Funny Story...

Ryan and I thoughtfully picked out some souvenirs for the girls when we were on our trip to Costa Rica.  We always get them a key chain for their key chain collection.  We scoured several and settled on this one...


We also saw these colorful, glittery porcelain lizards in one of the shops.  They had the girls' name all over them.  Colorful and glittery.  What better words define them?


The girls have been into ankle bracelets lately, after seeing Livy next door wearing them.  So we picked out some handmade beaded ankle bracelets.


And who can go to a location without buying the standard fare t-shirt?


Inadvertently we ran across these little packs of gum at the Super Samara grocery store. Apparently this is how they sell their gum.  Sullivan is in LOVE with gum, so we picked up a couple of packets for Quinn and Sullivan.


And lastly, we brought them back a little of the Costa Rican money - called colones.  We wanted to show them how different their money system is than ours.  (1,000 colones equally approximately $2.00)


So after we brought back far more souvenirs than we probably should have, of which the girls were extremely appreciative of, we asked them which one they liked the best.


Quinn liked the lizard the best, which was not too shocking to either of us.  All things girly.  Sullivan? .... the gum!  That probably should not have surprised me either, but it did.  Something that I could have nearly bought in my own backyard ended up being her favorite.  Who needed to travel those 5,000 miles anyway?!!
