Tamarindo

Look Mama!
Yep, doesn't get any funner than this.....

A rare moment of playing together on the beach.
Aspen loved the ocean in Tamarindo. Much gentler surf than up where we are in Ocotal. We went further down the beach where the beach was much more crowded, and Aspen made friends with a Tico boy on vacation from San Jose (capitol of Costa Rica). He was just so happy to see another kid that he didn't care if he knew what he was saying :)

We took a day trip down to Tamarindo on Sunday. Aspen has been hit and miss on liking the beaches here. The surf is pretty heavy up where we are in most areas. We did find a great beach in Playa Hermosa (2 towns up), but when we went out on the beach, the sand was so hot that it burned our feet terribly. Aspen didn't know what to do when that happened and he just froze. It was horrible. Mark was in a meeting and not there. I had Journey in my arms and had to run across the sand as fast as I could until I reached the water. Aspen just stood in the burning hot sand screaming. Ever since then, he hasn't wanted to go onto the sand, even with his shoes on.
