Tyleigh goes to Panama!

One of the first "vacations" Tyleigh got to take while she was in Costa Rica was to Bocas del Toro, Panama. Getting there seemed a little sketchy, but it's so fun to watch her navigate this on her own and have such fun adventures while experiencing the world!

This is the hostel they stayed in.








They snorkeled at Starfish Beach!

Love that she has this instant group of friends to have these experiences with!

Tyleigh is headed to Costa Rica!

Tyleigh is going to Costa Rica! She has signed up to be part of the International Language Program (otherwise known as ILP), and will be there for 3 months to teach English to children! 
We are so proud of her and how hard she has worked to earn this all on her own!
She will have the most amazing adventure, but saying goodbye is definitely not eay!

This was us trying to figure out how to pack 3 months worth of supplies, clothes, 
and living needs into not very much luggage!
We did a pretty freaking awesome job!
Minus the fact that one suitcase weighed 95 lbs!

We admittedly drug our feet a little once we got to the airport. 


There was no way we weren't going to cry. 
Sending your baby for three months to a completely different part of the world hits hard. 



Go let your light shine, Ty! And have the BEST adventure you've ever had!
We love you with all our hearts!

After she went through the gate, none of us could keep it together. A family sitting close by was watching us and asked if we by chance had a daughter going to Costa Rica. Their daughter had just gone through the gates and was headed to the same place. We both texted our daughters to let them know that they needed to look for each other. Little did we know that they would become best friends through their trip - and even after. 💕
