St. Simons

Two beach trips within a month! I wish I could say that I was "beached out"...but no-I miss St. Simons already! This year was supposed to be our last at this particular conference but they all had a meeting and decided to do it again next year!! Im already counting down the days...

We had so much fun this year! We have really gotten to know our way around and where all the fun places to go are (aside from the beach and pool of course ). The kids favorite part of it was probably swimming in the pool without water wings-it was shallow enough to allow them to stand up and when they got tired instead of relying on me to catch them so they loved the freedom of it. Hannah liked it too-as long as the water was warm...which it was!! REALLY warm. Even the ocean was like bath water...(a little ew, but whatever). Hannah was scared of the waves though..It was noisy and a little intimidating to her, so every time we would go near it she would just cuddle up to me and bury her head in my shoulder-lil' sweet thing!

Everyone slept well there-Hannah had a closet all to herself and Caitlin and Matthew shared a big kid room-and so it felt like we had plenty of space when we needed a break from the sun. During that time C and M learned how to (sort of) play yahtzee and monopoly. Its so great that they are getting big enough to play games with!

All in all it was wonderful! We just love St. Simons....here are some pictures!




Laying out...and digging.
Hanging out with daddy in the waves! They managed to find a ton of little crabs and sand dollars-I guess the warm temperatures brought everyone out to play :)

"No pictures here please!"
Mommy and The Babies
Daddy and Caitlin and Matthew. In their new bathing suits. Which we had to buy first thing because mommy forgot to pack them.

This crocodile (alligator?) was swimming around skippers fish camp..where we had dinner...(it was right on the water)...hoping that someone was going to fall in...yikes!
At the pool! These shots are a little blurry...I think my camera was sweating :)

The fam...(the crocodile/alligator was right below us)
Lil' Caitlin. Doing her latest camera smile-
