Vacation pictures continued...

I have FINALLY added the pictures from my camera from our trip to Costa Rica then on to Panama.

Simret & Dylan in the airplane getting ready to leave Denver to Costa Rica- it was midnight and I was already praying that Simret would sleep some during the flight...

Costa Rica

Simret was so happy to be back on "her beach" again.

The good thing about traveling through the night is that we were on the beach by 10:30AM. Simret did great on the plane and did go to sleep for about 3 hours of the 5 hour flight.

One of the first things that we had to do was visit "the sisters" - friends that Simret made when we were here 3 months ago. They acted surprised to see her again. Simret is the one in the blue.

...our first sunset- just as beautiful as I remembered!

playing with "the sisters" again.

glasses...

check this outfit out...with another pair of glasses. Accessories are VERY important to Simret.

More fun on the beach watching her brothers.

there were 5 large bon-fires on the beach the night of Ethan's birthday- St. Patrick's Day.

Simret at the fire with one of "the sisters" Nayr.

Ethan's birthday. Simret sang "Happy Birthday" to Ethan at least once a day after this night. She had a small crush on Ethan. Dylan was a bit nervous...

My bike for the week that we road around town with.

Daddy FINALLY came and joined us on vacation!!!

Panama

walking across the boarder between Costa Rica and Panama (a bridge with large holes in it that we had to carry our stuff over- I carried my bags, Simret, and took pictures.
