This summer we decided to try our hand at sailing. We purchased a Prindle 18 and hoped for the best.

Watch Out, here comes Captain Jack Hoell!

We took the catamaran camping with us, and Brittany found the best place to enjoy her book.
Timmy, our family Cub Scout, was in charge of the camp fire.

We had a Texas Style Thanksgiving, and spent the weekend with Brittany and Timmys God Family... The Baehl's
We spent a day exploring the riverbed in shorts and t-shirts. Notice the Cactus? Yep, still in Texas!

Besides getting crushed by this rock, Timmy broke off both of his front teeth jumping on a trampoline. He didn't really need them anyway; Apples and corn are over rated.
In celebration of 15 years of a wonderful marriage, Denise and I took a vacation to Costa Rica.

Welcome to the Jungle . It was great to be visiting a Spanish speaking country; I got to use all 6 Spanish words I know. Dos Imperials, Gracias, Si, No habla espanol

Her second wish was to see one of the gigantic iguanas
We stayed in these really cool one room (per floor) buildings. They were beautiful.

Another picture from our room. As you can see the place was very crowded. There were 11 rooms at this resort, and all but 9 were occupied.
The adventure begins. Zooming through the jungle on zip lines. Here comes Denise!

Did I mention that parts of the zip line were hundreds of feet up in the air? Yikes!
Just us relaxing with our feet up waiting for our '5:00 surprise'. When's retirement?

We went out for dinner one night, and guess who served us… Enrique. Hey, that was my name in Spanish Class. I guess I know 7 words!
We took a horse back ride into the mountains and checked out the Guava, Lime, and Mango trees.

Relaxing in Montezuma. Although I think our waitress, was even more relaxed than us!
While at the resort we made friends with the hotel manager Juan Carlos and his wife Yorleny. One night they took us into town for dinner.

Our last morning we went to the beach to see the sunrise. Picture perfect.
We stopped alongside the road for snacks, and Denise befriended this toucan with a banana she smuggled from the hotel. The second I got this picture, it flew off into the jungle.
