Bug Love

Jillian LOVES bugs! She gets so excited every time she sees a bug and here in Hawaii that's alot! :) We try to point out the icky ones (like scorpions and centipedes) so that she knows what they look like and what to do when she sees one......get Mom and Dad! Many mornings we'll wake up to find a cockroach in the garage.....gross, gross, gross. Jillian LOVES it and wants to give them hugs and kisses. She is allowed to "blow" hugs and kisses to the bugs....but not directly touch them. Bugs, especially roaches, creep me out beyond reason and I am trying soooo hard not to pass my fears on to her! They are usually no longer alive, so we sweep them into the yard where the grass is a much nicer place for them to sleep.

An Afternoon At The Park

There is this amazing park just south of town. One afternoon we went to play there and Jillian met a little girl with a very long and hard to pronounce Hawaiian name. She told Jillian that everyone calls her A'oo. She was very sweet and took Jillian by the hand and showed her all the best things to do. Jillian now refers to this place as A'oo's playground. :)

One afternoon we met Teghan and Monica there to play. The girls had fun swinging.

And talking.

Avocados

Jeremy is holding a mongo butter cream avocado we found at one of the farmer's markets. YUM!! Allie, how does this compare to the ones in Costa Rica?
