We took this little plane from Placencia to Belize City on the way home rather than the three hour bus ride. It was worth it. Mom rode co-pilot and the flight was super smooth.
Wyatt and Caden
My one man show finally came to a big screeching halt. On September 10th my Mom went to the hospital and a week later she came home with my new apprentice Caden. Hopefully he will be easy to train, and in a few short months he will be just like me.

We stopped in Glenwood Springs on the way home to visit the adventure park since the last time we were there, most of the rides were closed. I wanted a do-over. Mom and I rode this swing behind us twice. The first time we sat facing towards the mountain so that when we swung out off the cliff we were facing down. It was crazy! The second time we faced the other way. We also rode the roller coaster which feels like you go off the mountain edge. It was fun, but not nearly as much fun as the swing. We also rode the mine drop again and then headed back home.

My mom's cousin, Summer died May 1. She went back for the funeral. Summer and her sisters had been talking a few weeks before she died about what they wanted their funerals to look like (not sure why). Summer wanted everyone to dress up in bright colors and she wanted fried chicken and cotton candy, so that's what happened. This is Aunt Carol Ann running the cotton candy machine.
This was where we got out off the river. This bridge is the only way to a village on the other side of the river. The kids who live here attend school on this side of the river and have to cross this bridge every day to get to school. Some of them cross on horseback, some cross by foot and some cross by motorcycle. We saw a motorcycle come across as we were getting ready to leave.
We went rafting on the Savegre River. It was a long drive on a single car wide gravel road for most of it. We passed really interesting houses and villages. Our guide was really great and is on the Costa Rican national rafting team. Wyatt opted not to come with us and instead stayed behind at the hotel.
