Mother and Son in Costa Rica

I took my animal loving, adventurous, knowledge-thirsty son to Costa Rica for a week this summer -- we had the time of our lives. Most of the time we were too busy living our adventures to stop and take a picture -- a night hike through the rainforest with sloths, tarantulas, and vipers, watching giant sea turtles lay eggs, a boat safari, river rafting -- but from the photos I did manage to take, you can see plainly the joy this trip brought to my delightful boy.
