not much to say

Well yesteraday we went to the finca de mariposas, or the butterfly farm. As soon as we got there my camera died...it was awesome haha. Everyone else took lots of pictures so ill end up with some pictures of all the butterflies. School went pretty good and we had cooking class where we made some tortilla thing. In class we also got to make marshmellows covered in condensed milk and coconut. It was interesting. After we went to the movies!! it was so much fun, we saw kung fu panda in spanish and we all understood it. Crazy thing too, we saw Liz Mitchell, a girl that we all went to junior high with. She goes to St. Marys now and is down here helping out. It was soooo random. Everything went super fabulous last night until i got home. I made kate watch me open my gate to my house and then she left once i got in. But i still had to open the front door. It would not open, I tried like a million times no joke. Finally i had to go and knock on my mama ticas room. It was funny cause I knew it would freak her out and I felt bad. But i got in!!

This morning I woke up at 5 am to the rooster. It was so early and I really wasnt able to go back to bed..which was awesome. We went and helped out at a school today for really unfortunate kids. I was paired with two boys named christopher. They were very cute, one was 5 and the other was 10. Weplayed games and sang songs but it was sad to think about what they would do when we left. I drew the little christoper a picture and he loved it and carried it around. Soon we left and headed to school. Today at school was soo fun. We talked about a lot of stuff and then our teacher told us she was 2 months pregnant!!! it was soo cute. She told us to not tell any of the other teachers cause she doesnt want them to know.

These next few days should be awesome. Tomorrow we go to Cafe Britt and then this weekend we go to the beach!! I cant wait im so exctied. Hope everyone is having funn times. I miss you all xoxox

Woah!

hey everyone!!
first off, mom and dad i have a library book with me that needs to be renewed. haha i forgot to do it before i left and today is the day its due. i have been having trouble getting on blogspot and google for the past few days. and todays the first time i could tell you. Also kelsey and i were looking at the dance team schedule and im wondering how much of that am i going to be able to do. I love you!

Ok so to the real stuff...The last time i wrote was before our trip to Arenal. The hotel was awesome and we had so much fun. The hotel had all these cool hot spring type pools and they had two water slides. Then at night we went to an actual hot springs swim park. So awesome and dinner was a buffet. I don´t want to complain but i am getting tired of beans and rice. So then the next morning we woke up pretty early and walked down like 500 stairs to a beautiful waterfall. we swam and just hung out. There is no reason to worry that were going to be out of shape when we get back, we have done so much walking everywhere. We checked out of our hotel and headed for heredia. It took a really long time but we got here and its awesome.
My family is awesome, i almost feel like i am at home in oregon. Both my parents work a lot but theyre home when I need them. The kids love their mickey and minnie mouse dolls and they liked their t-shirts. I ended up giving the little girl the minnie mouse dress...she loves it, all yesterday she wore it. The family has wo dogs and one of them just had puppies. Very Cute! My room is pretty small, but there are no bugs and i LOVE it. I get frosted flakes every morning and its yummy. School is interesting but im learning and i like it. Yesterday we went on a boat tour and we saw crocodiles, a sloth, and many birds and monkeys. I tried to write in my blog yesterday but the website wouldn´t work for me. Lo siento. Every night goes really well i eat, watch the news, bathe and then lay in bed and read till i pass out. Tomorrow we go to a butterfly garden. Which bailey admitted to today that she is afraid of butterflies. This is pretty funny because when we were doing the canopy tour we all were saying how scared we were and she told us to rationalize our fears. This is typical bailey haha. Now were telling her she needs to reationalize her fears of butterflies. After that we go to school and then we have a cooking class. I wont be using the computer tomorrow because it will be really dark for us to be walking arounf heredia but maybe the next day i will have time.

I love everyone and miss you all so much. Im almost ready to come home!
