Costa Rican Family Adventure: La Paz Waterfall Gardens with Grammy and Grampy

There is no doubt that La Paz Waterfall Gardens is one of our favorite places to visit....mostly because it is a great place to see (and sometimes hold) our favorite Costa Rican animals (and be guaranteed to see them!). This time (we were also here 3 years ago) going with Grammy and Grampy was extra special. Here are some photos of our day and the animals we encountered. If you are ever in the area...we highly recommend this activity and be sure to include the buffet lunch in your ticket! Yum!

Entering the gardens....

Look at all the things there are to see!

This is Zack 3 years ago holding a Toucan and then again this year (that's William, age 3, in the brown shirt...this year he would not go near the Toucan!)....yep, Zack is still wearing beanies!

I got up the nerve to hold one this time! It was super cool and they were really light and gentle.

He took food out of my hand, too! Toucan's are just beautiful and all with different markings....

Everyone watching the Scarlett Macaws....

Just beautiful...each has their own coloring and markings....In flight!

Feeding the Scarlett Macaws was super fun...they were very gentle and they had black tongues!

there were thousands of them flying everywhere!
