July 3 Pictures!

Here are pics from July 3rd--this day we completed a reforestation project. Jorge said he'd check on the trees we planted in a year or two and let us know their progress. If all goes as planned, the Great Green Macaw will be feeding on the fruits of the planted trees!

We went zip lining at Sky Trek where we took a sky tram over the rooftop of the rainforest. It was amazing. The views of Arenal and Arenal Lake are absolutely breathtaking! Sorry no pictures! I was a wimp and didn't want to break my mother-in-law's camera!

After planting trees and zip lining, we went to our lodgement for the next two nights, which is Lodge de Volcan! We are literally at the foot of Arenal and we've gotten the chance to see and hear its activity! We are so lucky. 75% of the time Arenal is covered by clouds and visitors can't see it.

Yesterday was my birthday and the kids and the teachers and Meredith were great. They special ordered me a birthday cake (complete with candles). How thoughtful. This truly was one of the best birthdays I've ever had.
