Breakfast on the hotel patio

Touring around San Jose

A fun public square.  I rode a bus to San Jose and had a great time touring around  and then had to spend the next hour walking around asking where my bus was.  I think I walked about 3 miles in my flipflops!

Ahh, the pool after a long day walking all over town

Dinner with work friends up on a hill overlooking the city!

The view at night

The workout room with windows for walls.  It reminded me of Marty in Madagascar running toward his mural.  haha

Another day another pool.  Living the good life!

My breakfast on the patio

Yum!!

Costa Rica

Dad and I got to go to Costa Rica this month!!  It was such a fantastic trip.  Here are a couple of pictures.  More to come...

Sports, Sports and More Sports.

We had an incredible sports season!!  Starting with the oldest:

Mr. M was the starting center for his basketball team at school

In track he did High Jump, Triple Jump and Long Jump.  His video below is him tying the school record at a hight of 5'2''  Unbelievable!! His best in triple jump was just over 29'.

Lady K played volleyball and I was able to help coach her team.  They won their end of the season tournament and she was their best server and a killer hitter!!

Little L played volleyball too and was a super consistent server (she even learned overhand serves this year) and player for her team.  She was a very key player, always going for the ball and had a ton playing on the same team as her very best friend.

J Man played his first season of flag football and was a natural as expected!  His team was almost undefeated and did some pretty difficult plays.  He was super coachable and improved a ton in his first season. 

It was a very exciting season, but I am very glad to have our Saturdays and evenings back!!

Coach Mom and her volleyball stars!
