Wow, we've already been home for a week, and I'm just now getting around to blogging. Catching up after a week away is hard work!
We had the awesome opportunity to vacation with our dear friends, Brian, Jill, Lincoln and Graham in Hilton Head (thanks to our very generous parents!) for a week. We knew that traveling with four adults and three little ones under the age of 2 could be a little crazy, but we really love the Hammers and were totally willing to brave the unknown to be able to spend a week together. Overall, the kids did really well. We definitely had some bumps along the way and some cranky, sleep-deprived kids at different points, but it was all worth it in the end.
Kate and Lincoln are only two months apart, and as you will see in the pictures, they are still in love. Kate follows Lincoln around and loves to give him hugs. Lincoln likes to hold Kate's hand. It's so very sweet to watch them. And then, 10 seconds later, Kate is hitting Lincoln in the back and they're fighting over toys. I guess that's what toddlers do. They both learned lots of important life lessons about sharing and being kind to our friends in South Carolina:)
We didn't really have any plans for our time on Hilton Head; just to relax and enjoy time together. We went for lots of walks on the beach. We swam every day. The kids loved to dig in the sand and run around in the ocean. The weather was perfect - high 70's or low 80's every day and sunny. It was just what we all needed after a long, busy winter in Michigan.
