I packed up my lil' army of kids and made a 9 hour drive out of a 5 hour drive down to Hilton Head Island for Thanksgiving. My mom beat us here and had the place all set up...super sweet time share accomodations....probably bigger than my house.
anyhoo, it's at the beach and it's been in the 70's every day....so we have pretty much just ridden our bikes all week. In the course of said riding, Lil' Manimal decided to try going down stairs which started slowly on a very small and spaced out 3-set and progressed to about a 9-set at near gapping speed. then he tried to gap a 3-set the next day, overshot and nosed in too much causing a pretty nasty crash in front of about 20 vacationing families(didn't have the camera out on that one:mumble: ) but he got up and walked it off in true "i'm a tough kid" fashion.
enough talk....here are some pics from the week (which is my first true vacation in over 3 years)
first and foremost....one of the best pics i've ever gotten of him.
-flying down a large set of stairs-
the first set of "real" stairs right on the beach (also the same set that he cleared and then crashed on)
my youngest daughter helping me play HALO
look closely at the sign on the left "Beaufort County Sheriffs Office"
not the biggest set of stairs but i thought the whole "municipal property" thing was cool
he felt compelled to teach my mom how to ride stairs...and she did
i even got my wife out to ride....and i made sure to stay behind her to enjoy the view :devil:
hope you all had a good holiday!!!
