Jessie and Van

4th of July

A day filled with activities and fun... bike parade, chilli cook off, hula hoop contest, pie eating, face painting, balloon making, BBQ, John Brown Band, and fireworks.  All with friends, family and neighbors.

Raquel's Dance Camp

We came to see Raquel's performance on her last day of camp.  The girls then went to Aunt Cathy's to make up and perform their own dance for us.  So cute!

Last Days in Hawaii

7 days just isn't enough.  We all would like to stay another 7.  Our trip to Kauai was a memorable one.  We had a lot of family fun and adventure and look forward to visiting again.  Aloha!

Our Day in Hanalei Bay

Well, this was our favorite place on the island.  Next time we come back we'll stay on the North Shore.  Breathtaking!

Jeff's 46th Birthday

 This was just the perfect day!  Afternoon at Polihale Beach, then dinner at Dondero's.

Nature Hike With Jessie

 Jessie and I went on a little exploration while Jeff took Josette and Gigi for a drive to Tom Kilroy's House to borrow a board.  Watching Jessie in her element (nature) is fascinating.  She gets so excited discovering and collecting.  That afternoon we picked up shells, flowers and even found a wad of money to take home.  I love our conversations and feed off her enthusiasm for life.  She's fun to hang out with!
