April 2023 -Caguas Botanical Garden, Paddleout Celebration, Butterfly Festival
April 2023 was a busy month as well. Lots of fun times on the farm and a few adventures of of town such as to the beautiful Caguas Botanical Garden. We also enjoyed some times with friends including some who came to visit us from Colorado. Unfortunately a friend of ours died while surfing and we attended her paddleout ceremony. Life has such a strange highs and lows. Aeden is growing up quite the jungle boy and can catch just about anything around the farm from chickens to geckos and spiders. We also enjoy going to our friends annual butterfly festival in support of the endemic butterfly Atlantea Tulita.
We love and miss you Toni!
March 2023- Hatillo, Rincon, Guanica and Farm Life
By March we were back into the swing of our little island life. We visited a quaint spot in Hatillo called Villa Madera and nearby spots in Utuado, went to the Volkis Fest and other car shows, kept growing lots of flowers and fruits, and took a trip to some new beaches and spots in Guanica. A nice month in Puerto Rico!
February 2023: Trip to Colorado
In February 2023 we took a trip to Colorado for my brother’s wedding. We normally wouldn’t choose to go back to Colorado and especially wouldn’t choose the coldest month of the year, but it was for a very happy reason.
Aeden enjoyed the air travel and seeing snow for the first time. He also liked being with his family who has missed him and us quite a bit. We were happy to catch up with all our friends as well. We tried to do fun inside things like visit the Denver Aquarium, the Greeley Train Museum, the science museum in Fort Collins, the mall and of course lots of restaurants that we had missed (I think we actually gained weight in that month’s time!!).
The wedding in Breckenridge was beautiful and we really liked the gorgeous cabin we stayed in. Congratulations to Justin and Aundrea!
Of course it was quite the shock to the system to go from the tropical warm days to bitter cold so we were very happy and grateful to return once again to our now beloved home!
