Through the generous gift of our cottage sponsor, we traveled to Kiawah Island last week to stay at her wonderful beach house! The weather was glorious every single day and we enjoyed not only the sun and the sand but had a ball navigating the island on bicycles! Imagine our SHOCK as we came upon an ALLIGATOR on the bike trail one day!? These animals are protected so we just waited for the huge thing to finish crawling across the trail in to the woods. We were entertained one evening by a Gullah storyteller, attended the "Kiawah Karnival" where the boys had fun with pugil sticks and big bounce houses, and ate our fill of watermelon and shrimp! Because Cortney and Quinn have returned home, Hank and I were back to "my three sons" with Randy, David, and Michael. When we were discussing the fact that our cottage is relatively new and therefore it will take some time to save funds to be able to take a "big" trip to some place like Disney World, all the boys said, "No! We're coming back to Kiawah!"
