Already counting down til our next vacay.

So I think this is it for the pictures. And I don’t know what more to say about them – except (this can be in honor of all the traffic circles in Hilton Head) – “Look kids, it’s the beach again”. Almost every day, at least Cailee participated in the art activity at the beach…

Horse play

Nothing like a little horse play to beat the heat (well not really, but I enjoyed some of the other activities because it gave us a bit of a reprieve from baking in the sun at the beach – but it certainly didn’t get us away from the humidity, they claimed this week was the…

Yes, we did exercise on our our vacation.

Just in the event you didn’t believe me when I told you that we rode bikes to the beach each day – here’s proof.  I finally got up the nerve on the last day to ride one handed so I could take a picture during the ride.  I took like 10 pictures, only two were…

Arrrrrghhh

Thanks to a great recommendation we went on the Pirates of Hilton Head excursion. The kids were a little tentative at first (surprise, surprise), although Connor did agree to get his face painted. They were each given a pirate name, we are now the proud parents of Chickenwing Connor and Cuddlefish Cailee and timidly boarded…

Sweet moments

Like I said, it’s seeing my kids happy that makes me happy. Here is the perfect example, a tickle-fest from yesterday morning. That smile could melt anyone’s heart. Just to give you a glimpse into what else makes us so happy, here’s the great kids room in our condo – double bunk beds (and yes,…

Sand between our toes

It’s with mixed feelings that I’ve been counting down the days til our beach trip. We planned it last minute for the very last possible week of the summer – that is – the last week before Cailee starts kindergarten. Every part of me was super excited for vacation, except for the part that knows…
