Due to Hurricane Irma's constantly changing track and Scott's nasty case of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, we weren't sure in the days leading up to the trip that it was actually going to happen. Originally, we were set to go to Hilton Head, but with the mandatory evacuation and no idea of when it would be lifted, we decided to change locations. Uncle Craig was able to find a great condo in North Myrtle at a great last minute/hurricane rate!!! While the rest of the family headed down Sunday, we waited until Tuesday due to Scott's HFMD. He ended up having a much more extreme case than either of the kids.
After the storm blew through Sunday and Monday, we had pretty perfect weather throughout the rest of the week. We definitely took advantage of it with lots of beach and pool time! Lydia surprised us by deciding she liked the beach, water and sand included! Just six weeks ago on our Edisto trip with my family, she hated it and cried the entire time we were on the beach. Its crazy how quickly things can change with little kids!
Uncle Michael was so sweet to make sand castles for Jacob, complete with roads and bridges!
Jacob continues to love the ocean! He had so much fun jumping waves and going out in the "deep end" with Daddy.
And while we got some great shots of everyone else with our kids, the quest for a decent picture of our little family continues...sigh.
Jacob was so excited to go on a night beach walk with his flashlight. He's been waiting for this little adventure since our Edisto trip. To make things even more exciting, Grandaddy had an extra head lamp!
On our last night we ate pizza on the beach to finish out a wonderful week. We're so grateful for the time we had and eagerly look forward to the next time we'll all be together!
