Jack had Fall break last week and we headed out with our friends, Dennis & Lisa & kiddos to Hilton Head for a much needed, much enjoyed vacation. We got to stay at the Disney resort there and had a blast! It was very relaxing and low key. We enjoyed campfires at night, swimming at the pool and beach, riding bikes and a fun festival. Jack learned how to ride without the training wheels the first day we rented bikes within like 10 minutes and we were so proud of him. He loved riding! We ended up renting bikes for the whole clan, which equalled 5 adult and 2 kid bikes. My bike had a tag-a- long or tandem for Coop to ride with me and Mark, Dennis, and Lisa all had infant seats for Lettie and the twins to ride. We rode miles and miles on the trails and looked like a traveling circus family. Needless to say by the second day of riding our bottoms were soooo sore from riding so much but it was lots of fun for everyone. Lettie did ok in the infant seat but had some trouble keeping her head up with the helmet on, but she survived.
The weather was great and perfect for Lettie to get out since it wasn't too hot. We only dined out one time for lunch and hung out in the condo for most meals. Trust me, with that many kids it so much easier and enjoyable to just stay in and cook. The kids actually love it more cause they hate to wait for a table. Dennis and Lisa's twins, Bode and Stella, are walking now so they enjoy having more freedom and room to roam. They were both so sweet with Lettie. They would walk over to her in the beanbag and love on her and watch her.
The ride home was long and eventful, as our life usually goes. On one of our stops, Jack got a huge Twix ice cream bar and a sugary drink to enjoy as we traveled along the curvy, mountains of North Carolina and shortly after vomited everywhere in the back of the van. Gotta love being a mom at those times when your holding a bag for your sweet child trying your best to not gag and vomit yourself. We stopped and got him and the van all cleaned just as Lettie pooped everywhere! I'm glad I have a strong stomach! Of course Coop is holding her nose the entire time letting us all know how gross it all is....like we didn't already know that! All in all though, the trip was much needed and we had a great time.
