Both My Girls are Going to Costa Rica

I just put both my girls on a plane to Costa Rica w/ their missions team. I'm very excited to see what the younger daughter will experience as it's her 1st time. The older daughter is my other face painter & has a mini kit w/ some splits. She can even speak a few face painting related phrases

I'm missing them already...

Oh & my hubby's doctor had the wisdom to schedule his surgery for today (deviated septum).... and I have a restaurant gig tonight.... Big Day For Me... LOL

Wow that is a lot! I am going to Costa Rica in a few weeks Good luck today!

Hubby is home. He's in some pain, but other than that doing well.

Cool! What part of Costa Rica are you going to? The girls are in Aluijeta (spelling is beyond me:-)

They will have a blast! I have been there twice on missions trips. The people there are wonderful and very receptive, and the food is great.

LOL, that's exactly what Katie (the oldest) said. It's all about the food

Who did you go with? They'll be at 6:8 Ministries.

I went with Florida District Youth On Missions, through the United Pentecostal Church organization. The program is run by a minister who is good friends with my grandpa.

Tell your girls, if they get the chance, they need to spend some time with a few native women and learn how to cook authentic Costa Rican arroz con pollo. It's delicious. I got to cook it over an open fire last year, and I have made some on the stove several times since getting back to the states.

Katie cooks it all the time. She learned last time she was there

I am flying into Libera and staying at a resort in the northern part of the country. I'm so excited

What wonderful memories your daughters are making!!
