krewetland: June 2012

A few weeks ago we went to Hilton Head for our first family beach vacation. We stayed at my parents along with Todd and Maribeth. We also enjoyed visiting with Holly, Nathan and Abby for a few days and seeing Jim, Patty and Connor. The trip had a few mishaps with the ac breaking 150 miles into the drive and tropical storm beryl but it was a great vacation and a lot of fun was had. The kids loved the beach and are ready to go back.

Here are some pictures... not in any particular order

Hadley enjoying Poppy and PaPa's long driveway

So great to see their friend Abby again

Hadley flying a kite on the golf course... tropical storms approaching are good for kite flying

Madeleine flying the kite

Hadley and her barbie kite... she kept saying look barbie we are at the beach until barbie flew away. Barbie went so far she might have made it back to Missouri.

PaPa teaching Hadley how to bury her feet in the sand

Jim testing out Todd's kite

Todd and Maribeth about to get air from the kite

Tommy loved walking in the sand and water

Trying to get the perfect beach picture

Note Hadley's elephant dress... the sample dress in the store had the elephant and she fell in love with it. She was so sad I ordered the dress with her name instead so I went back in and changed hers to the elephant. She was so excited for her special dress. She was in the Elephant room at school so I think she thought it was perfect for her.

Madeleine waiting to see Gregg Russell

Hadley holding her sign asking Gregg to pick her to sing.

Hadley singing the ABCs... she did great up there and was so adorable

Typical attempt at getting a good picture

This picture is just so Hadley

Madeleine's first reaction to the beach. She went straight to the water and laid down. Hadley's first reaction was to start screaming excitedly that she saw a crabbie and try to pick it up. Madeleine jumped on top of the cooler for that.
