Great time with some cool guests

This is Mike...
We had some wonderful guests over here last week which made accommodating them a breeze. All of the kids were all quite emotional when it came time to leave. I guess its a good sign when everyone wanted to spend more time together even though it was time to go. Below are the pictures and videos from their, and our, week of fun.

In the video above, my girls are doing a zipline section with a guide. Sierra was videoing the action with her GoPro helmet and even gave her thumbs up during the ride. Zoe on the other hand enjoyed the carefree ride giggling and laughing down the line.



Below are some pictures of us ziplining near Mombacho National Park.

Elise could not make it out because she had a stomach bug.

Below are some pictures and a video of our day at Laguna de Apoyo.

I am holding the paddle board so the kids can try to knock each other off of it.

Zoe diving to depths unknown in the crystal clear lake.

Tim was very happy to have some family time with his wife and kids.

Tim and Lia twisting the board so the kids would fall off into the lake.

Above, is a video of Sierra demonstrating how to jump off the floating dock (the sound quality is poor because the GoPro was in it's waterproof case)



Below are some pictures of Granada and the neat things to do and see around town.

The kids thought they were just having fun but in reality they were making memories too.

 Below are some picture of our trip to Masaya volcano.
