Costa Rica: Thursday, November 23rd-Thanksgiving

Thursday was another beautiful day at the beach.  I loved that the water wasn't cold in Costa Rica. 
Everyone spent time out in the water boogie boarding, jumping waves, swimming and also tide pooling and playing in the sand.
Preston is light enough to catch every wave and he loves it.  He would go out again and again.  He loved the big waves also.  They were about 6 feet here, and get bigger later in the season.  They told us this beach gets crowded with surfers in February and March.
After a few hours playing at the beach we went back to the house.  I napped in the hammock (most relaxing thanksgiving ever!) while everyone else swam in the pool and watched some football.
We then drove over to the JW Marriott for a walk on the beach at sunset before dinner.
It was so fun to spend time together as a family.  We have so much to be thankful for, and enjoyed spending the day to celebrate our blessings.
The dinner buffet was impressive.  This is just showing the dessert display!  
We did have turkey there, but it wasn't quite the same as thanksgiving at home.  
We loved it, but still all decided we'd do a make up Thanksgiving when we got back.
