Costa RIca

Here's a few pictures from our Costa Rica trip.  We stayed a few days at the Arenal Volcano, which is behind us in one of the pictures.  WE went with Chris and Kris, Brian and Buffy Kraft, and our friends here from the "ward" Darin and Lisa Rentz.  We never actually saw the top of the vocano due to those clouds, but it was pretty awesome anyways....
Here is the house we rented during our time at Arenal.  It was 5 bedrooms and cook/host/butler included.  He made us some fabulous meals, including blueberry tilapia, some Italian feast, and ham stuffed chicken.  I'm sure there are exotic names for all that, but I'm not that cultured.
Heres us all on the deck at the house.  The views overlooked Lake Arenal, which was beautiful.
Mi esposa y yo.  OK, my Spanish is junky, but you know who we are. 
After a few days at the volcano doing hot springs, zip lines, and relaxing, we went to Jaco, a beach town famous for it's surfing.  
We went to Manuel Antonio National Park, which is where Jurassic Park was filmed  Here we are on a beach there. 
Another beach at the national park.  pretty crowded, eh?
SPider monkey!
3 toed sloth.  and baby. 
Lawson girls at the smoothie shop on the beach
The smoothie shop.  We amicably re-named it McRoberts smoothies because Chris' dream is to own the place and live on the beach.

This is us at the Marriott in Los Suenos.  It was such a beautiful resort.
So there you go.  a few of the thousand pictures I have yet to go through and make look better...
