Family Vacation 2008

We went to Hilton Head for our annual family vacation last week. It was a blast, as usual! Liam was spoiled rotten the whole time, he loved being held and cuddled and played with. He was such a good baby the entire week!


We decided to take a break from our usual offshore fishing trip this year to try kayaking...it was great! The scenery was beautiful and we had a great time...despite my kayak not having a rudder (which made me look like the novice I really was) and my dad taking a spill (the pictures of which I promised would not "end up on the internet"). All in all, it was a great morning!
And here is the little monkey's first dip in the ocean. He seemed not to mind, the water was calm and warm. I'll post some video of the experience soon...




Aunt Brie playing paddleball...OK, not playing anymore, just goofing off. Cool picture though!
Aunt Amy demonstrating a mean serve...
Aunt Brie and "Aunt" Jackie
Liam loves his Uncle Nick!
The best part about being on vacation...sleeping in!






This is the face of a hungry child...Where is this kid's bottle???
Ahh...there it is...
Quiet at last!


More hijinks on the beach for our fireworks show...

A week never seems long enough...and next year's trip seems so far away! It did make it easier to leave, though, knowing we'll be back to HH in October for Kristin's wedding...yay!

These pics are SO precious. It looks like y'all had a fantastic time and appears that Liam's going to be the perfect beach bum! I'm also especially impressed with Amy and Brie's paddleball talents. Do they play paddleball in the Olympics? Maybe they could sign up for Beijing?! :)

What cool jumping pictures! Those girls have some crazy air time. I am impressed!
I hope you have just as much in HHI for the wedding! Can't wait to see you soon...it's coming up fast!
