August Fun!!

August was a wrap up of our busy season!  We made it through Busy Team Season #4!!

Take a look at our life in August--through photos, of course!

ENJOY!


We welcomed our last team of Busy Team Season!

First Christian Church of Effingham, IL

Although we missed the team from Touch the World, TLCC, we did get to see them on their last day here.  We got to meet up with old friends!

Got to see Jason from last year!

And we also got to see Julian from last year's team as well!

At the end of busy team season, we were invited to join a family on their family vacation.  They invited our family to join them for about 5 days at the beach. It was such a blessing for our family--there is no way to say thank you, except, GOD IS GOOD! We had such a GREAT time! And started to feel refreshed and recharged!

The hotel and view from our room!

Bruce caught a sail fish as well!

Bruce got to go deep sea fishing and caught a DOUBLE margarita

Then took it back to the restaurant where they cooked it for them!

We got to take a boat ride out on the ocean

Beautiful view!

While the guys went deep sea fishing, we went to Manuel Antonio National Park! First time for us! We really enjoyed it!

Up close and personal with the monkeys

We got to see a baby monkey on it's mama's back!!!

We stopped by the Tarcoles River--always a lot of crocs!

Seriously, too scary

Saw these caterpillars everywhere--I didn't touch! But super cool!

Finished up the vacation with a tour of Doka Coffee Plantation! YUM!

At the end of the vacation, we promised to watch RV! Good movie!!

The rest of the month was trying to get back into routine of school and last teams and "normal life"

Leyton was able to be a part of team activities in the daycare--a superhero cape!

We were also able to go to a water park with the team and children's homes!

Look how sweet! Miles 5 months old

We caught this BIG OL' TOAD in our back yard.  That is a 1 gallon container!!

Although we didn't get to see the total eclipse here in Costa Rica (1. because of the clouds and 2. it was only a partial eclipse here) we did enjoy some pictures on the internet of friends! We did talk about it with the kids! It was pretty cool!

Emme had a pajama party with friends before one left in adoptions!

Caught this while out and about!

This was a grub worm that was found on Phase 2 at the AP--YUCK!!!!

We were blessed with security cameras to put up at our house!  This was the first trespasser we saw!

We are so thankful in the many ways that God has blessed our family! He can use anyone at any time in any way He decides!  And we reap the blessings of that!
