PARENT DAY

OK, Yes, we agree with you all! At the rates that our posts go up...well.. Delinquency, plain and simple! But... but...! No excuses...Ha!

Here we are on a family day that we had about a week and a half ago. They are redoing a section of Boca del Rio, where we live, to make it more tourist friendly. We aren't sure if we agree with the changes, but hey, we aren't part of the deciding committee so PTL! HA! No, its just that it had a really cute, quaint, little fishing town feel to it before they started "upgrading". Coming here as tourists at first, it was something that we thought was rather authentic and picturesque; tranquil in its own way.
Once they are done we will be posting some before and after pictures for you to see what we mean. Not that we can say they are doing a bad job. It will most likely be nice. Just a very different feeling to it.

Anyway we had a great 3 hour walk. We were all exhausted by the time we made it back home.
On the way out we spotted some bright green iguanas in some trees so we had to stop and take a look. There were about three or four. As children will be, they each had to see all of them for themselves so we were there for a while...

Here we were able to capture one of them on camera.

They added this old, really old, navy ship that they are working on to make a tourist museum attraction. Somehow the ugly greyness of it just doesn't fit in. But, I have to say, that the kids loved it. Especially Patrick!



Here you can see how they are working in the background to make a park. What Hana is standing on used to all be ocean front. They filled it all in in order to make this park-plaza type area.

Here are the Kindern...


Here is Brendon trying to "real in" this little fishing boat. He had to fight it out with the waves which were pulling it out. We were just glad he didn't get rope-burn. He really tried hard.

And yes, like any good boy, each dog had to get fully and closely inspected. We only caught this first "victim" on camera.




He then wanted to get his feet wet so we let him wade in the water. He went in dry,...
And came out drenched...He loved every bit of it...


Here is a photo of the "Squints". The Log was not to be passed up with out a family group picture...even if all you ended up seeing were lines... instead of eyes and mouths!


We had fun. Although, after three hours, I don't think they will want to do that again in the near future.
