Beach Adventure

Well, I made it back from Hilton Head in one piece. We had a wonderful time. My niece ended up tagging along so I wasn't the lone female in a house full of men!

Stephanie had a great time as well, although she was sick with a stomach bug the first few days. We did a lot of bike riding on the lovely trails throughout the island. We just plunked Steph in the attached bike seat, put on her bike helmet and away we went (usually to the nearest playground)! She loved the playground with the big giant tree house at Harbor Town the best. Lots of stairs for her to climb as fast as her little legs would take her! she loved playing with the steering wheel and peaking over the edge to daddy who was down below with the camera!

Stephanie loved the hot tub too. The first night of our stay, she got into the luke warm bath water hot tub with the rest of us and enjoyed dumping water over our heads with a plastic cup someone gave her. She had the biggest smile I've ever seen!!! What little it takes to thrill the little ones in this world.

Everyone took turns cooking meals, which was nice and worked out well. However, dishes don't clean themselves. Yours truly was awarded that task without consulation. I could have ignored the mess, but I couldnt' stand the site of food left out on the table the next morning. Someone had to do the dirty work!!

Stephanie is about to have a birthday. She'll be turning the "big 2" on June 24th. Winnie the Pooh is the theme this year. She's already starting the "terrible twos". Temper tantrums are on her daily agenda these days. Ugh!! I long for the "old" days when she would just roll around on the floor. Take care everyone!

Sounds like a great trip! LOL at Stephanie in the hot tub.

Enjoy the Terrible Twos. Of course, I was a perfect angel during those years. Just ask my mom. :-D
