on the side of the road with the most incredible views and fresh mountain air. Then we went to La Paz animal sanctuary and Waterfall garden followed by a yummy Tico style lunch and then if that all wasn’t enough we spotted a sloth on our drive home!! We pulled over and went to the tree and he was right by our head just eating some berries. Sophie and I were geeking out. Ugh what a cool day!! Feeling super thankful!
Happy 35th Birthday Dada!!! We love you!!
Yay, Dada and I are only 2 years apart now- wohooo…for about 2 weeks. He celebrated his bday by opening a business bank account here in CR and then out for a yummy lunch, playground time, home for cake and a movie :).
Dada i am so extremely proud of all that you have accomplished this past year. I know i say it every year, and really every year it is true so that says a lot about you. You are the worlds greatest father, husband, person, friend. I love you so much and feel so thankful to have you by my side through this amazing journey of life. What a killer year this was and cheers to many more! You are AWESOME!
Here are rest of the pics from Parque Diversiones and after :)
And some vids:
Sabs Vs the Bug
Yesterday we took the girls back to Parque de Diversiones in SJ. It is a huge amusement park here that we went to last year around the same time and the girls had a blast. Sophie said it is “better than Disney World because it isn’t too many people”. Um, ok we can go there instead…always. Anyway, i have pics from the day and it was total fun, but the highlight for sure was Sabs vs. the bug so it is getting its own post.
Last year she completely lost her sh*t on this ride (i’ll look for pics to compare) but this year she seemed to not remember her battle with the bug and happily hopped on the ride again with sissy. As it happened last year, she was all smiles again and driving her little bug…until the ride started moving. We figured she was older and since the ride just goes around in a circle it wouldn’t phase her this year…we were WRONG.
Omg i am still dying every time i think about it or look at these precious photos. We may be slightly evil b/c Will and I had tears rolling down our cheeks watching the panic in Sabs face each time their little bug passed us. As soon as the ride started moving she clung on to Sophie’s arm screaming her head off in sheer terror. Oh man, these pictures don’t even do it justice.Â
Here they are…Sabs vs. the Bug
Here’s some video to demonstrate the bug’s movement. You can see Sabs and sissy in the little bumblebee one and hear Will and I cracking up as they pass. Omg i have tears posting this hahahaha…
Here she is battling the bug in 2015. She used the front cling technique instead of Sophie’s arm. It took us a minute to decide whether she was having fun or terrified. She was terrified.
Christmas Videos
Here are some vids from Christmas morning. Sophie is seriously such a sweat pea. She ran out and first thing she wanted to do was find the gift that she picked out for Sabi so she could give it to her. She couldnt stop talking about it since the day she picked it out (over a month ago). She is such a ball of kindness and love…and then there’s Sab. Miss “i’ll do it all by myself” (see 2nd video),feisty,stubborn but oooh she is a hilarious little nugget.
