Hilton Head 2011 : Picture Overload

This year, my parents treated my little family and my brother and his friend to a trip to the beach for our graduations. He graduated in May from high school and I graduate next week from college!! We had a really great time and it was nice to get away from the house and just relax. My mom fixed most of our meals and they took us out a nice dinner one night. We were all kind of spoiled and pampered, whether she meant to do that or not-hah! There was a chance of rain the entire week we were there, but we got really lucky and it only rained some Thursday afternoon and late Thursday night. It was cloudy/rainy on Friday as well, but we had already decided to go ahead and go home a day early, which worked out nicely because it wasn't a really pretty day anyways. My sweet, precious Cayson is going through his terrible twos right now and he hadn't gotten as much sleep as he needed during the week, so we were all kind of exhausted and ready to get back to our own beds and routine hoping that would help his attitude a little. Even with his moments of exhaustion, frustration, and temper tantrums we had a good time.

Here's a little recap in pictures:

We had alligators in the pond behind our house we stayed in. Josh loved this. He got to feel like someone from swamp people.

Mom cheesing the first night there.

The boys and me before going to the beach.



We got them these surfboards when we got there. Seriously, they were the best $34.00 spent!  The boys loved them!

Here's our alligator. We named him Pablo :)







 Worn out!

 We went down to the harbor. It is so pretty! They also have music and kids activities, a playground shops and restaurants!


 Salty Dog for lunch one day.

 At the Sea Trawler. It was sooo good!!
