Saying Good-Bye to Everybody

Today was the last day of Spanish school.  I already miss everybody.  We spent my last day at school going to the Plaza, which is like a big soccer field.  We played with a kite, played soccer and had sack races.  Afterwards we stopped by the super market for snacks. After school we ate lunch and had a surprise party.  The kids hit a pinata.

I spent my last afternoon in Tuis playing Mono en la Media with Macha and her grandchildren. 

I spent my last evening in Tuis dancing in the rain with Joe.

I miss you all and I can't wait to be home.  Please pray that we will have a safe trip home.

Turning 10 in Costa Rica

We celebrated my birthday early because my Mamaw, Papa, &  Auntie Lynn were here.  We went to a restaurant and I opened my presents there.  I got binoculars and a bird book from my Mamaw and Papa and a video camera from my Auntie Lynn.  I took some video from our balcony so you could see the view.  When we got home we had cake and I had "girls night" with my Auntie Lynn. Girls Night is when Lily sleeps upstairs and my Auntie Lynn sleeps with me. My Auntie Lynn is afraid of bugs so we moved her net to my bed.  We stayed up late looking at my new book and laughing. I already love being 10 years old!

I am leaving Costa Rica in two weeks.  I miss you all a lot.  You are all in my prayers.
