Family Joy

Precious family time becomes more difficult to find as the family ages but when we do, celebration of life follows. While in Costa Rica exploring the culture, food, and language, we found the 'Pura Vida' mentality surrounded our family with every person we met. The gentle waves rolling in with the warm colors of sunset surrounding us led to the leap of joy.
