November 16, 2011

How sweet! Grandma and Grandpa were with Tehja and Taylor on this Sweet 16 Day.

In one way is was a HAPPY day, but in another way, it was a SAD day.

We were happy because we were with our grandchildren.

But we were sad because we had to say GOODBYE to our grandchildren.  We spent seven wonderful days together at Club Coco in Costa Rica, but then everyone had to go back home.

We had so much fun with you!! We loved it when you knocked at our door in the morning and asked, “Can we hang with you?” We loved helping you with your homework, swimming in the pool, walking along the beach, zip-lining, going out for lunch, getting hugs, and just “hanging” with you.

Here are a few reminders of the fun we had:

Four by four, the little one stopped to shut the ??

Nine by nine, the little one stopped to step out of ??
Ten by ten, the little one said “Let’s do it again!"

For the card trick, if these are the cards left, what three cards are missing?

7 … 4 … Jack … King

And now we have some news for you: We are not selling CanKata after all! So we hope you come to Thailand someday for a great adventure and to practice up on everything you learned in Costa Rica.

Bye for now, wee ones, and we hope you had lots of fun telling your friends all about your trip.

All our love,
Grandma and Grandpa Sailor
