We are going to move!!!

Ha! Only houses not actually move to Costa Rica! we have done so much in the last few days, it feels like we have been here for a month already! 

First of all we went to the English group which is hosted by the Spanish congregation on Sundays at 4pm and Fridays at 7pm. It was so much fun to be included, the kids were so happy because they got to answer on every question. Right now there are about 12 in the group so its kind of like the old book studies which is awesome (for us at least!) Experiencing the Spanish meeting was a real challenge mostly because we don't really speak any Spanish, although we are trying hard to work on that! Hudson was a bag of snakes for the majority of the meeting and did not want me to hold him plus its was SOOOOOOOOOOOO hot and humid in the hall they don't have AC just fans with the doors open... I didn't get pictures yet, I was to hot to care about it, but I will I promise! The brothers of course are lovely and we got to hang out with a brother called Matt and his lovely wife Meredith and their two boys Max and Jack. Jack has pretty much grown up in CR and has a funny Spanish and American accent, it's cute! 

We haven't got to out in service yet, the kids have been sick... (it's not the water ;)) just a tummy bug I think from the plane! Way to go American Airlines!! But we are hoping to go this Thursday if we can get baby well!

So why are we moving and where are we going?

The place we are currently staying at is so so beautiful but so very very cold! So cold in fact that you have to turn on the electric blankets on our bed so we can get a decent nights sleep, plus its a solid hour and a half from the congregation which is a huge pain because it means 3 hours of driving time just to get to the meeting let a lone out in service and on these roads that's a lot! We managed to find a new house about 10 mins from the beach and only about 45 mins from the Congregations,,, yep both the group in San Isidro and the English congregation in Quepos. Its near a little beach town called Dominical below you can see what the beach looks like... it looks rocky but nearer the water its amazing, and the waves are super high, perfect for surfing, we spent a few hours jumping waves, it was so much fun... oh and the house comes with a pool too, so we are really excited about that.

We have so many stories already, way to many to write down, but I am sure we will be talking of everyones ear when we are back.

In the meantime enjoy the pics.

 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a view, the beach in Dominical

 Just hanging out at the beach

 The perfect get-up

Ronnie and Danielle recommend this place... it was fantastic, built around an old plane in the city of Manuel Antonio, we got to see monkeys and the kids got to hang out in the cockpit. We got to stay in a hotel here to because our car broke down... like I said so many stories so far!

 Outside of the restaurant.

This is the bridge we have to drive over everyday to leave the property, its soooooooooooo dodgy, I don't even think there is anything holding it up expect the new planks thrown onto the old!
