Leeman's Genius film work

I don't mean to overwhelm the blog with costa rican stuff......but leeman's film work is impressive

Lake Garda

This is Hayle and I standing in Juliets balcony. There truly is the Montegues and Capulets from Verona, and this was her balcony! Cool! Then we went on a wine tour. OMG! delicious wine, olive oil and snacks! of course we bought too much crap to take home with us, our luggage will be way overweight. And then there is Hayle in the vineyard. It is amazing here! Tomorrow we will hang by the lake. (ok, boys, stop reading now) That is, if I can find tampons, because of course, I got my period a week early and I am not prepared. I know, TMI, but I'm really annoyed right now.

Banana Pancakes

Yes...Yes...Yes...

Just another wedding to plan for the Braun family! It doesn't get more exciting than this!!!!!!!!!

Costa Rica

We did the zip lines through the Costa Rican forest. We LOVED it and had so much FUN! Some of the lines were really high...like flying with wonderful views of the forest below. We also did the TARZAN swing which was amazing! A few in the group were scared though. We were pushed off a platform to swing out over the forest. The initial jump was scary but then the swinging was so much fun. That was everybody's favorite. We are off to another adventure tomorrow...adios!

Foam Party!

OMG!! We went into the Bay tonight for what we thought was a little 'Wow!' Festival. It was music and guys on stiltsm acrobatics and stuff. We kind of walked around, then chose a spot by the fence to watch the show. they did fireworks and we thought it was over. THEN, they picked up this bag looking thing, and FOAM came FLYING out at us!! And it did NOT stop! Literally, it was up to our waists!! we were soaking wet, at some points we were wiping the foam from hayle's face so she could breath!! OMG, it was SO MUCH FUN!!!

Go Away

Fun at the Park

Yesterday we had fun with friends at the park. #Hayle hopped on this contraption. then Pete went over and spun it around for her. then 3 other kids came over and got on. after that our friend helped pete spin it. of course they got going too fast, and you see what happened to pete!! OH, I am still laughing!! In the 3rd picture, it looks like our friend is trying to get away saying 'I didn't make him fall'. and I just showed this to hayle, she laughs and says, can't you make the picture bigger?........so funny!

Message in a Bottle

ANOTHER BRAUN ENGAGEMENT

Gerry and Jada took a walk Tuesday, July 1st on Panama City Beach as the sun began to set. As they walked down the beach they heard some music coming from one of the night clubs and began to dance on the beach. As they strolled back they noticed a bottle sitting in the sand. Jada opened it to read the love letter as fireworks went off Gerry bent down to his knee and asked Jada to marry him (with cheers coming from up the beach). They went back up the beach to where all of Jada's family and friends were, they formed a tunnel for them to walk through as they all hummed hear comes the bride.

CONGRATULATIONS GERRY & JADA

Meet Coco

I couldn't get the black and white dog because she did not like cats and the rescue place wouldn't allow it since I have a cat. So I got Coco. I liked her name so I didn't have to change it and she is soooooo sweet.
