Sierpe River in Costa Rica



This is my favorite picture of all of my Costa Rica shots. We took a 12 hour trip with the two babies. From our house in Ojochal, drove down to Sierpe river and were out on the river by 6 am... where I took this shot. We had a 2.5 hour boat ride down to Corcovado at the Sirena station and then several hours of hiking in the park. We saw 3 types of monkeys in one day and on the boat ride home, saw a momma and baby humpback whale in the water. The babies were awesome and we carried them the whole way in our slings. What a fabulous experience!



Here are some of the monkey shots and the crocodiles. There is a river that you have to cross if you are hiking through Corcovado that you must cross at low tide because of the sharks and crocodiles. Click for more on Corcovado.

We're Back from Costa Rica





We have returned home from 2.5 weeks of family vacation in Costa Rica. I'm in the midst of sorting through a ton of photos but thought I'd share a few to get the ball rolling again. The monkeys were plentiful, the beaches beautiful and the birds were kind to show us their feathers and faces. We saw Toucans at our house, Macaws on the hikes and even the famous Resplendent Quetzal. More on those to come... Check out the video of Meghan holding the snake. It's a Boa Constrictor! Yes, I know it's sideways but I'm new at this whole video editing then and forgot and turned my camera sideways when filming.
