Costa Rica Vacation 2011 ~ Part 1

Had a wonderful vacation in beautiful Costa Rica.  As always it was so nice to spend time with the family and as you can imagine we took many photos.  Between us all we have over 1000 pics, of course I am only going to post a few of them from each of our outings.

Places we visited:
-casa de Tati and Mami
-Butterfly Farm
-Playa del Tamarindo
-Villas Sol, Guanacaste
-Playa del Coco
-Guanacaste National Park
-Irazu Volcano
-Poas Volcano...almost made it. We got there and it was closed due to Africanized bees...bummer
-Lapaz Waterfall
-Arenal Volcano

Tanith Update
It has been awhile since I have updated how Tanith is doing and I am happy to report she is excellent.  This month she weighs in at 26 pounds and is about 35 inches tall. Just a few days before we left on vacation we noticed she started speaking a lot more and over the two weeks we were gone she was speaking even more in both English and Spanish.  She also started asking "why" already when I ask her to do something.

On the trip she had so much fun with her cousins playing, swimming and just hanging out. We found out that she loves taking photos and she is pretty good at it. She will even have you move closer together for the photo and move you around to make sure that everyone is in the frame. We were all speechless when she first did this and it was not a one time thing. Tanith was an amazing trooper on the vacation with the long car rides and of course the plane rides. She loved the take off and landings of the flights the best and even clapped after each one. We made it throughout the vacation without a stroller, luckily Tanith had a lot of relatives around to help carry her around when necessary. Tia Tati whens the award for holding Tanith for over an hour during a hike at the foot of Arenal volcano while she decided it was time for a nap.

So many wonderful memories!
