End of April

LTs bud stops by from time to time, always with some new fashion he likes to explain to me.

Some sunny hikes this spring.

B planted his garden.

Bri took LT on a trip to look at some schools.

B played piano in the arts fest.

Not many photos of easter, but our friends had us to an easter egg hunt and brunch.  Then we had our annual family easter party at Grandma and Papas.

We hosted an impromtu swim dinner and tie dying evening, of course Ads saved the day by helping make dinner for the crew.

This was sent to me one night...

Another swim team dinner (to go along with all these dinners have been meets also).

Average family dinner (B was hiding under the table)

A very wet cold hike with no views.

Both B and I performed in the Voices Rock performance last weekend.

B went on his first overnight school trip and had a blast!

El Yunque

Our first full day in Fajardo started with a 5:30 AM pick up for an adventure into El Yunque (the national rainforest in Puerto Rico).  My friend had done this excursion and said it was a highlight of their trip, turned out to be the same for us.  

We joined two other families and a guide who took us on a hike while also explaining the natural wonders of the forest including medicinal plant life and other interesting facts.  B LOVED this and led the way with the guide.

This was not a tour for the weak or fearful as we trudged through rivers, swung from ropes into the water, plunged 20 feet off rocks and rode a natural water slide.  It sure was a blast though.

The whole group that went with us.  We were the only ones there (which is why this tour leaves so early).  By the time we were headed home, the trails were packed and it was too crowded to really enjoy.  

 

Fajardo

After two days we left the island by ferry and came back to Fajardo where we stayed at a really fun resort for 3 nights.  The first day we took a funicular to the private water park for the hotel and enjoyed an afternoon of swimming and relaxing.

Ads and I did some research on restaurants in the area and found this yummy one.
