When we arrived at Manuel Antonio we went straight to the National Park and hiked into the beach. On our hike we saw sloths, deer, lots of lizards, raccoons and so many monkeys. The beach is absolutely breathtaking. Rocks jetting out encasing the most perfect cove. Turquoise water declaring the glory of God. I feel like I keep saying this but it was almost too much! The sound of so many girls giggling and squealing and running with all they had into the water. What a gift to be part of this trip!!!
We spent a few hours relaxing in the sun and swimming in the warm and clear waters. At one point a monkey friend came to visit and ran with gusto to the line of towels and stole Hannah V's bag of Cheetos. He knew what he wanted and he grabbed it to share with his friend. Hilarious and scary. Hahahaaaa. After we had all of the sun we could take (and more than we could take for some haha) we went to eat at an open air restaurant. PIZZA AND BURGERS!! It was a nice break from rice and beans.
Our devotion from this morning was out of Psalm 19 where The Message version says:
Gods glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon...their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded. But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth everywhere.
If ever those silent voices were screaming out it is here in this place. The gifts from the greatest giver on full display. I could cry typing it.
And now...breakfast from our personal chef!!!
Love these updates. Again thank you, thank you, thank you taking this time with our girls and making memories for a lifetime. You ladies are wonderful. xxxooo
