Baby Turtles!!!!!

Kate tried to post this the other day, but we were distracted by whatever the next amazing Costa Rican adventure was, so we never finished.  Here it is ...

Yesterday morning we went to the beautiful beach right down the road "Buena Vista."  We were lucky enough to see the baby turtles being released into the ocean.  These were the turtles that did not crawl out of the nests into the ocean by themselves, so people took them out of the nests and set them into the ocean to help them. They were so cute!  Sadly, some of them that had made it all the way down were washed up by waves and were back to where they started.  Towards the end, when the only turtles that were left on the sand were the slow and weak, we had to pick them up and put the into the waves.

I'm catching up on photos, and I've been waiting to post this one and wish you all a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


Ack.  Click on the photo to see it full-sized.  I am done futzing with this for tonight. ;-)

Costa Rican Adventure

Nadia and I are in Playa Guiones, Costa Rica.

Kie and Francy (as well as my folks) left yesterday. It's beautiful, but I'm still a wee bit nervous being here by myself with Nadia. Could be that I don't speak Spanish. Could be parenting alone for six weeks. Could be the steady diet of beans.

But heh, we're jumping in and having a blast!

Merry Christmas

An Hour in the Life

This is what we did this afternoon between 3:30 and 4:30.  Part of me would rather keep the 'Christmas Picture" a surprise, but everyone knows I'm too impatient...

P.S.  Do any of my super smart cousins (or sibling) know how to upload a higher quality video on Blogger?  These look so nice on my computer, and even pretty nice on Facebook -- here, they look like poop!  (Kate dared me to say that, fyi).

Lazy

I finally sat down to sort and upload pictures. I knew I had been letting it go for a while but I didn't know it was six months! So everything starting in May is new to my Flickr page.

MONK-EEE!!!!
