Brothers are Crazy!

These two brothers are the best of friends / frenemies. They are constantly playing together, but also constantly piling on each other and rolling around giggling and wrestling and just generally being silly together. Whenever we go to dinner, we have to make an effort to ensure that they do not sit together to avoid embarrassment or wayward elbows and uncontrolled giggling.

Does anyone else have this issue with their sons and/or brothers? Is there ever a moment when they are not piling each other?

Costa Rica: Our Favorites -- Pura Vida!

Image
Our family had a wonderful and educational trip to Costa Rica, complete with an incredible variety of adventurous outdoor activities, animal sightings and cultural immersion. We recognize that we were only tourists, but we were able to show our kids many of the contrasts of life in Costa Rica vs their home in California and we were able to give them a taste of what life is like for people in other countries.  As part of our family retrospective, we tabulated the favorite activities, places and hotels for each family member -- potentially as a source of inspiration for others considering a visit to the country. Favorite Activities : Our top two activities were the Brisa Elegante pirate ship voyage where we saw humpback whales and walked the plank on our way to go snorkeling (everyone's top activity except Lorelei's) and the Venado Caves, where we went spelunking under a waterfall and saw alien-looking scorpion spiders. Waterfall rappelling and speed boat snorkeling came in third

Ziplining like Superman and Swinging like Tarzan (By Elliott)

Image
Hey, it’s Elliott, and I am going to tell you how fun it is to zip line. I know that I already did a post about zip lining, but I had to do this one too because it was way better and I got some good videos with my go-pro. Half of the videos are mine, and half of them are Dad’s because he is obsessed with videos and pictures. Anyways, I liked this zip line better because there was more zip lines and they were longer. They were a bit slower than the other zip lines, but that was good because I got better videos with my go-pro. Some Videos of our Ziplining: Elliott and Lorelei on the Superman Zipline Dad on the Superman Zipline The Entire Family On a Zipline Dad on the Tarzan Swing There were also other thing that were not just zip lines, like a Tarzan Swing. The Tarzan Swing was just what it sounds like: a Tarzan Swing. Basically, it is a rope that you hold on to and there is a guy that pushes you. The very beginning is SOOOO scary though. You just step off a very high platform and hope

Cave Spelunking (by the kids)

Image
Hi! This is Elliott, and I will tell you a bit about spelunking. I saw lots of animals, like bats, spiders, a tarantula, lots of crickets, and a scorpion spider. The crickets had very long spider legs, and they were very creepy. We also had to squeeze through a foot long and a foot wide hole.  It was a tight squeeze, but everyone except mom fit. Then, we had to climb up a three foot wall into a small room. Finally, me and dad had to slide on our bellies for three or four feet to get out.    We also saw the oldest formation in the cave, the altar. Our guide said that it is more than twenty three million years old! We also saw the Papaya, another cave formation.  This is Wesley: My favorite thing I did was seeing the spiders crickets and bats. Hey, it’s Lorelei! Cave spelunking was fun, even though at parts it seemed like you were going to be stuck underground for the rest of eternity. I found the cave crickets insanely interesting, despite the fact that they were creepy looking. The bat
