Apenas el dos de nosotros, tú y yo (Just the two of us, you and I)  -  The modified words to the song below are self-explanatory once you read them....

The Abuelos left this morning back to their casa in Arizona. Kendall and I went to the aeropuerto this morning with them and waited until their plane took off.  We now know about the $29 departure tax that each person has to pay and the layout of the aeropuerto. We left in a taxi back to Suites Cristina at 12:30pm.  Kendall reacted much better than I expected.  He was calm and understood everything.   Maybe because I promised him a sopresa en la tarde (surprise in the afternoon)! Or perhaps it was that we are going to visit the Abuelos in Arizona in May, which is 2 months away!

It was very windy and chilly today so the pool or a boat ride, which I was planning as the sopresa, was a no go.  So we went to the Escazu Multiplaza to find a sopresa and we did!  Kendall picked out a remote controlled helicopter (Red Bull BO-105 CB CX RTF Helicopter). Luckily, the folks in the hobby store spoke English and Espanol and a boy close to Kendall's age was showing him how to use the controller.  This helicopter requires 2 hands, much coordination and moving slowly.  Kendall actually crashed the helicopter a few times in the store since he tries to move the gas quickly but they worked with us for about an hour before we left the store - thank goodness!   The Blade® Red Bull CBCX has a state-of-the-art 2.4GHz control with advanced Blade engineering and electronics.  I'm sure it's easy to fly after you practice!  We practiced only hovering today. Add on playing in arcade and winning prizes, helado and playing in a play area and we both enjoyed the afternoon.



Tomorrow, we will practice all the remote controlled devices...

Buenas Noches!

MODIFIED Just The Two Of Us Lyrics (Will Smith's version)
Songwriters: BILL WITHERS, WILLIAM SALTER, RALPH MACDONALD
Just the two of us
From the first time I even knew about you and they told me your name, I knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm
Although questions arose in my mind, would I be enough to teach you right from wrong and to stand up for yourself and others
The night before we became a family, I don't think one wink I slept I felt my heart melt as I listened to you sleep
'Cause I knew I loved you more than life itself.  Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please - 
Let me be a good Mom - that is all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline, too. I pledge my life to you.

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

Eight years old, bringing smiles, happiness and many questions
Every time I look at you I think, you are a little me
I wonder, what you will be - an Astronaut or whatever you want to be
I try to be a tough Mom, but you always make me laugh
Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my son
I pledge to you, I will always do everything I can to show you how to be a good and loving man 
Dignity, integrity, honor and respect 
If you lose, remember you tried and learn from the experience
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track
Remember one fact, I have your back

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

It's a full-time job to be a good Mom.
One day some girl's gonna break your heart but don't take it out on the next, son
Throughout life people will make you mad - disrespect you and treat you bad
Let God deal with the things they do 'cause hate in your heart will consume you, too
Always tell the truth, say your prayers, hold doors, pull out chairs and don't swear.
You're living proof that dreams do come true.
I love you and I'm here for you.

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I 

Taking on the world  - I'm always here for you
Look over your shoulder I'll be there
Whatever you need just call on me
We will rise - we will shine
Whatever you need I'll be there for you any time

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Your Mom loves you for the rest of your life.
