Hilton Head

I'm reliving my annual trips to the Hilton Head.  

In 2009, we started a new tradition.

We arrived a few days early to enjoy some alone time. 

With morning walks on the beach

and quiet time with our  Maker.

This became our home away from home. 

Our little "Hidden Cove" was only a block from the ocean.

I enjoyed some much needed time with my baby girl.

My sister's family came on Thursday for the rest of the week.

My little ones adore their big cousin.

They spent alot of time together.

Sometimes just walking on the beach and holding hands

is better than doing anything. 

The girls enjoyed each other on the beach

We all got too much sun!

and away from the beach.

In 2009, these two walked hand in hand,

and enjoyed the sun and the sand together. 

We always did beach pictures. 

You can see how each year added a few more pounds. 

Ugh!

But we were are fat and happy!

This was before Connor-man.

Christina was actually pregnant.

She was in the morning-sickness stage.

I don't think she like garlic bread to this day.

I do have a wonderful son in law. 

He just doesn't do pictures.  

We picked out our favorite beach houses. 

And we dreamed BIG!

This was our walk to the beach everyday.

My children talk of having their own vacation beach. 

I know where we'll be spending my summers. 

Yesterday it got up to 93 degrees.

Lord, have mercy.

My hot flashes were flashing!

It feels like summer already.

Happy Monday, 

Bonnie:)
