Day 4 - Swinging In the Jungle

We traveled to the Jungle today (really yesterday as I type the post) to do a ropes course. It was a great time. Jakob stayed by a sitter and had fun playing with his cousins. They own a hotel so they swam in the pool for 2 hours and played and played.
Sorry I had to stop updating for a second we had a group of monkeys that I had to go see. They are so cute. I will post those pics tomorrow or tonight.
This container is full of Palm Nuts. They make Palm Oil and Coconut Oil down here. There is a very large factory. They are collecting them from the trees right now. Before we were dropped in the jungle we went to a butterfly farm. They were beautiful.
Here is Rick in his gear ready to go.
Here is part of the group on a platform. We went on some ziplines, repelling, and rope swing. The guides were really fun.
Mary and "super" Mario hang out before the next jump.
After the jungle it was back to the pool.

Back at home Ethan is still doing well. G-Gram came home from Florida. Ethan had a chance to meet her for the 1st time yesterday. So sad I missed it, but very glad they could meet.


He was able to spend some time with Great Aunt Marcia too.
He also got to meet Great Aunt Mary for the 1st time too.
Everyone is still doing well. Only a few more days left and we will be back home.
We love it here, but ready to see baby Ethan.
Hugs & Kisses,
Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan
