The Beach

We are in Hilton Head for our annual beach trip with Mark's family. This is much later in the year for our trip, but with the wedding in June and baby Hunter's due date in August, we decided to come to the beach in September. The weather has been perfect - not too hot, but still hot enough! Mark was expecting golf rates to be lower...only he found out that this past Monday the rates went up as the golf season started. We've had a great time so far. Here are some pictures - but more will follow, I'm sure!Ethan and Nina after church on Sunday - we thought pink for Miss Paula without knowing everyone was wearing pink that night.... Pa and Ro Ro with Ethan and Nina before heading out to dinner on Monday


The newlyweds....Jaime's birthday too



Nina loves the beach!










Ethan digs and digs and digs











Well, that's all for now. I'm sure I'll try at least one more time to get some better pictures of the kids on the beach. It's not as easy as it looks! I'm glad my job isn't taking pictures of children! I'd be poor!!!

I love the photos, especially the new photo at the top of the page! Looks like a wonderful trip and great time with family. Hope you enjoy every single moment.

So glad you are having a good trip! Definitely nice going later when the crowds aren't there and it isn't 100 degrees! If we ever coordinate our trips, then Mark could join our guys for golf since they only have to pay the cart fees - much cheaper!! See you soon!

Kathy said...

Such fun! Glad you get to do that each year.
