Costa Rica: Wednesday, November 22nd-Tamarindo

Wednesday we headed first to Playa Avellanas.  The boys immediately ran out to start playing and tide pooling.  You can see them as specks in the background of the picture.
Brielle loved the horses on the beach.  They seemed to wander freely, but were very friendly so I assumed were owned by someone.
We visited Lola's restaurant, named after their resident pig, "Lolita" who isn't very 'ita' :)
We enjoyed smoothies on the beach, always a perfect treat.
And also ate some lunch before heading off to continue further north.
in Tamarindo we saw a lot of howler monkeys while we waited to go out on our boat ride
Larry had arranged for a Catamaran experience for all of us.  It was another gorgeous day to be out on the water.
Preston loved wearing sunglasses.  He said no one looked quite as cool as he did.  
Ethan loved being able to help reel in a couple of fish.
and Brielle loved being able to relax with Gramma
We went out for about an hour to a cove where we all jumped in to snorkel, kayak and paddle board.  Brielle had some amazing stand up paddle board skills.  Preston loved the snorkeling.  I was happy to be off the boat for a while as I'd forgotten to take motion sickness meds before heading out and was quite seasick the whole time. 
We all enjoyed some great pizza that night at Kon Tiki--recommended by the owners of the house were staying in.  It was served with a pretty spicy sauce that Preston was licking off his plate.
