Last of the vacation pictures

One disadvantage to where we live is that there are no good climbing trees. Every time we are in a place with good trees Asher is the first to start climbing. 

 He has pretty good form.

 This sweet girl makes me so happy. She is such a delight to be around and is constantly making me laugh with the things she says.

 Dex is so easy going, I guess you have to be in this family. I am just starting to get hints of the boy he will grow into and it's fun to watch.

Why I'm thinking of getting a bird...

There was one part of the island that had a little harbor and we spent some time walking around. Outside a little shop was a tree with some parrots. 

 When we walked over to the red one, the parrot said "Hello". Piper's face immediately lit up and she said "Hello parrot, can you see my pretty dress? I'm a princess and my name is Piper". She went on for a while and really thought the parrot understood and would talk back.

 This little girl talks a lot...maybe getting a parrot for her may be a good idea.

Hilton Head Beach

Did I mention that we loved Hilton Head? Well we did. The beach was perfect for us. The water was as warm as a bath and the waves were gentle. All the kids loved going in the ocean and splashing around. The beach itself was very flat, so late in the day there were always tide pools. This was ideal for Piper and Dexter. 

 I loved having so much family time. There weren't too many people around and we really got to relax.

 I am so in love with my family.

 Nate and Asher love digging in the sand and building castles. I didn't get any pictures, but they made quite an impressive drip castle.

They all keep asking when we can go back.

Hilton Head

Last week we went to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina for a vacation. It was awesome. This was the first time any of us went there, and we completely fell in love with it. The entire Island is gorgeous and so green. Once you get there you don't even need a car. You can bike anywhere. We rented bikes and the kids had so much fun. Asher did at least ten miles without complaining or needing a break. 

 Dex decided to relax and sleep. Notice he doesn't have any shoes. I forgot to pack them, as well as bathing suit bottoms for myself and all things needed for the beach.

We are so excited to go back there again.
