They Did What? ~ Vacation 2011

On our first full day of vacation, we started out at the BEACH!!  I can't tell you how happy that makes me!  For the past couple of years, Reagan and Cooper have hated going to the beach ~ so much so that I gave in and we spent all our time at the pool as to avoid having unnecessary tantrums.  But today, we were on the BEACH, playing in the sand, jumping waves and having a great time.  See for yourself!!

Of course, we had ice cream from the FROZEN MOO for dessert

(wish you) We're Here!! - Vacation 2011

Our summer vacation for 2011 has begun!! We arrived in Hilton Head early this evening and the kids wasted no time getting into the pool swimming.  Gigi and Bubba were gracious enough to swim with them while Greg and I did the grocery shopping for the week.  Here are a few pictures from our 1st evening!

can't wait to hit the beach tomorrow (who am I kidding, the kids don't like the beach)
Reagan showing off her newly learned swimming skills to Gigi and Bubba
Cooper splashing in the pool
the kids have so much fun with Gigi and Bubba
Cooper showed off his swimming skills too
You see that?
Looks like the "frog" and the "shark" are history.  Reagan and Cooper are swimming (for the most part) by themselves.  Can't wait to see what the rest of the week has in store!!
