Spring Break

So for spring break we headed down to Hilton Head, South Carolina.  It was about a 12 hour drive, but we were able to split it up to about 6 hours a day.  The first day we were there the weather was beautiful.  So we luckily headed to the beach. 

Kali just ran right to the water and was laying in the waves as they came crashing up.  She truly is a beach lover.


 Bristol and Kali enjoying the water.

Dora and I chilling on the beach and watching the kiddos.  I have Gwyn asleep in my arms.
So we were wondering why the people walking by kept staring at us.  We then looked behind us and Kali had stripped down to nothing and was dancing around.  She is quite the nudist in our family.
Gwyn enjoying the nice sunshine.

So like I said above it was a good thing that we went and enjoyed the nice weather because it didn't last long.  Practically the rest of our trip it was cloudy and rainy.  Of course the day before we left it was sunny again, but quite windy.  Then the day we left was just gorgeous.  We still had a great time and it was great to get away from home and go somewhere we have never been.

Eating on the beach!

So Wednesday was just pouring rain all day.  I don't know if you can see it in the background, but the rain is just pouring off the window shades.
We managed to take a walk on the beach almost every evening.  We had to get our beach fix somehow.
The girls loved collecting shells on the beach.  We came home with a big bag full.
The car ride home.  As you can see especially on Kali's face they had been eating powdered doughnuts for breakfast.




We had a great time and are so thankful to my mom and dad for letting us use some of their timeshare so we could have a great vacation.  We hope to go back again sometime, maybe when it is not so rainy.

So also on a side note, sorry that this post is so crazy.  The new system has been a bit of a challenge with this many pictures.  Hopefully I will get better with it.

Torture of Gwyn

Bristol laughed so hard when I put a clean diaper on Gwyn's head. It looked like a George Washington wig or something. Getting a picture was tricky because Gwyn kept taking it off before I could get a good snap. A few good ones came out though. I think it helped that Bristol was laughing so hard that it made it infectious for Gwyn to laugh and smile too.

This is my favorite picture. I love her happy little face accompanied by her tongue sticking out.


Gwyn does this face all the time now.
