Vacation Time- Hilton Head!

A few days after the recital Bill, the kids, and I traveled to SC to spend the week at Hilton Head. We rented a house from one of Bill's best friend. We got to spend time on the beach, bike riding, and visiting with Andy, his wife and son!

I love this pic of Laney and Eljah! They make a cute couple!

It was a great get-away for us. It was out first vacation without my parents so I was a bit nervous without the extra hands but we did it. Of course it was very tiring but I loved it! My parents did end up stopping by for a few days to surprise Mack for his 11th birthday. Mack celebrated his birthday with a cookie cake and crabs legs for almost every dinner!

The kids loved the beach! They got to see a live sea star, many crabs, and even a jelly fish.

They loved to jump into the waves and got the hang of riding on a boogie board. I have to admit that I was a bit stressed out the first day at the beach. Bill and Mack would venture out far in the ocean leaving me to watch both girls. They both wanted to jump the waves alone and the tide was strong so I had to be on high alert the whole time. But, it was worth hearing their giggles as the waves would hit them.

We ventured to different parts of Hilton Head and visited a horse farm and parks. This is a picture of Mack and Elli in a tree and a fun park in Sea Pines. Or coarse I did some shopping and we even made a trip the doctors to get medicine for Elli's ear infection. It would not be a true family vacation if one of the kids did not get sick!

It was truly a wonderful family vacation and we hope to make this a traditional vacation spot!
