Arenal Lodge

Here are some pictures of us messing around on the grounds of the Arenal Lodge.

Jack was pretty tickled to find this butterfly on the bricks.  He is following right in his sisters' footsteps in tha the loves all of the critters!  He chased a lizard around the pool this morning, trying to catch it!

This is one of the best views we got of the volcano while we were here.  On Monday, it rained and rained but on Tuesday it was dryer and the clouds lifted a tiny bit... nothing like Mom and I saw three years ago (click here to see the blog post and pics from 2008) but still quite a sight to behold!

Here is the view from our deck.  The grounds of this place are a large part of why I enjoy Arenal Lodge so much.  You'll see in the next post how we took advantage after dark!!

Can you see the hummingbird among the purple flowers???

I was so tickled to get these photos!!!

More of the beautiful flowers on the grounds...

They have little ponds on the grounds and we saw many different sizes of tadpoles... teeny tiny all the way to frogs with tail nubs... Ella reache din with her net and snatched them out for us to look at!

Here's the inside of our room...

And Meg and Jack enjoying the swing on the deck...
