This morning we drove back through La Fortuna to the Arenal National Park to go on a hike to see the old lava flow. The spot we visited was from 1992.
The kids did great hiking the 4km Las Coladas trail, though Penny did need some shoulder rides. The big kids wanted to check if Pat can still carry them on his shoulders. Not for too long, but he can still do it.
At the Arenal lookout, the volcano was mostly hiding behind the clouds. We did catch a better glimpse of it on the drive home.
Penny wanted us to take a picture of her "P" she made out of a stick.
We came back to our house for a swim and a wander around the property. The place we are staying is an old farm that was turned into tourist lodging. There are about 8 little houses, 2 pools, a pond and trails through the forest.
We found a giant rope swing and even saw two sloths. The sloths were sleeping, so we set a timer for 1 hour to go back and check on them.
Penny is getting pretty confident in the water.
Later in the afternoon, we went to check out El Salto, a public swimming hole with a rope swing.
Pat was the only one brave enough to go off the big rope.
Oscar especially loved playing in the water, jumping in off of some of the smaller rocks and swinging on a vine.
Even Penny got in on some of the jumping action.
