Farm Fair

We went to the farm fair this year and Jillian really loved the animals. :) The sheep were so friendly!
The baby piggy's barely moved. :)

The chickens were fun too!

Jillian in the bounce house....she was not a big fan. Maybe next time....

Jeremy made this smaller so I could post it here. :)

The Revolution Cometh

Jillian started preschool last month. This is her first experience with school and we are so pleased that she is loving it!

In case you missed it, and I'm sorry if you did!, you can view Jillian on the trailer for our 2009 DVD. Here is the link to Jeremy's YouTube home page.

Half Birthday

Today is Jillian's half birthday. She helped me make 1/2 a cake....and from the moment we took it out of the oven she was so excited to have a piece! I'm sure she inherited her love of cakes from her father! :) We started a new fun family tradition tonight that we are looking forward to doing again next year.

More Fun with the Browns

Jeremy took Peg and Dave to see the Volcano Park, Puna Lu'u (black sand beach) and South Point. Jillian and I had been sick all week, so we opted out of the 15-hour day and decided to stay home and rest instead.

One afternoon we went to feed the manta rays. They are so neat and Jillian LOVED them!!!!

Peg and Dave stayed at the Marriott their first and last nights in town. On their last day, we went up to play with them. We snorkeled in the ocean, swam in all of the pools and ate lunch at the cute cafe. Thankfully, we remembered Jillian's floaty...she feels comfortable swimming anywhere with it.

Atlantis Submarine

During Uncle Dave and Auntie Peg's visit we decided to try the Atlantis Submarine. It was a pretty fun excursion!

We rode a shuttle boat out to the sub....I was holding on so tight to Jillian!!!! :)

The Withrow's on the submarine.

This is what the sub looks like....

We didn't get to see anything big-big, but we did get to see 2 ship wrecks. They were a gathering place for all the little fish.

Mickey's Neighbors

Jeremy's Aunt Peg and Uncle Dave came to visit us from Orlando, FL....and to celebrate their 25th (I think) Wedding Anniversary. We had so much fun playing tourists with them! On their first day, we toured Kona Joe's, a local Kona Coffee Farm.

Then we visited Place of Refuge. Peg and Jillian are scary Ki'i! :) (warrior guards)
