The Jolliff Family

Andrew built a cradle for a baby (his cat stuffed animal) and said he would make one for the twins when they arrive.  He is going to be such a great helper and big brother when these twins arrive.  He is so excited and talks about it at least 100x a day, as well as how big my belly is getting!!  :) Jacob has been fighting some bad guys around here.

There is a huge cross at the top of the hill. It was HOT! Along the way, the boys spotted many peacocks.  This boy loves his daddy! After the hot overlook, we headed to a cooler spot and went into the pools of the seven natural springs.  We had packed a lunch to enjoy and the boys enjoyed the cool water to play in.  It was a perfect way to give ourselves a break from the island sun. Best buddies! Then we headed to a tunnel that had running water through it.  Hap checked it out first and then myself and the older two boys went through the pitch black tunnel.
