The family had a fantastic 4th of July in Hilton Head! The kids had all sorts of great experiences. Hudson and Larkin loved going out on Mikie's boat. They even got to see the famous dolphin Stumpy come right up to the side of the boat. Larkin loved being the captain and Hudson is a born fisherman right down to his fisherman hat. He even caught his first spanish mackerel on their "boy's only" fishing trip. Brooke, on the other hand, was a little more than scared as we pulled away from the dock and went into survivor mode (fake sleeping and clinging on for dear life) for our boat ride. The kids also went paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing (yes, Hud caught his first wave and Gregor was SO proud!), slip 'n sliding, swimming, had a huge water balloon fight (their favorite part of the trip!), got to appear on mom's "girl talk" television show, etc etc etc. Hudson and Larkin also got to stay awake for the first time to see the fireworks, which was great that night, but not so much fun driving home with tired, cranky kids. All-in-all, we had a fantastic trip (minus the 12 hours of screaming Brooke on the ride home). It's always fun to go back to Hilton Head and see the kids do the things I did growing up. They adore debi's house. In fact, when he got home, Hud decided that he wanted to go live there.... but then decided that he would actually miss his mom and dad too much so he would just visit. I wonder if it's the fact that they get to eat cupcakes for breakfast, stay up late every night, and crack their own eggs for breakfast.
