I know you are having problems watching the video I made from Costa Rica. After a bit of research, I discovered that the music soundtrack I used for the video (\”Walking on Sunshine\”) is not approved content for YouTube based on copyright laws. Lovely. I;\’ll know better next time.
So here\’s the video without the music and just sing along to yourself. I\’ve also updated the link in the original blog post. Enjoy!
And here\’s the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uxF0d8p0WM
We had a great week in Costa Rica. Made even better by spending a couple of days with Brad at the end of the week. Although there is quite alot to do in Costa Rica, we spent our days at the pool, beach, or in the little town. The pattern goes: beach, pool, chill in room, taxi to town, dinner, pool, chill in room, bed. Our days were pretty predictable and pretty relaxing.
We stayed in a condo on the south end of Jaco Beach. The south end was more quiet and also had the best beach and best surfing. The beach itself was long and wide with a very soft brown sand that almost looked muddy. The ocean water was bathwater warm with a very sandy bottom. We were all swimming in the ocean every day. Quinn loved \”fighting\” the waves and if he got knocked down he would get up with a smile ready for the next one. Quinn had a great time on the boogie board too. He took to the water like a fish and improved his swimming skills over the week.
Don surfed every day and Brad joined him when he arrived. The best surfing time was 1 – 2 hours before high tide which fell between 4 – 6 pm. On the last day the guys got up at 5:30 am to catch the early morning high tide. Both Don and Brad did really well surfing and were carving it up!
I put together a little video with pictures and videos from our trip. This is my first attempt at an iMovie so please forgive it\’s rookie appearance. Here\’s a direct link to the video where I think you can watch it in a larger size. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uxF0d8p0WM
We\’ve been on a wait list for a local gymnastics class with Quinn\’s school buddies B & B. Quinn finally got in to the class and is having so much fun. All the kids love their teacher Jorge who is a great big goofball and the three Sundance boys love having a fun morning together.
Quinn\’s favorite part of the class is doing the zip line. He likes to do it backwards!
This class keeps them moving for 45 minutes straight and Quinn always finishes with a red face and a sweaty head. A great activity for the indoor winter months.
