beach vacay

Chris and I packed up Cam (and what seemed like the house) and headed for South Carolina recently for my cousin’s wedding and some beach time. We set out early in the week so I could help with last minute wedding tasks, just like her mom helped me for my wedding. I’m so glad we were able to do so, since that meant more time with the Guess girls!

Hannah singing her version of “Hey Stephen”

I wish I had more to share, but I was too busy dancing with my small date. He was rocking out, bouncing up and down to the beat. I was worried that the loud music and dancing crowd would overwhelm him, but I was wrong. 

After the wedding we heading to Hilton Head Island with all the Guess girls (minus the newlywed) for some beach fun. And we took it very easy, just beach and pool.

Hannah, this time singing to her biggest fan.

First time in the sand, and very curious.

Sand dollars!

Found a bunch of sand dollars by shuffling our feet in the ocean. We returned them to their home after a quick photo opp on the sand. While doing so we were told to hurry up by a resident, because life guards frowned upon such things. Guess too many people take them for souvenirs. 

 Noah decided that he liked the taste of sand.

Dad catching the waves and a smile

Boogie boarding was a favorite pastime of the boys. My dad, brother and Chris all enjoyed time riding the waves. I was just thankful for the wind causing the waves. It was HOT!

Night time beach walk with my boys!

Wind vs. hair

Our condo was on the other side of a small park and a beautiful shaded walkway.

Becca enjoying all the nephew time she could get.

We had such a nice time in Hilton Head Island. The road trip there was pretty easy, we left at 8 p.m. and drove straight there overnight. Cam woke up once when we reached the mountains, but fell asleep fast. We only stopped once! We tried the same thing on the way home, but things did not work out the same way. Maybe we hit the mountains too soon and his ears bothered him not letting him rest. He was UPSET, but we kept moving since we didn’t think it would be any better the next day. He finally passed out at 12:30, and we were so thankful. Chris and I were beat when we reached home and Cam was ready to go! Thank goodness for naps.
