February Fun!!!

Sorry it's been a while. Ben was doing so good at the Patagonia post, it was hard to beat. lol. However, we have been having a ton of fun this past month. Here are a few things that we have been up to- in no particular order.

Ben and I decided after his test (two weeks ago) to go for a hike up the river near our house. We've been up this river, but decided to go all the way to the top, in attempt to get more of a workout. We didn't end up making it the rest of the way....and you'll find out why.

Cool vines that have crisscrossed over a rock. They climb up tress too. Ben loves taking pictures of them.

Me not wanting to go very far off the beaten path. But being an awesome wife and following Ben into the jungle about 50 ft.

Getting a quick pic of Ben.

And the main reason why we couldn't go any farther. There was a river dam that ended the trail. And there was a sign that said it was prohibited to go any farther. We thought about going farther....and we only made it 50 ft like I mentioned above.

Later that week we went to the beach with some friends. We went to Batibou Beach....which has become one of my favorites. The water is clear, the sand is nice, and it was just amazing. It was cloudy the whole time, yet Ben still got a little burnt. But it ended up being perfect weather and we got back to the van right before it started pouring.
The hike down to the beach.
Chelsea, Sarah, Me and Liz. Such fun friends. I love hanging out with them. Thanks Chelsea for the pics!
Ben climbing a palm tree. I keep telling him that I don't like it, but he continues to do it every time we are at the beach.


Me and my lover! I think we are pretty dang cute!
Us again.
Liz and Jason's baby Emmy. She is so cute. I love it whenever she pays attention to me.

Jason, Emmy, Liz, Ben and Me. Here we are squished in a car. It was a major holiday down here, called Carnival. So a small van was all we could get. Somehow we got 12 adults and children in there, not including the driver.
