Beach Pics 2009


We spent three weeks at the beach this summer. Jordan had to get back for her girls camp. We have spent the last 21 summers there but this was the first for a short amount of time. Next summer may even be more different as my sister has her house for sale in hopes of getting her to Texas. As much as I love the beach, that is a trade that I will take.

Love this picture.

Tom took more time off this year to be with us a little longer. I know that we all liked that.

Kids taking a breather.

This summer was no different as far as beach days go. We packed up for the day, had enough food to keep the boys happy, lots of surf and sand and of course running off the beach some afternoons to take cover from their lightning and thunderstorms. The lifeguards did clear the water one time as a very cool dark cloud was sweeping across the ocean. It was bait fish jumping out of the water everywhere. It was crazy to watch. It was suspected that sharks had them surrounded. I have to say that was the end of swimming that day. That is the first time that I had ever seen that on Hilton Head. Usually it is just dolphins!

This is what we call baby jail at the beach. Dig a hole deep enough so that he can not get out.

Our surfer dude.

This boogie board finally met its death. I am not sure how many summers we had it but for a very long time.
We actually left it at the beach one time and the next day found it.

Jordans favorite activity: sand sculptures

Jackson favorite activities: wave riding and making sandballs


Larson favorites activities: any boogie board event
Logans favorite activity: seeing how much sand he can get on himself and anyone around him.

We love the beach!
