Our last day :-( and our First night time road trip :-)

We ended our trip with a peaceful bike ride to breakfast this morning and then headed back for a day at the beach! Haley and Grandpa dug one last hole :-)

Ms. Madi enjoyed lots of playtime with her Mommy and Daddy!

Noah was quite the helper with his baby brother this trip and wasn't too excited about anyone else playing or touching him. He tucked him in his car seat in preparation for his ride to breakfast after the two of them watched Curious George together this morning! Noah was very proud and kept wanting to hold Brody all by himself. Noah also just finished giving Brody the last ounce of his bottle while we hit the road to ATL. Such a helper! I think these two are going to be great friends! 

Check out this picture I caught :-) So funny! Same profile...

Brody was playing on Daddy's lap

Cute picture of Madi and Melissa from last nights dinner

Extra picture of Haley from last night too!

We decided to drive back home during the night so we could have a full weekend before our crazy week starts next week. I was a little questionable on how I thought this was going to go but after their usual snack and milk before bedtime Haley and Noah told each other and Brody goodnight and ALL 3 kids went right to sleep! I was a bit shocked but very pleasantly surprised! We are excited to be back home but man are we going to miss Hilton Head!! Such a fun place with great memories!

Mostly a pool and shopping day!

I did spot a shark someone caught laying on the beach! Crazy huh?!?

I didn't take any pictures of our shopping trip but you will see the kids in their new clothes :-D

Beautiful place for dinner and ice cream! They even had a small children's program by the ice cream shop!

Ms. Haley was all about the modeling and then the other kids started getting into it too :-)

Finally a family photo that want a complete failure!!

Cute picture with Grandpa!

We can't get enough of this place!

LOVE love love our little beach babes! They play till the drop! Brody fell asleep playing botche ball (spelling?) with me and the boys. What a trooper :-D

Haley and I snuck off for a little shopping trip! Nothing like biking to a few shops for some new shoes :-) Check out Haley's new pink ones! She ended up with a pair of reefs too :-D 

Biked to Harbor Town to see the Lighthouse, big boats, good drinks and live music! Thxs to Gary and Mandy for walking the 4 kids to the top! 114 stairs! 

Another day in Paradise!

Hoping we can take a picture of the kids just like this every summer. Last years announcement of Brody's arrival was the first! 

Dolphin watching!!

Brody's first time with his toes in the ocean :-D I think he likes it!!!

Fuller from Home Alone is on the beach...lol. He was slurping that drink down for about 30 min solid!

Their boat 

The kids were all pretty worn out today so when the afternoon clouds and little shower rolled in I gave them a bath and let them enjoy watching a movie from their beds! They think it's so cool they have a tv in their room :-)

The package was secured and safely delivered just before dinner! Mom and I actually made great timing to the wine store by bike :-)

Check out this sand castle! Apparently this guy does this every year while on vacation. It took him all day! We had seen him doing this earlier on in the day but when the Boys all headed to the beach for some shark fishing they saw it complete.

Day 2!!!

Beautiful morning for snuggles with Mimi on the back patio while looking for birds to dive bomb their breakfast! 

Double thumbs up! This kid is ready to roll out to the beach! :-D

My boys <3 <3

Noah and I playing catch!

Our little mermaids!

Noah's flying his buzz light year kite all by himself!

And Daddy's kite!

Thanks Aunt Mandy for taking Noah and Makayla on a bike ride to Harbor Town! 

I think they are worn out! Sweet cousins!

An afternoon stroll on the beach and pool time fun while dinner is on the grill :-D

 

Yesterday I spent most of the day with Brody but today I got to spend a lot of time playing with Noah! Maybe tomorrow is Haley??? She's pretty busy with her cousins though so we will see. 

We ended our night with a nice bike ride to our favorite ice cream shop!

First day in Hilton Head!

Brody's first time touching the sand! I think he liked it!!! At least he didn't scream and pull his feel back up like Haley did her first time in Hawaii.

Brody's footprints in the sand....

First of many stroller naps by the ocean! No better place to sleep than fresh air and the sounds of waves crashing while being pushed up and down the beach! 👍 

Time to relax and enjoy the view!

Mr. Noah having the time of his life!

Ms. Peyton keeping herself nice and dirty ;-)

Ms Madi and her new pose. She's quite the beach bum baby!

Some of the gang having snack time...

No ones exhausted yet, pool time!!

Ok now let's all get cleaned up and bike 4 miles to Salty Dog cafe for dinner and the nightly ice cream shop!!!! This is the best way to travel while at the beach! The kids love it sooo much they even chose to ride back in the rain storm vs jumping in the car and driving home. We did see two alligators on the way which excited then so much :-D

Noah came and got Makaylas hand to walk her threw the crowds :-D He was so proud and even announced "Mommy I'm holding her hand!!!" 

He's quite the stud....two bad they are all his cousins and sister ;-)
