We arrived at the HHI resort yesterday around 11. Whgen we checked in, the CM asked us if we would like to be in a particular area-I told her marsh view and close to the pool-she gave us Building 22. Our room was ready. 2 bedroom, everything looks great-there was no water yesterday for a short time, not sure why, we didn't really notice as we were out.
It's a great location, steps from the pool gate and next to the playground.
We had lunch at Tide Me Over, rented bikes for the week, went to Publix, went swimming, had dinner at Marley's Island Grill and went to the campfire.

This morning we woke up early and rode our bikes to the beach house-I was nervous with my son-he just stopped using training wheels a couple of weeks ago and I was afraid he'd veer off into traffic, but he did fine.

Went on the beach for a bit

and then rode back.

It was looking gloomy so we went to the outlets, shopped, stopped at Kilwins for some pecan brittle and fudge and then came back to the resort for lunch.
Did the Mickey Tie Dye and then went to the pool, which is where I sit now.

Now my son is mad at me because I won't go back in the pool..but I don;t want to get my hair wet..how can I say no to this face??

I don;t know-but I do. No can do bud, i did my little dip in for the day.I

The kids are going to Kids Night Out tonight-going to the movies, so my husband an I are trying to find someplace to go alone for dinner.

Everything looks great!

Vicki.. I can't believe your picture of the campfire!

My son just started as a CM in the rec department for the summer. (He's practically grown up at the resort -- we've been going since he was 8 years old!) Yesterday was his first "real" day at work and he was doing the campfire. He was kinda unsure about it, but we talked to him afterwards and he said he thought he did OK! LOL

People don't post campfire pictures very often, and sure enough there is one of Harry! (He's the CM on the far left, about halfway down in your picture.)

BTW, he is supposed to do the "Kids Night Out" tonight -- he thought he was going to do the younger kids and they were going to see Narnia. You will have to ask your kids about him.

(And be sure to report back to me how he's doing, )

Oh wow, yes they announced that it was his first time doing the campfire-he did great!
He did go tonight to Narnia with the kids. I think he sat with my son-it's hard to get information out of him(my son) but I think he said he sat with Evan(another boy) and Harry at the movies.

Thanks for the update. It's absolutely killing me that I can't be there to see him. (Although I know it would make him nervous, so he's better off this way.)

And don't worry -- it's hard getting info out of Harry, too. I think it's a "guy thing".

Thanks..

Love HHI

Congrats to Harry!! I'm sure he's doing a great job.

Vicki -- Thank you for the report and pictures! Your kids are adorable!!

P.S. It's NOT a guy thing. We call our son the "Huntsville Broadcasting System."

Great Picures. Thanks for sharing - sounds like you guys are having a great time.

I forgot to mention that I have wireless in my room.
I'm on my balcony now-the signal is stronger here than it was by the pool yesterday.
We got to the pool at 9:30 this morning-the kids found a couple of kids they met last night at KNO and played with them. We had lunch there and stayed there until 2:30, we had to come back and get cleaned up for "Gators..not Crocs".
There seemed to be a lot more empty chairs at the pool today as compared to yesterday.
They had pool games at the Beach House at 2:00 today, so maybe everyone went there instead.

We didn't sign up fopr the BBQ because last time we didn't think it was very good, plus I have braces and can't eat corn on the cob or ribs, so we are going to Sticky Fingers for an early dinner and coming back for the games and pool party at 6:30.

I have pics on Shutterfly, but they're mostly of my kids, so kind of boring, so I will just embed some that I took of the scenery and stuff tomorrow.

Vicki,
Thanks for posting the great pictures! The kids are growing up so fast! It's so cool to see everyone having fun at my favorite place and Harry starting as a CM!

You mentioned the weather being gloomy. We have had some bad weather come through the area over the last couple of days. Please keep a weather eye out.

Here in the Low Country of Georgia and South Carolina, it can rain almost any day of the year.

Make sure you get down to Signe's!

 

[Kathy2130]

We are checking in on 6/29 and will be sure to tell Harry that we read about him on disboards!! We are staying til 7/5 so I'm sure we will have many chances to meet him.

We are sooooo ready for this trip.

Kathy, Rich and Sam (almost 11 - any other boys going to be there?)

They are growing up so fast! Wah! But as I was listening to babies cry at dinner tonight while our two were at Kids Night Out, I realized that it's not all bad. LOL
This is the best place ever, and we only have a day and a half left.

Tomorrow we're doing the Low Country Nature Walk-can't wait-we've done a lot of activities this week, lots of fun!
