The beaches of Santa Teresa & Montezuma

Leaving the beach near Jaco
I never thought 21 people and all the luggage would ever fit in this speed boat for the hour long ride to Montezuma but we did!

Here is the beach we 'play' at almost every day!

On our way to Rocamar for the beachside family picnic

Waterfalls at Montezuma by Tianna

March 2, 2012
Today we went to the Montezuma falls. First we went to the little ones which just had a bunch of tiny waterfalls everywhere around, and a deep hole that we cooled off in.  We couldn't even touch the bottom it was so deep.  then we hiked for about 10 minutes more and we saw a bunch a people jumping off an amazingly awesome ginormous waterfall. On the left side of the waterfall there was a really big rock (that Landon and me jumped off of) and on the right side was another rock (that Landon and me jumped off also). It was amazing!!!!!

after a whole month together 24/7 and I still love my brother!


Our own private pool









Should I jump??.....maybe not.....yes I will......maybe not......ok here goes!!

whooooohooooo LUIS!!!!!
