costa rica {day thirteen}

We are all getting a little anxious to head home. CJ has ‘hell’ week coming up, so he’s getting antsy with some business stuff and decisions. I’m getting antsy with the store stuff {even though I strongly believe it’s all good … I wish I were there}, and I’m going to be gone next week at a workshop {more on that later}. So I won’t be back at the store for another week. And, if you know me … that’s weighing on me.

Believe it or not, the girls are missing home too.

We’ve had an awesome time and are so blessed to have this experience … but … there’s no place like home! :)

The rooms here are made up of little villas sprinkled throughout the hills, so it’s a bit of a walk to get to the pools, beach, restaurants, etc. … so we take a golf cart ride to get to where we’re going. The night we arrived, we were shown to our awaiting chariot {golf cart}. There’s a seat that faces the back and then one that faces forward behind the driver’s seat {kind of a stretch golf cart}. So … the girls all run to sit on the backwards facing seat … and as luck would have it … the littlest one lost out on a seat! She was NOT a happy camper and refused to sit on Taylor’s lap.

Lesson learned … when the cart comes now, she literally books to the seat and jumps on. Fortunately, they’ve managed to squeeze all four of their bottoms onto the bench … but it’s too precious watching this littlest of the bunch fight her way to a seat.

Okay, so here she is actually waiting for the cart to come in the morning. Early bird gets the worm, right?

Last night we took a sunset catamaran cruise … it was beautiful and the girls loved it! Here’s Hunter on our way out to the catamaran.

Taylor and Piper settle in for the ride.

Wynter reflecting … don’t you wish you could know what goes through their minds?

Hunter and the “papa”razzi …

My gals at the end of the cruise on our way back to the beach.

After our cruise, the girls headed back to the room for a room-service dinner {their favorite}, while CJ and I went to dinner for date night … thank you Tay for watching the girls for us!  You can find more photos from the day here.

We’ve got another day here in paradise … it’s been a tremendous experience, it’s a beautiful country, the wildlife has been incredible … and the sun HOT! But as I said …

There’s no place like home!
