Just before we left for Costa Rica, our class split up into three families to make it easier to travel, and to have an easier time while we were there. I was in Simms' family along with Alexa, Bailee, Lauren, Megan Stev, Will, Thomas, Ann- Marie, and Simms. We all got matching Buffs before we left to be able to easily see our family members, and because they look cool.
After we arrived in Costa Rica at our Eco Lodge in Arenal, we had family pot lucks, so everyone in the family pitched in either food or money, and we went to the grocery store to buy some items. We had Mr.Noodles, along with pepperoni sticks, cheese, bread, sardines, and nachos. On the last night in La Fortuna, we again split up into families and went into town to eat family meals. My family went to a local restaurant, with Kat and Jorge the bus driver, and had a fantastic meal. We waited and played games and were the loudest people there by far. 
The next day, we travelled in a van with our family for about 4 hours. During which we played many games such as hand seed ball, music artist, and had an eating competition. After we arrived in Monteverde, one of the nights, we played "Minute To Win It". Our family placed second overall losing by about 2 points to the first place team. In Samara, we were not really in families, but in groups. The family aspect was an awesome addition to the trip, because we had a small group of people that we could rely on, and we grew as a family throughout the trip.
Thanks for a great trip Simms!
