We finally got dumped on last week with the first rainy season worthy rain. You could hear the neighbors and our family all shouting as soon as the rain started falling. It is CR change of seasons, and a beautiful change it is. Showering everything green, beautiful sunsets, rainbows. and some cooler temps. The double rainbow was out in the middle of the rain and I didnt get to see it in person but a bunch of friends in town all posted pics so i put one below. We were too busy dancing in the rain and playing music inside. Pooks ran downstairs and danced her little butt off until she was soaking wet.

Today we finally all made it to the mango trees together. On the way we picked up some of Sophie’s favorite pizza which we were going to eat at the beach but Sabs ended up falling asleep in the car, and Will had to do a business call so he needed cell service (without the sounds of waves crashing behind him) so we drove up to the mountains and Pooks and I hung out while she ate hers (and everyone else’s) pizza. After Dada’s call Sabs woke up and we headed over to pick some mangoes!!

Look who else is creeping on some pizza

On or way we spotted this little fella in the middle of the road. We pulled over, picked him up, said our hellos, and helped him over to the other side.

Hello Mango Season!

Whew last week was flipping hot! Thankfully the heat finally broke for now and it has been much more breathable around these parts. The kiddos hung out with Dada while i went to a workout class and they got bottles of sparkling water and drove around the hills of Santiago. They found a ton of mango trees that Will took me back to see when we were driving around with Sabi while Sophie was in art class. We finally all went back together on Friday morning and did some mango picking (pics above). After they picked me up from workout it was super hot and high tide at the beach so the water hose satisfied both fun and cool down as usual :).

Oh and here she is Queen Bee (who also just got treated for a case of fleas this morning)

Nearly everyday we walk over to this beach at least once. There is a big pond/river thingy on one side that the girls call a wishing pond and throw things into…rocks, logs, their eaten carambolas once they are finished, leaves, leaves with hermit crabs on them to sail away, etc. The dogs like to swim in it and run around it. Momma and Dada like to sit and watch. Win.

This is Sophie’s face as the dogs ran around the girls on the log chasing each other and flinging sand all over the nuggets.

Sophie carried this log over all by herself and told us she found the perfect place for sissies to sit together, and so they did.
