Costa Rica Vacation, Part III

Since we are on vacation, we took it easy the last couple of days and enjoyed ourselves. We went swimming in the pool, walks in the rain, to an observation deck in town with some great views and today, we went to a Zoo in nearby La Garita.
 Amelia loves relaxing in the hammock swing on the back porch. It is very comfortable.

 
The two little ones are showing off their new headgear. Aren't they adorable? Elliot was 10 month old today and he doesn't look and act like a baby anymore. Please, stop growing up so quickly.
The Zoo called Zoo Ave, is actually an animal rescue and rehabilitation place. It was very nice to walk thru a jungle-like environment and looking at animals that are home to Costa Rica's bountiful landscape. Since the nearest National Parks are at least an hour away from here, this is the next best thing to Costa Rica's wild habitat that you usually find in the jungle. And best of all, it wasn't crowded at all.
 
 
The zoo also offered Canopy Zip Lining, which Costa Rica is known for and I always wanted to try. So with the blessings of my loving husband I tried it. And it was great going 50+ kmh  down the jungle. There were a total of 3 zip lines and while the first one had the shortest distance, it was the most scariest as I didn't know what to expect. But the feeling of flying thru the woods was phenomenal and I definitely want to do that again.
For sure, we had some fun and relaxing days. And I loved that I'm able to spend quality time with my husband and kids. After all, it doesn't matter where we are or what we do as long as we do it together.
