Island Fun


Nana and Papa treated us to a delightful week on Hilton Head Island again this year.

If you'd like to see how Benson's practically a teenager as compared to last year, click here to see pictures from our First Annual Hilton Head Island Beach trip featured on the blog, well, last year.

We rented bikes this time... and I'd say the little guy was a fan...

Here are my boys, embarking on the beach for the first time in a year...
(remember, the Daytona Beach pics were after these,
because we're doing the summer in reverse 'round here)

Do you think Nana and Papa were excited to see this little guy or what?

Nana got this shovel for Benson. Rather than digging in the sand, like a normal child, he preferred to SMACK the incoming waves with the thing.
Here he is waiting for another one to come in...

This picture makes me want to sing about puff the magic dragon frolicking in the sea.
Not that my son reminds me of a dragon.
But there is definitely some frolicking going on here....

There were some deep conversations that took place between these two...
and if I heard,
"Nana, tell me a th-tory"
once, I heard it a million times!

We were there on the fourth of July, and the air force did a fly over down the coast.
What a joy it is to be an American!!!
(you can see the plane in the wayyyy far distance in the triangle of the two middle flags...)

Any time Peaches is with her Nana, she's in heaven.. and this time was no different....
