Today's Gabi's 1st birthday (Jan 25th), photo below is not her but surely she and the monkey share some behavioral traits! Before everyone rises I'm using quiet time to capture one of our recent vacations to the National Manuel Antonio Park earlier in the month. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed seeing more of the beauty CR offers, we're so fortunate to be living here!
exploring white-faced monkeys on our boat tour
Tatum's not too sure about how close the monkeys are getting
"ok, maybe it's pretty cool, they are pretty cute"
McKenna wasn't expecting a monkey for a hat
far better to feed them by hand then wear them as a hat!
three more monkeys looking for relatives on the monkey tour
Lisa and her Mom on the monkey tour boat ride
Poncho the resident main honcho iguana at our resort getting his sunning in for the day
an iguana at our hotel, they ran comfortably with the guests
a picture perfect beach at Damas Island...kind of felt like we were on our own private beach
taking a stroll to Damas Island, you can see the ocean in the middle of the photo-Nana Leen, Gabi and Taty walking through a grove of palm trees to get there
Tatum lost a tooth while playing in the ocean, amazingly she came away with the tooth and looked forward to seeing if the toothfairy visits CR
Gabi loved sitting at the beachline where the waves reached and playing in the sand, tasting her fair share :)
Gabi is still very flexible....and the envy of the yoga fans worldwide
we enjoyed playing cards on our balcony overlooking the beautiful hotel gardens
McKenna and Lisa sporting our matching beach wraps. In the background hanging across are some of the paintings that we watched an artist make. We ended up bringing a couple home as souvenirs-doing our share to help the local economy.
we enjoyed watching a troop of white faced monkeys monkey around
Tatum gets clued into the monkey eyeing her drink
here's Tatum enjoying her drink not realizing the monkey above her was coveting it
Nana Leen takes a turn with Gabi in the backpack......yipee!
McKenna and Tatum take a run into the ocean to cool off
group photo while on the hike -everyone's in good spirits considering we rose at 6:30am and have hiked 3 hours, not bad for the vacationing crew!
