Hilton Head Beach Trip

We got back last night from our first family beach vacation.  We went to Hilton Head for a few days and had a great time!  Hannah loved the beach and Reagan sometimes liked it and sometimes hated it.  It was quite an adventure with all  4 of us sharing a hotel room!  Luckily we had a balcony for Sam and I to hang out on at night after the kids went to to bed.  Here is Hannah all ready to hit the beach!
 Daddy and the girls checking out the water.  Reagan is on Daddy's hip which is pretty much where she stayed most of the time that we spent at the beach.

 Reagan hated the water but liked playing in the sand.  When the tide was coming in and the water kept creeping up closer to her she would scream when the waves touched her even the littlest bit!
 On our second day we decided to rent some bikes and take the kids for a ride on the beach.  I think this was my favorite part of the whole trip.  What is more relaxing than a leisurely bike ride on the beach?

 Everything was great until about 15 minutes in when both kids lost their minds crying and we had to go back. Hannah was begging to take a nap at like 9:30 in the morning.  This whole trip was really exhausting to them!

1st nap of the day for Hannah, followed shortly after by another one and an early bedtime...

 Reagan did have some fun times at the beach.  Her favorite part was chasing the sea gulls.  This kept her busy for quite a while!




 All cleaned up and ready to go out to dinner!

 Reagan's stylish beach hair!
 Last day early morning beach outing.  The girls had a blast on the last day and collected shells and played in the sand.


 Reagan checking out a starfish! 
We had a great time!  Can't wait to do it again!!

The one of them in the bike carrier with you - priceless. So glad you guys had fun - the beach is a lot more work with kids, but the memories are totally worth it!
