Seabrook Island
It's our family's special place, our place to getaway and just "be"
It's our place where we can sit and relax....
the boys can spend as much time as they wish watching TV, eat whatever and whenever they want, play pool, play ping pong, throw the football, watch more TV including a lot of sports....
it's the place where our imaginations can run wild and the girls find "treasures"....
it's our place where we all play together and invent games on the beach....
it's our place where we can be loud and run free and just live minute by minute as if we don't have a care in the world....
it's also my place to take that spontaneous pic of all SIX and they actually, sort of, agree with smiles on their faces and a bit of willingness in their souls - so very thankful!
Thankfully, Seabrook is a place not too far from home that allows me to pack the children and take off for a few days....and then Ryan comes in mid-week to save us right about the time we are all about to lose our minds without him :) Ryan is our glue so we miss him greatly when he isn't with us!
Our week was spent biking around the island....on this particular morning, everyone rallied ahead while Maddox and I trailed behind. Such great time with her....she sang to me and talked to me and laughed with me....I told her she was my "radio".....
North Beach
While the boys tossed the football, the girls ventured out into the water just enough to get wet and freeze during our bike ride home....
Spring Break proves to be a fabulous time to be at the beach if you just want to relax and be merry....wrap in a towel and you are set for the day!
The girls played "bury me" in the sand....MK had a bit of a time getting out!
A spontaneous nap here and there at the beach is a win-win for all!
This girl....she is in full-toddler-two-year-old-destroyer mode.....she is precious in every possible way but whoo she is a busy one....here she is pictured on the table....we were trying to play a peaceful game of cards! When not on the table, she could be found getting the silverware and setting the table, pulling apart every twisty tie she could find in the kitchen drawers, throwing everything in her sight into the trash, getting into the snacks that were within reach....she makes us all laugh so much and then in the same breath we all cringe to hear her cry - her cry is usually out of not getting her way and it just isn't fun to hear!
For a moment, painting was a great idea....both of the littles enjoyed this little activity!
The children and I made our routine "gator check" bike rides....so fun to ride the island and see what we can find....on this morning, we found two baby gators and we didn't stick around too long to see where the mama was!
Walking through the trails is always an adventure...I will say, I was a bit skeptical as you just don't ever know what is camouflaged in the brush around you waiting to jump out....eek, I was breathing a bit easier once we were back on our bikes :)
Scooter time....always fun to ride a scooter and play tricks....and with our girls we are constantly reminded that what one can do, another is always going to try to do too!
