Costa Rica - Day 8

Today is our last full day here and we head home early tomorrow morning. We knew it and wanted to fit a few more things in before we left. The morning walk fit right into the schedule and so did some time by the pool before we checked out of our house. We had a small friend join us today - this iguana jumped from the tree right into the pool and swam around with josh for a while! It was so fun and crazy to watch. We also bird watched and saw a tucan in the tree right past our house and watched him come and go for a while. The howler monkeys were in the background though we never did see them. 
We said goodbye to this little piece of paradise and promised we would be back again!

We made a stop in Manuel Antonio about an hour north of us to get our covid tests done. We found a cool restaurant looking out over the ocean and had one last Costa Rican meal!

Then made our way down to a small beach in the area. It was such a cute little cove of a beach with small waves and lots of beauty around us. We spent the last of our time hanging out in the salt water and taking in the warmth and the sun. We could not get enough of the weather and don’t want it to end. 
But we are missing our boys and know that all good things must come to an end. This trip has been THE BEST time with our girls and we have loved having them to ourselves for a few precious days. They are funny and crazy and full of jokes and we made it through the week with lots of inside jokes.  Some of our favorites...
Fath
Moth
Baby bitey bugs
The bulls of ramen (remember our mascot)
wYd
Manuel chorizo
Tickus Gaylen 
The feather braid
Consult the book! (I had a book of Costa Rica that we turned to many times for help on what to do and where to eat. The girls thought I was a crazy book lady whenever I referred to it)
Hungry Hippo swimsuit

And many more...
I can’t believe how lucky we are to have had this time with Rease and Rhen. It is a time to be remembered and never forgotten!
