Fourth of July (a little late)

I know you are tired of seeing beach pictures, but playing in the sun is pretty much what we've been up to this summer.  I have been meaning to post this vacation for quite a while, and I finally sorted through the many photos.  We took a wonderful beach trip with Jacob's family to Hilton Head in July and had a fabulous time - visiting, relaxing, playing, eating, sleeping...that about sums it up!


We played at the beach...

and collected shells...

We did a lot of walking to and from the beach...

We even had a photo shoot...

Some photos didn't turn out as planned...

But we got to play afterwards...

We dug in the sand...

We flew a kite...

and counted new baby cousin's fingers...

and played some more...

and got in a little snuggle time...

and flew more kites...

We hung out near new baby cousin again...

and "laid-out" just like Aunt Alli...

We did some reading...

while the boys were enthralled with new gadgets...

We got some cute photos of the babes...

and patiently waited for the big family photo shoot...

All the grandchildren waited patiently too...

We finally got the money shot...

We played a little four square...

and dug some more in the sand...

and played some more...

and got buried in the sand...

We relaxed in the hot tub...

and enjoyed cousin time...

We also celebrated 4th of July...

We lathered up daily...

and snuggled with Grandmother daily...

and played follow the leader...

We did a lot of chatting...

and enjoyed afternoon bike rides...

and craft time...

and pedicure sessions...

and finally, more fun in the sun...
