A Vacation To Remember

Time passes so quickly and he is growing up At thirteen, no longer a boy, not yet a man We surprised him by planning a special trip To have him to ourselves while we still can.. Adventure and excitement and something new Costa Rica has all of these things and more We hiked a volcano, saw monkeys and sloths Parasailing, zip lining, and green frogs galore.. We met local people and stopped by a school Bought trinkets and ate some wonderful things Watched the sun set over the emerald sea And thrilled as the toucans stretched their wings But the very best part of this week in the spring Was sharing these marvels with this special boy Our grandson glows when he speaks of that time We know he'll remember Costa Rica with joy 4/24/15
