beach :))

Looks like it's one of our favorite weeks of the year :))

So love Hilton Head and our time with buds there.  Hard to believe this is our 10th annual trip together :)

Yes, Greer is holding a fish from the ocean ;)

Building...

...and visitin'.  Poor B was fighting strep the first day so he was up in the room a lot of the time :(

Favorite beach time in the evenings...

And seriously blown away by how big these are!

The mornings are pretty great too :))

Blessing their breakfast...love them so much :))

Greer always wakes last, but is full of smiles when she does :)

Ready to go!

So beautiful and fun :))

The Coopers arrived!

And it's so crazy that the kids are almost as tall as us now...our first year here, the bigs were babies!

It's too hard to leave the beach and outside fun to get dressed for dinner, so we've started mostly making or picking it up and just continuing on...

Oh, this series of pics...the teen years are almost here ;)

Love

B started feeling better after a couple of days...finally up to a bike ride on his Father's Day gift :)

And more evening beach time...goodness, it's hard to beat :))

The next morning, we got up early to watch the sun rise.  Seriously, one of my favorite beach memories ever...

Our five then rode down to Coligny for breakfast...sweet, sweet memories

French pastries...

...in my bike basket :)).  We took it to B's coffee shop of choice to sit outside there and enjoy.  Could've paused that time forever...

Heading out to the beach at the Coopers' house...we make quite the crew!

And back to their pool to play a bit there before heading back to rest...

Love :)

Meanwhile, the boys made a game with foam golf balls in the condo and then went for a walk on the beach :)

2005 and 2015...what a gift :)

Evening back at the Coopers with family friends of theirs and a fun overnight for the boys...

And one more beach day!

So so thankful for the annual visit there with these...it has been such a special tradition for our family and rounded out an amazing summer of travel this year.  We definitely wouldn't have chosen to go back to real life and schedules, but did so this fall with refreshed and full spirits.  Thanks God :))
