Costa Rica June 2-6

My mom and I took an amazing vacation to Costa Rica earlier this month. It was a very fun vacation with a few excursions and definitely a lot of R&R. We took a tour of the Palo Verde National Park where we took a riverboat cruise in search of wild life - and that we found! We also took a short snorkel cruise off the beach to a reef where I've never seen SO many fish of all different colors, shapes and sizes! It was beautiful. We even caught a rainbow on our trip. The kids had a vacation of thier own...the spent the week in Cleveland with the Kilbane family. They went to the zoo, went on a Safari (in Port Clinton) and Kaitlyn even rode a roller coaster at Kiddie Park. We certainly have kicked the summer off with a bang!

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning!
