In October we planned a 4 day vacation while the kids would be with us over the holiday. This vacation was a memory kind of trip! In 2003 when Denny was in CINCEL for 4 months to rebuild his Spanish, Ryan joined him for a month and became the youngest ever to receive a CINCEL certificate. He had a private teacher and then joined the larger classes for Grammar and Phonetics. Renee and I joined them for 2 weeks to enjoy their graduation and a vacation. Daddy took us to the rain forest, and the Arenal volcano. At that time it was still spewing lava and the red fire bathed the volcano every night. We stayed in a little bungalow at the base of the volcano.
The kids wanted to re-live that vacation so off we went for 4 days. It was a blast, especially having Lauren with us too. One of the 2003 highlights was riding horses up the base of the volcano. I will never forget how black our faces were at the end from all of the ash.
This time we rode to the Arenal river. The trip began at 1:00 and we came back to the stable at 5:00. I daresay I couldn't walk correctly for three days after! haha! I was hurting in places I didn't know existed!! What a memory, A great memory for all of us. When Renee marries, I sure do hope I have the energy to do it again!
