Summer Fun

 As we count down the last few days of summer break, I thought I'd share a few of the fun activities we've been partaking in so far.

It had been a few years since we played mini golf, so we decided that would make for a great family and budget friendly day out.

Right across the way is the trampoline park, Jump Center, which luckily for us was open that day. Most other trampoline parks are still closed due to the Coronavirus restrictions in Costa Rica so my boys had been waiting an entire year and a half to get their jump on. To say they were excited is an understatement.

Whenever we're on that side of San Jose, we always like to make a pit stop at one of our favorite places to grub,which is Olive Garden. Eating out as a family is one of our favorite activities to partake in and now that things are a little better, going out to eat is becoming more acceptable. Our dessert that evening was the always delicious zeppoli Italian donuts with chocolate dipping sauce.

The next activity we decided on as a family was roller skating. Skate World skating rink is super affordable and also pretty close to our house, which is a huge bonus. Plus roller skating is a fun and easy way to enjoy summer break.

The exciting part about not having school is time for more parties and this year, parties are back on the schedule which is very exciting. Spending time together with family at a birthday party is always a good idea.

And then there are the days we just want to go to the mall to browse and walk around and enjoy our time out without having any plans. With the world starting to open back up, most places are also opening their doors in the hopes of getting back to normal. This particular day, the arcade was finally open so we had to stop in for some fun and games.

I also took the boys to Chuck E Cheese as another fun family day activity but alas, I have no pictures. However, I took a quick snap afterwards at Dennys where we went for dinner.

We are definitely enjoying our impromptu summer break, trying to do as many fun activities as we can before the kids go back to school. We have one final activity planned before life goes back to "normal" and we have to get back to our regularly scheduled routines.
