These are the only pictures I got on Hilton Head before my camera died. Debi and her Chickens! Mikie made the chickens a nice house in the middle of the yard, but of course they don't really stay in there. The chickens walk all around the house and look in through the sliding glass door when they're hungry. They are actually super cute, and the kids adored them. It was the big morning event to feed the chickens and give them all hugs in the morning (while getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes). The chickens were surprisingly good letting Brooke and Nellie hold them all the time (Hudson and Larkin stood a nice distance away). Nellie adored the chickens and would chase them all around the house, even following them into the bushes. It was hilarious. Brooke was in heaven at lynes land... she constantly had some sort of animal in her arms... dogs, ferrets, chickens, a bunny... whatever... she didn't care. Apparently, after we left, Debi and Mikie got their first eggs... a little pink one and a little green one... of course their chickens would lay colored eggs!! Would you expect any different!
We had a fantastic trip though... The kids got to play with their cousins Ronan and Isla, uncle brandon and auntie cat, and even got to see aunt mollie and uncle brian (yeah, no pictures... I'm awful). Larkin finally learned to swim in the deep end of the pool, I got stung by a jellyfish in the first 5 minutes of my first dip in the ocean (also my last dip in the ocean), the kids got to go on the boat and play with a friendly dolphin... all in all, one of our best trips to hilton head. I feel like our trips are finally getting a lot easier in terms of managing the kids. They are sleeping better, and just tend to be a little more flexible and fun out of their normal routine. Nellie is still a wild card, but in the next year or two I can imagine things getting easier.
