Waterfall and Road Trip


Today we woke up and hiked to the waterfall. It was a beautiful hike and one of the most scenic waterfall this country has. This is a great waterfall for student groups of a family vacation to Costa Rica because the hike is intense but almost all can handle it. It is called La Fortuna falls and it was about 5 minutes from the hotel we were staying at. After the trip to the falls everyone dried up and we got in the bus for what was the 5 hour road trip to the Pacific coast. We made good time and everyone said it did not feel like 5 hours which means we kept things active in the bus having some games to play. We also made a stop at a super market where the kids found mountain dew which happens to be the only super market in Costa Rica that sells it. We are now at the hotel in Manuel Antonio and the place was filled with monkeys when we arrived. The hotel is just steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet and Costa Rica's most famous national park Manuel Antonio. I also got some quotes today from the kids so here is what they had to say. Thanks for following and have a great day. The kids would love to hear your comments so let them fly and I will read them in the bus:

Cole: "Take me higher"

Will: "Its Magical"

Michael:"Human Kamakazi" (Tom during Rafting)

Celeste: "I dont speak that"

Taylor: "Hi Allie Mom and Dad"

Austin: Hi Sam!

Ty: Hey mom, I miss You

Chase: "PUra Vida"

Polly: "Hey guys want to hear a story?"

Danielle: "Look its a squirrel"

Caroline & Emily: "Thats my quote" "No its my quote!!!"

Kate: Pictures Pictures & Pictures

Tom: The Costa Rica zipline adventure was amazing!!!

  2. Looks like you are all having lots of fun. Tell Chase and Emily that their moms are going to Disney World and will see them at the airport on Tuesday. Chase, you can either stay or ride with us, but I hope you'll ride with us. ( I'm sure Mrs. Randell is ready for a break anyway, so ride home with the girls). Love and miss you!
