Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.

Here are some pics from our visit to one of Costa Rica's national parks. It was beautiful....the jungle, the beach, and the approaching storm that loomed just as it was time for us to leave. This was one of my favorite days. Nothing better than a day at the beach.

Relaxing and Beaching it in Costa Rica.

There's no question...Hank LOVES
the water!

More Costa Rica.

One morning the team spent some time at an elementary school. The kids were darling and LOVED Hank. He was almost as popular as Heather, a wife of one of the players. She is blonde and beautiful and when one of the boys jokingly asked some of the little girls which boy they wanted to meet on the team, all of the girls requested to meet Heather. Pretty cute and funny.

Hank with his lady friends. These girl kept fighting over whose turn 

it was to push Hank in his stroller. I did my best to make them

take turns in my less than coherent spanish. 

Hank done with all the attention.

Our group mingling with the students and staff.

Of course, some soccer was played :)

Hank back in the safety of his stroller.

Where'd you go Hank?

Costa Rica 2012...bit by bit. 

 Hank getting ready for his first airplane ride. 

Our first adventure in Costa Rica was a little hike to a volcano, Parque Nacional Volcan Poas. I must add that it costs $2.50 for the locals and $10 for tourists...go figure. The air was super thick and the fog prevented us from seeing the big volcano crater (at which point we wished we had only paid the 2.50). At least we were able to see the pretty lake behind us in our family pic.

Hank all ready for church our first 

Sunday there. And us in front of the LDS chapel. 

 

One of my favorite parts of the trip was mingling with the Costa Rican LDS members. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the same everywhere regardless of differences in cultures and geography. So enriching for me to see first hand. We are all God's children.
