Helping with Iron Man

I took the girls and some friends to volunteer at the Iron Man competition. It was so amazing to see how much those athletes have to swim (2 miles), bike (from Kona to Havi, 112 miles ) and then run a marathon...all in one day! It happens each October here on the Big Island. The winner completes it in just over 8 hours. There were over 1800 athletes who participated. We got to pass out water bottles as they came by. It was so much fun.

Swimming with the Dolphins!

Maisie and Lydia scored a deal to go swim with the dolphins at Dolphin Quest. They were so excited and it was so much fun! The dolphin's name was Kao. Lydia was a bit nervous, but ended up having lots of fun. Maisie kissed Kao right on the chin. It was an experience to remember...definately a perk of living in paradise.
