Tree People

We had THE most amazing time EVER in Costa Rica.  I am actually twitching at the fact that so many of you are still there, having fun without us.  How dare you????  Just kidding.

Thank you SO much Kore and Jeff, and all of you wonderful cousins, cousins-in-law, and adopted cousins for being among the funnest people to hang out with anywhere in the world!

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 ...


Baby Turtles from Jaye McLaughlin on Vimeo.

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.

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!
