Volcán Irazú

Yesterday we took advantage of the beautiful weather and clear skies and spent our family day at a volcano.  Volcano Irazu is about an hour from where we live and it was breathtaking!  At the bottom of the main crater there is a lime green lake so it was an amazing site!  Thomas and Jacob had a lot of fun collecting little lava rocks and climbing on the bigger ones.  The drive up the mountain was just as enjoyable as the actual volcano because of all the green farmland and beautiful flowers.  We really enjoyed spending time as a family outside of the walls of our home. We have so much schoolwork to do each day so by the end of the week we are exhausted and ready to spend some "fun" family time with the boys.  The following are a few pictures from our adventure:                                       This was a "slum" area that we passed on the way

I never get tired of seeing the beauty of God's creation(the boys and the view)! Amazing!
We are still without a job and no real propects either. Sal will be taking his 2 final classes this semester and probably just look for a part time job for the time being. And once school is done we feel like we can fully dive into looking for something more permanent...although we still don't know what that may be. We both have peace about it...I know God will be clear when the time is right for now we know that school needs to get done. Miss you and we are praying for you guys!!!

Those are great pictures! Y como va el Espan~ol? It's hard to learn another language as we get older, but it is always a plus to at least give it a shot! (2 years in Germany and our German is still poor!) :)
