An Afternoon Delight

It has rained almost all day every day and even into the night since Sunday. This afternoon it let up and we were able to do something normal. Parker, Ally and Jaxson and I took a walk to a local gym to check it out. It was on a side of town we have never seen, so the scenery was a nice change as well. Ally even mentioned how pretty it was over there. It's not really, but just getting out of the house made even the city streets look beautiful. On our way back, we stopped at the local bakery for some juice and cookies. This is how I bribed them to take a walk with me. We all held hands as we were walking and it felt soooo good - soooo normal. It felt like it use to be when I was home with them all of the time. We talked and laughed and dodged stray dogs. We even stopped in a local park to play freeze tag. Parker has been waiting for 9 months to play freeze tag with me because I haven't been able too because of my leg. They even went down the big metal slide, but Parker said he couldn't because it "freaks him out." This afternoon was a little piece of heaven right here in Costa Rica. I couldn't help but to keep thanking God for this special time with them.
