Vacay Day One

We love, love, love St. Simon's. This is the third year we have gone...Ryan went many times as a wee lad. This time, Aunt Carrie was able to go with us. We rented a car, based on the fact our hoopties (I just spelled check this word at blogger suggested "Hooters")probably wouldn't make it there and back, and the girls had to test out the trunk before we loaded up all of our junk, I mean, necessities.

Hannah begged to go to the beach the whole 5 hours down there. We arrived a little after 5, so we suited up and headed out. I wasn't sure how Lilian would react, because of a very unsuccessful sprinkler incident we had a month ago. She was a little hesitant to stand on the sand at first, but quickly adjusted her steps and seemed to enjoy herself. This is one of her many super model poses from the week. Not a fan of the ocean breeze.
Hannah was THRILLED!!! She ran, jumped and squealed all the way to the ocean the second her feet touched the sand. I'm diggin' her wind blown do as well:)
This is as far as Lillian would go without having to be pulled. She's a strong little thing, btw.
Ryan tried to "explain" to her how fun the ocean is. Notice her little foot. She wasn't a sand fan either...THAT day.
Remember "Funny Farm"? You know the "cue the deer" scene? That's how I felt SSI greeted us that afternoon. A few minutes after getting out in the ocean, 2 dolphins were "cued" the leap 20 feet from us and about 5 minutes later, after a brief sprinkle, a rainbow appeared out over the ocean. Pretty neat:) All of that ended pretty quickly when Hannah fell into a sand castle pit and bruised her entire face. Oh well.

More to come later. We had a blast!
