Matt arrived on Saturday and the kids were SO excited! We enjoyed exploring the area near our condo. We went to Playa Flamingo, a very close beach (2km) from our condo. The waves were pretty strong so we didn't get to swim a ton, but the kids enjoyed running from the waves and building sand castles.
These pics are some of my favorite. Pure joy and laughter caught on camera!
We hung out at Playa Flamingo most of Sunday afternoon. We were lucky to have overcast skies to provide relief from the heat and humidity!
Sunday evening we drove to Tamarindo (~30 min drive) to a restaurant called Pangas, on Playa Tamarindo. Most nights we have been eating in, so it was nice to eat out and enjoy some local seafood! Matt ordered sea bass, I ordered lobster -both caught fresh the same day. The kids ate fish sticks and rice. The views were incredible and so was the food. So glad we made the journey! (I call it a journey because the roads here are not marked, not lit, very very bumpy, and fraught with crazy bikers, hitch hikers, pedestrians, drivers, chickens, cows, and horses.)

Hammocks the kids enjoyed while we waited for our food (Kara not pictured because she was pooping):
Sunset at the end of the evening (sun sets at 6:30pm):
One side-note benefit of the restaurant is the owner/waiter spoke great English so we got exactly what we wanted instead of a version of what we thought we ordered but really did not :-)
