Saturday's Hike


Saturday morning we hiked up to Twin Lakes. It was a beautiful morning as you can see.

Taking a break by the lake. We stopped at the lake and had a snack break. The kids fed the chipmunks Cheez-Its and Swedish Fish.

These chipmunks aren't shy! Ian had them eating out of the palm of his hand! Not really, but pretty close.

Hilton Head 2008


Sunrise on Hilton Head Island, 2008 vacation spot! Fun place to be, we will go back. Water's nice and warm, plenty of things to do, we didn't want to come home.

Ian found a boogie board. So, we used it for the week and then gave it away to another family as we left. You can see Ian enjoyed riding the waves.

Ashten doing a little shopping at Harbour Town! She bought a shirt, a hat, and two necklaces! Ian bought a shark's tooth!

Hanging out in the ocean. The water was around 85 degrees. It felt good, day or night!

Here's our friend the alligator. I can't believe I got the family to go kayaking after seeing this guy in a pond over by Harbour Town.

Vangee paddling her Kayak up the sound! She spent her kayak trip checking out the real estate along the inlet!

Ashten paddling her kayak out of the harbor! She's ready to guide. Maybe she could find some wildlife! Good thing we didn't talk about the alligator before we went on this adventure or I don't think Ashten would have gone!

Hilton Head 2008


Ian and I on the kayaking tour. It was supposed to be a wildlife sightseeing tour but since we didn't see any wildlife we called it our morning exercise class.

All of us at the Brave's/Cardinals game at Turner Field. The "Tomahawk Chop" was a big hit, especially when the Chick-Fil-A cow did it. The Brave's won 9-4 after losing 5 games in a row. Ian says we were the good-luck charm!

Vangee and Ashten ready to go cruising on their Jetski! They saw three dolphins! Ashten a crazy jetski driver for sure!

Ian and I riding the jetski! We almost sank trying to go through the the Island Ferry's wake! Ian kept saying "We're sinking, we're sinking!"

We tried to build one last sand castle before leaving town. We ran out of time, it was going to be HUGE!!!
