Seabrook Island- Part 2

I do love pictures and I love to document my family vacations, so I have a ton more pictures of our trip this summer.  The pictures show how happy we all are when we are there.  I hope these will be memories my children have with them forever and will always hold this place in their heart.  I know we will be spending many more years here and hoping we continue to make wonderful memories.

 Blake helped Julian with a kid fishing tournament they have every Wednesday at Bohicket Marina.  I was wondering how this was going to go, neither have very much patience.  Blake is a very good teacher and helped Julian learn to fish.  And almost at the end of the hour, they caught a 10 inch fish, which put him tied for 1st place!  Nice job Blake and Julian, and it earned Julian a shirt.  

 Mommy and gee it a try helping him.  I thought we had something here, but it was just the bottom of the river.  (thought I was going to come out ahead)

 You can tell by Julian's face, that he wasn't going to touch this fish.  But he was really happy.

 Julian and Blake's cheering squad.  Lilly and Alex patiently waiting to see some fish.

 The kids are definitely water babies.  They love to be in the pool or ocean.  Very hard to get them out once we got there.  

 Papa taking the kids in the ocean on one our walks.  They are not afraid at all.  they wanted to get out there and jump the waves.  

 Julian checking out the incoming waves.  

 Alex giving Charley a little hug.

I still have many more pictures to post.  Stay tuned.

Seabrook vacation- Part I

Since we were down in South Carolina for Jess's wedding, we decided to make it our vacation for the summer and to stay for 2 weeks.  We had a great time with our family and friends.  The kids had so much fun everyday.  We were always doing an activity.  The kids are definitely beach-water babies.  They love to swim in the pool, play int he sand at the beach, jump the waves, take long strolls after dinner, pet the horses, watch fireworks.  There was always something fun to do to keep my 3 little active children busy and tired.  

 Alex, Kinsley, and Lilly enjoying their first time to the pool together, and May May trying to keep up with all 3 little ones.  A very challenging task for these 3 active ones.  No sitting still in the Stanford kids.

 Lilly Alex and Julian.  The goggles were a big hit even though they were way too big for the twins.

 The day can't get much better than this.  Eating lunch together with the beach as our back drop.  The kids all loved a being together and act like they see each other all the time.  Wish they could more.

 Best girl pals

 Uncle Blake would bring the boat around to the beach.  Julian loved getting a ride with him.  No fear of boats or sea sickness allowed on the Colquitt side.  

 Chris and the twins getting a late ride after the dinner reception Friday night.  

 Beach day with family.  David playing in the sand with the twins.  Mary, Chris, Kelly and Anne at the beach.  

 The girls:  Mary, Jenn, Kelly and Anne

 Patrick bonding with his new nephew.  

 So funny to watch Lilly play at the beach for this impromptu beach day.  Note no bathing suit.  We weren't planning on getting wet, just a stroll on the beach with Charley.  Lilly would sit in the sand and poor the wet sand all over her like a mud bath.  I would have never done this as a child.  I hated getting dirty.  

 Jess and Alex.   (Alex not cooperating today on posing for a picture)

 Alex and Lilly running in the ocean.  

 Charley made the trip to the wedding.  Julian and the twins are totally in love.

 Stacy, Kelly, myself with the 3 little ones in the pool.  It is always great getting to spend time together. We always have so much fun with each other.  (note: neither of my twins wanted me to hold them as long as Stacy and kelly were around.  Thank goodness Kinsley liked me and let me hold her.)
