super sitter

Hi!
I'm Brittany and I'm 13 years old and I love babies and little children. If you want to leave your children or go on a date, go shopping, eat lunch with some friends, or other things you can call me.
I have two little siblings who I helped with when they were babies and so have much practice. I know how to change diapers, put little one's to bed. I can cook simple things mostly dessert and am very responsible.
I am also up for being a mother's helper.

Thank you,
Brittany

Hurdling




One of the unique features of the Brown vacation is hurdling with my dad. After coaching a number of successful hurdlers on his girls track team, he hopes that one of the grandkids might become one. Whether it happens or not, they love racing each other across the sand. In the first picture he instructs Aidan and Liam on the footplant. Next the two five year olds--Corinne and Aidan--square off in a race. After the afternoon's work, my dad spends a little time recovering with my mom and my sister-in-law Jamie.

Indiana jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 10. Les Miserable's.

Cousin Time Part II




The older cousins are more inclined to hanging out. We managed to grab three groups of them while waiting for fireworks at Shelter Cove. (By the way, when in Hilton Head, don't bother to wait.) In the first picture are Brown, Connor, and Barnes; the second "cool" group, Miller, Jackson, and Parker; the third, Brittany, Bailey, and Betsy.

Cousin Time


Cousin time is the main attraction from the Brown family vacation. Here the group known as "the littles", parts of three different families, cram together on the dragon. from left to right: Corinne, Emerson, McLain, Liam, and Aidan. Perhaps, it goes without saying that the dragon did not last the week.

First Saturday at the Pool


Each June we spend a week with the Brown side of our family at Hilton Head Island. My brother Hoffman gets to spend a little more uninterrupted time with his wife Jamie and their five children, including daughter Emerson.

Blueberry Picking




Two years ago we spent a great morning at Miller Farm picking blueberries. (The bottom picture shows us with the fruits of our labor in 2006.) Unfortunately, last year a late freeze wiped out the blueberry crop so we missed out on this outing. We're happy to report that the blueberries are back, as McLain is demonstrating, but sad to say that Jackson missed out on the outing.
