Why We Put Up with the Frozen North

What they never tell you is that it is beautiful up here when it turns frigid... these pictures are of the lake (taken from safely inside the house) over a few days when it seemed extra blue and moody...

Costa Rica!!

Sam and I took a long weekend trip to Costa Rica, leaving the kids behind for a change with their GrandDad. So this pic below is NOT one of the kids.

We stayed at the relatively new Four Seasons, about a 45-minute drive from Liberia (so we were in the very north-west corner of the country, nearly to Nicaragua). The resort was beautiful of course!

We rode horses, oxen, and then went on a death-defying canyon tour which featured zip-lining, rock climbing, screaming, rappelling, vomiting, swinging, puking, and swimming.
