When my Mom and Dad found out that we were coming to Panama they decided to come and visit us.  They've been here for about 5 weeks now.  We've been having fun together with all sorts of adventures.  They've gone off and had their own adventures too - some pretty major ones!  The ones we're having together are much tamer.  We've rented a vehicle for the time that they are here so that we can get around easier.  We tried the bus all together and it was a very cultural experience - try sardines Panama style!

On another trip to Cerro Punta  we stopped at a Swiss style hotel called 'Hotel Bambito'.  You can wander the gardens and look at the ponds.  We stopped at 'The Wandering Sloth' for dinner on the way home.  We'll definitely visit there again.  So good!

Grandpa helped the kids get set up for getting their ducks.

My Mom and I visited Finca Dracula which is an orchid farm up in the town of Cerro Punta.  It's over 6,500 ft. and they grow some amazing orchids.  I went to take pics and Mom got to learn a bunch about orchids - it was a win/win.

One weekend we went down to David to their international fair.  It felt a lot like the Calgary Stampede.  We enjoyed wandering there.  From there we went on to Las Lajas to spend the weekend at the beach.  I'll do blog posts on those separately.  We were sad to see them go but we enjoyed our time together and will be excited to see them when we land in Canada again in July.
