Be sure to watch it through. Oh relationships! Love the style, Audrey Tautou, and the parade at the end (made me laugh out loud).
Easter in Costa Rica
The Easter Bunny came to Costa Rica! Isn’t he cute?
He brought a bucket with lots of goodies including a Chocolate Bunny, Cadbury Creme Eggs, Peeps, Fun Dip, Huge Pixie Sticks, Dog Bones for the girls, and the newest issue of Dwell! (Chocolate and Dwell=one of my ideas of heaven)
Have I mentioned that our guest rock?! They do.
The other great thing about Easter this year is that it marks the end of Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week). I’m all for people having religious holidays and all but there had been an insane amount of Costa Ricans at the beach this week. I mean tons. Not only tourists but also life guards and ice cream vendors. Plus the water pressure went way down. Now I can go to the beach and maybe see 10 other people, take slightly more powerful showers, and drive into Jaco without feeling claustrophobic.
Hope you had a Happy Easter if you celebrate it!
Baby O & his parents (Brad and Chandler)
I won’t wake up at 3am and drive 2 hours to the airport for just anyone. Luckily Brad, Chandler, and Baby Owen are a few I would.
Our last visitors have arrived and we’re thrilled to have them. After grabbing some breakfast we all headed back to the house to be greeted by the girls (who remembered them and gave Owen a few drive by kisses) and then crashed for a few hours.
After waking Jim and I found that Brad and Owen had already walked to the beach and back and had showered a few times already to stay cool. (It is hot as all get out here. I mean, seriously, HOT.) Jim and I headed into town to grab groceries for dinner. We either missed the farmer’s market or it didn’t happen today (as it is Good Friday) but we picked up some goods from the store and the fish guy.
Came back to Chandler and Baby O in the hammock and soon we headed to the beach were Jim surfed while the rest of us (including Sasha and Lita) walked and played in the waves.
After washing up, Baby O went to bed and the rest of us ate Corvina (Sea Bass), Broccoli, and Potatoes followed by some of Jim’s Birthday Passion Fruit Pie with Vegan, Refined Sugar Free Coconut Lime Ice Cream.
Brad joined Owen and after a game of rummikards Jim and Chandler headed to bed. Even though I was exhausted, I stayed up. Why do I do this? I don’t know, but I wanted to catch up on some of my favorite blogs.
I’m thoroughly impressed by how cheerful Baby O is. At 11 months this is not only his first trip to a different country, but his first where we took a plane. We adore him. (His folks are alright too.) It’s awesome to have them here and I’m excited that moving back to Boulder on the 22nd will allow us to have them be more a part of our life again.
