Hilton Head 2009

It has been forever since I updated our blog and I am finally getting around to posting pictures from out Virginia/Hilton Head trip. We were not going to go to HH this year but at the last minute Chris told me to find tickets and take the boys. We found great tickets to Chesapeake so we flew in and stayed with Libby and Justin and then drove down to Hilton Head with Libby. We tried to surprise my Dad but I think he had it all figured out by the time we arrived! We got to HHI around 1am and everyone woke up to greet us. Dad was very happy to see us and acted surprised but I think he knew. The next morning Oma and Papa got up when the boys did, got Jack ready and took the boys out for a bike ride. It was great because Libby and I could catch up on sleep! Jack and Wade loved riding in the Burley!

They took the bikes down to the beach where Jack found cool looking creatures. Jack and Oma always love finding interesting animals. When we visited Washington last September Jack and Oma collected around 12 slugs that Jack turned into pets! He enjoyed cleaning the jar they were kept in, feeding them and taking them out to spray with water! The things we ONLY do with Oma! Isn't this a great looking Horseshoe Crab? Jack thought so.

Oma and Papa also took the boys to the park because Libby had taught Jack how to pump on the swing and he HAD to show Oma and Papa what he had learned! Jack & Oma climbed into the tree house where Jack posed for photos. We had a great trip as always. We wish Chris could have joined us, but maybe next year. It is always wonderful when Oma and Papa get to spend time with their "boys"!
