Day 6 - Last day at the Villa - Final Vacation Post

Today started out to be a beautiful day. It was very hot and humid. Jakob is showing you the nice flower planters that are near the entrance of the villa. Playing on the tile to keep cool. Waiting to go for breakfast. We went out today to have breakfast with some friends.

Hanging with his cousins Caleb & Christian. It was red day today!

Beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. This view was from our breakfast retreat.

After breakfast the little kids all went to El Puente of Costa Rica. This is The Bridge which is now part of Zeeland Christian in Costa Rica. It is part of the Spanish Emersion program. They went to see the kids at the school. The rest of us went to see the JADE Project. The Jade is a condo complex that my grandpa is part of in Costa Rica. The JADE is the purpose that my father started coming down here and has now brought all of us down here. It is about 190 units to be completed in December 2010. They started selling them in October and have sold 50% of them. So far a great project. These pictures are the scaled replica of the project.

Really the pictures don't do justice. You will just have to make a trip down here to visit once it is completed.

We had no power for 6 hours today. They were working on some lines, so we just swam. Now a huge Thunderstorm came through and Jakob is taking a nap. Thought it would be a good time for the final post.

We fly out early tomorrow. We are looking forward to heading home. As you can see from the all the pics we had an awesome time. The weather was great. The family was fun. The accomdations relaxing.

Thanks for following our trip.

When we get back hoping to still get some Tulip Time pics of both the boys. Dying for a Funnel Cake.

Happy Mothers Day on Sunday!

All our love,

Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan
