Walks on Water

This Lizard is nicked named the Jesus Christ Lizard because it is able to walk on water or more so run on water.

                                           

There is goes! It looks really funny! We were unable to catch our own video of the lizard walking on water.

Bananas! The locals eat small bananas that taste different then the ones we eat. They export the other kinds of bananas.

                                 

At the fruit stand! There were a lot of these that we could stop at to buy fruit!

The pineapples were really good! They had huge pineapple farms!!

The watermelon was really yummy! I could not get enough of it!

Washington D.C

Our Vice-President Brent was unable to travel with us to Costa Rica because he had a great trip planed to explore and have adventures in the capital of the United States. Hopefully soon he will find time to tell us his stories of the capital city.

In Costa Rica they have a smaller monument just like the one in Washington D.C

Lunch in a Tree

Scared of heights?

They had a elevator like lifter, but they also had a system where you had to use your legs like a stair stepper. That is what dad and I used, it was really difficult.

In the Jungle, the Wild Jungle

Hiking in the lowland rainforest.

Survival

Barely survied the jungle.
On the last day, Saturday, We went mountain biking and on the last 200 meters of the ride we were going down hill on a rocky road and I lost control and fell. I had to go to the hospital.
