Here are some photos and highlights from our trip:
Forget the baby slides. Max prefers the big kid twisty slides!
Walter showing Max proper frisbee throwing technique...
There was an awesome (free!) petting zoo and horse stables not too far from our rental house. Max and Saskia loved seeing and feeding the animals.
I wish I could accurately describe Max's love for Denise. He lit up and shouted "Deese!" ("Denise!") when she'd walk in the room, run off with her to play on the beach, and in the few days after we returned home he'd walk around the house looking for her saying, "Deese? Deese?" The scene below was a common one during our trip!
Kirsten had an awesome bubble wand that produced tons of bubbles. The kids loved chasing them and trying to pop bubbles!
One of my (Laura) personal favorite photos from the trip!
Hmm... I think Saskia was ready for a snack.
Daddy and Steve teach Max about throwing a football.
Super Man heads to the shore!
Sandy cheeks!!
Max loved taking Abby (the dog) on walks--especially when he got to hold the leash all by himself!
Toddler Mariachi Band! (or two one year old kids shaking plastic maracas)
The whole gang with a self-timer photo!
We put the babies in pajamas and went out for ice cream right before bedtime one evening! This is about as wild and crazy as things got on vacation. :-)

The area of Hilton Head where we were staying, Sea Pines, has a free trolley. We thought the kids might enjoy riding, but it was a hot day so the Mamas rode the trolley for two stops and the Dad's followed behind in the van so we could hop off and get back to air conditioning. :-) Max and Saskia were in awe (probably from riding in a vehicle with no car seat!) and kept saying, "Choo choo! Choo choo!"
Max was really excited to see this construction equipment from afar, so I brought him over to get a closer look. He started hanging on a little tighter and when I tried to stand him on the steps for a photo he practically climbed up me to get away. As you can see from the photo he was hanging on so tightly that I could let go! "Look Ma! No hands!"
