Beachfront Weekend

This past weekend we headed out to Edisto Island, near Charleston for a nice beachfront vacation with the Ciomperlik's, Glenn's and Ryan's parents. We have never splurged on a beach front house, but since it's off season it was reasonably priced. We are now spoiled and will have to get beachfront from now on out - it was amazing. Especially with three little ones, we really didn't need to leave the house to enjoy the beach. You can't beat it!



View from our deck.
We tried to take Katelyn for a walk on the beach. She had woken up early from her nap, so we kept her swaddled to protect her from the sun. But it didn't last long b/c her hat fell off and blew into the water. Oh well...next time she will enjoy it more!

Hanging out! Doesn't she look comfy.

Before we left we tried to get one quick pic of the three of us on the beach. It was pretty windy and Katelyn was getting tired and fussy. Needless to say we didn't have much time to pose, so it's not the best pic, but you get the idea :o)

While Logan & Emery played on the beach towels, Katelyn slept! Pretty typical - she still sleeps through most of the day and night!

Clayton playing with Logan and Emery, while Sara & Julie get some R&R!

The strip that our house was on, so pretty!

This was by far my favorite spot. Katelyn and I spent a lot of time swinging and listening to the waves. Who needs a white noise machine when you have the real thing! She was so relaxed all weekend and I really believe it's because of the waves! Wish we lived on the water and she would hardly ever cry! :o)

Sorry this one is sideways...
The boys had a great time fishing. They took our boat and one of Ryan's clients that lives in the area. They caught a TON of fish - black drum, flounder, red fish and a bonnet head shark.




Lex with his big red fish catch. He had to throw it back because it was too big!





Pooped out !

What a great view! The weather was prefect, we can't wait to go back!

What a great place to go to. Hmmmmmm... I'm getting this picture of deli turkey sandwiches on the beach at Thanksgiving. Ha!
I'm glad y'all do these kind of things with your friends. I know it is great fun.

Sounds like a great idea to me too.
I really love the picture of Katelyn with the ocean in the background. I would love to live there too!!

Oh, what a great place! G'Ma and I vote "turkey at the beach"! It is one pretty place and it does look like Miss Katelyn loves the peaceful, calm surroundings! Just imagine what she will be like in one year! She is so cute swaddled and sleeping! Grammy
