Get your own

At the end of July we went to Hilton Head Beach. We had a lot of fun relaxing and playing in the ocean (the water was very warm). The waves were perfect for the boys. They could easily go out on their boogie boards and ride the waves back in. The second day we were out Hayden started to cry and said a crab pinched him. We just kept telling him that it was probably a shell (there were a lot of broken shells). The next day Ryan called me over to show me a crab crawling around in the water. So, maybe it was a crab but we didn't tell Hayden that or he would not get back into the water. I did have him wear his water shoes to keep his feet safe. The hotel we stayed at had pools for everyone. They had a children's pool, a regular 3ft to 5ft, and the older boys had fun diving into the dive pool that went to 16ft. The boys were excited to sit on the beach and have daiquiris. Hunter loved finding ocean creatures. He found hermit crabs, Sea slugs, star fish, and one day we saw a jelly fish. Noah loved to go far out in the ocean with his dad. One time I was out with him and the waves were coming in pretty high for him but he refused to let me hold his hand. Colin was so happy to play in the sand and a few times he decided to taste it. Then he would say, "yucky". As we left the boys just kept asking if we could go back again.
