Thought I would fill you in on the last 3 weeks! I thought it was going to go slow this time, but after i got through the first week - it has been flying by! So here is a mini story book...ok more like a picture book! haha!
It was a hot, muggy night. Cohen and his father were swimming in the pool. Suddenly they see lizards running along the edge of the pool. They snatch them up, and the tails fall off! Ewww. Then they bring them upstairs to show mommy! Major ewwww! THEN, believe it or now. The 2 year old asks "Eat?" Causing his father to say " No No No!" Major, major ewww!
The next day Cohen and his family go swimming at the pool. His parents think to themselves that we need to try the swimmies and vest again. Will it work this time? Will the child freak out like before? We shall see!
He does it! Yeah! Freedom to swim on our own, its a miracle.

Then there's the 7 month old boy, what does he do you ask? Well, he for one sits by the pool in his new bumbo and if its shallow enough even in the water. He is a little water rat when he gets the chance. He is also crawling now so his parents have to contain him now. They get very tired and frustrated watching two active boys all day long!
The ticos have a holiday, their Independance Day. So the family heads to town for the parade! Yeah something to entartain their children with! Wait, it starts at 7:30am! Who starts a parade at that time, oh yeah, its too hot to do it later. This is what they think is the reason behind the early time. So they head into town. Thankfully someone offers them a ride, it was much farther away then they planned, and WAY hotter then they imagined.
They wait, and they wait, and they wait some more. Cohen is crying and being difficult. Landen is sweating profusly. The parents are annoyed and aggitated it is now 8:15am, and it has yet to start! So they watch it in fast motion walking against the crowd headed BACK to the condo. They almost died, but thankfully they didnt. (side note: the reason it "starts so early you ask...because they cant get it organized faster then an hour and a half!)

Later that week they decide to try cheerios for the baby since he got his first tooth that week. Maybe if non the less it will entartain him! Sure enough, he love sto play with it.
Landen also went from not being able to get up on his crib to in 24 hours trying to climb the crib! Thankfully he has to grow a little more before this is possible, but a new crib is in dire need!
And then! Yes, it gets entertaining at this point. We all know Kari's fear if snakes. Deathly afraid if you didnt know. Well we are going to as they are told "drive up and look at some land" so to them they think drive means we will be in a car. Nope! Wrong, they will be hiking a mountian! 8 football fields in length to be a little more specific. What did they wear you ask? Well let me tell you what they wore. Sandles, and shorts! Ha, great gear for hiking undeveloped land where snakes are prevelant! So the alternative, stay in the car for 2 hours with kids and wait. I think not! They will take their chances with the snakes.
So with kids in hand(or arms more or less) they hike through the muddy wet tropical rainforest.
But the kids dont seem to mind in fact I think they like the laziness of no walking and the cool view! Even though the parents are slipping and sliding all over. Feet covered in red mud, clay. Whatever it was.
Then they must cross a river, Kari's father offers to carry her across - but, she is already out of her comfort zone might as well go through it on her own.
Then it got kind of interesting! Horses wandering around the path and forest. Cohen thought this was really cool.
Once they reach the top there is a couple men working. Two cattle, a dog, and an intersting cart.

Soon they head back...
Aaron lands in a ton of mud and goes back to the water to clean it off, leaving Jay and Kari with two kids and a camera and TONS of slippery mud! Finally Jay takes both kids for a short stint. Wussy Kari coudnt handle the heat and holding a kid. Ha, get in shape I say!
The End! Until next time!
