This past Saturday, Ella Ann, Spencer, and I loaded up our car to the brim and headed to the beach! This was our second trip to Hilton Head with Spencer's immediate family. We had a huge house on the beach and stayed all week with the family. We had SO much fun and were so very sad to come home this morning. The weather was pretty good, despite the raging winds each day that made for a less than desirable trip to the beach, but we all packed it up each day that we could get out and did it anyway! It rained the last couple of days, but we were still able to go to the beach one last time when it cleared off Friday afternoon. We enjoyed awesome meals in Hilton Head and only stayed in to cook one night. We all had a good time catching up and just hanging out as a family because when we usually get together it's never any longer than a couple of days.
The kids were just great together! Seth tried his best to hang in there with Ella Ann and Carter and would love to sit and watch them play all the while injecting many squeals of glee! Ella Ann and Carter were inseparable all week; in fact, we rarely had to play with them except for maybe Aunt Kasey because both kids are completely enamored with her and want her around all the time and when she's not there they ask for her until she comes back! :) I think she's their favorite playmate, besides each other! Most of the time Carter and Ella Ann would just run around in circles, literally, chasing one another while screaming and laughing! Honestly they would just make us all dizzy!
Both Carter and Ella Ann were not too fond of the ocean, but loved the sand. Ella Ann took a little while to pick up a foot and move from one spot to the other, but she eventually got used to the sand and would play in it. She wouldn't really go without shoes and hated it when her hands got sand on them, which was every 5 seconds because she kept digging in it! Spencer and I finally got her close to the water and eventually in it on our second day, but she refused with a big "NO!!" any time after that. I guess we were just lucky that day. As I mentioned earlier, it was quite windy every day, so when you see our pictures all of us have horrible hair so please don't think that I actually styled Ella Ann's hair in a greasy mohawk! :)
It was much easier to upload all of the photos to my Facebook site, so please click HERE and you will get to view all of them instead of just a few. If you click on the first one, Dad, you can make it bigger and just hit the "next" button in the top right corner for the next picture. :) However, please look below at Ella Ann one year later.....

Ella Ann in Hilton Head last year at this time. She was 10 months old.
She kept wanting to eat the sand!
Then.....
and now at 22 months. Now she wouldn't even touch the sand OR water!
Just testing it!
