For Labor Day weekend, our little family of three traveled to Hilton Head, SC to visit Matt's sister and her family.
We splashed in swimming pools.
Traveled down water slides.
Ate the world's largest pizza. (Compare the pizza in front of me to the regular sized pizza box on the stove behind me.)
And had the best time with the best cousins!
After spending several days in Hilton Head, Matt, Ava and I drove to Garden City Beach, SC where we spent a week resting and relaxing!
For the most part, our days looked something like this:
Go for an early morning ride in the stroller.
End up at Ava's favorite place. The Garden City Pier. Ava loved running around the beams and splashing in the waves.
And posing for a ridiculously adorable picture.
We enjoyed some Mommy/Daughter snuggle time.
After leaving the pier, and returning to our towels, it was time for a mid-morning snack... Diva style.
Followed by drawing butterflies in the sand.
And making wading pools with Daddy.
Daddy taught Ava how to make sand drip castles.
And Ava splashed in the Ocean.
Ava and I enjoyed playing right at the water's edge.
After playing hard on the beach every day, Ava LOVED taking outdoor showers.
And going for evening golf cart rides.
We enjoyed spending time together. Plain and simple.
Occasionally, we went out to dinner.
And enjoyed evening strolls on the beach.
During one such evening stroll, we found someone to take a family picture.
We also spent some time on top of the Garden City Pier... Where Ava got her groove on.
The following picture was taken LAST year during our 2010 family beach trip....
And this was taken just this past week. Wow. How time flies.
I wonder what next year's picture will look like?
Thank you, Brian and Jennifer, for letting us stay at your place. Thank you, Garden City Beach, for always recharging our batteries. Thank you, Lord, for the many blessings you have given our family!
