We had such a great time with David's family that I am not sure where to start! In only 5 days we packed in enough excitement for a month! Here goes!!!
David's sister, Tina, her son Ryan and Ryan's wife Danielle visited us and before they arrived we made plans to visit an area a few hours north of the city where the active volcano Arenal is located. The crew arrived a bit tired after an overnight layover in Miami, but after a few hours rest we were on our way.
On Friday we drove through a town called Zarcero for a quick pit stop and a visit to their central park. It is very unique with these bush designs made into animals, people and faces.
We arrived to our hotel at noon and then headed to La Fortuna waterfall. It was a quite a hike down and we were all thinking about the hike back up as we descended. Everyone hiking up said it was worth the effort so down we went. The waterfall was beautiful and amazingly powerful! It was hard to even stand in that water (which was a bit cold by the way!).
We enjoyed the hot springs pools in temperatures from warm to hot but the hit of the pool was a tie between the two water slides and the American football we managed to sneak into the swim bag. I've never seen three guys think of more ways to compete with a football. We were entertained for hours!
Saturday night it decided to rain so we were not able to see the lava as we had hoped, but the next morning made up for it with a wonderful canopy/zip line adventure. Here are a few shots of our time together. We were most worried about Kayley thinking she might get scared and chicken out but she was right up front and loved it even more than the rest of us. She looked like a professional out there!
We enjoyed worshiping together on Sunday morning and then did some souvenir shopping. Monday morning we left early to view Poas Volcano. It was a little cloudy but the wind blowed some clouds out of the way to view part of the crater.
It is always great to have family visit and we needed the break to spend some fun time together as a family. Needless to say, the regular routine has begun once again and already David is in Nicaragua to visit 3 of the 4 districts there. We are busy preparing for the 44 member team that will arrive in two weeks. All the plans are coming together and we are excited to see what God will do in and through this teen group.
May God bless your week. We miss you all!
The Webb Family
