Vacation Part 3

Here is the last part of our vacation! Our last 3 days were spent like the others, at the beach and the pool! I'm going to get right to the pictures, since I know that's really what everyone cares about!
Lily looking out the window. I love the way this picture is lit:

The sunset from the June 3rd: Same sunset again, just more clouds:

The beach access we used every day:
Look Ma...I caught an 18 pounder!!:
Lily loves to hang upside down like this....she was laughing up a storm the whole 20 seconds Sean was holding her in that position!

Look at those eyes:
While watching the sunset on the beach this night, Lily thought it would be funny to bite my arm. Sean thought it would be funny to photograph my reaction.

Lily sinking her teeth in my arm:

"She BIT me!":
"She actually bit me!"
I just love how Lily looks so pleased with herself. Silly girl!

That same night there was a flock of pelican birds floating in the bay. There were about 4-5 of them that were just floating along, every now and them flying up to dive and catch a fish.


On our second to last day there, we went out to the state park beach...which is the beach where all the shells can be found. Normally this is my favorite beach on the island to visit, but with Lily, we were only able to get over there once the whole vacation. To get Lily to sleep, Sean and I took her for a long walk in the stroller down the beach. She slept the whole time, allowing Mommy to look for shells and get some pictures!
On our walk we discovered this really interesting memorial, or art piece. Someone (or maybe many people over time?) had taken drift wood, and arranged it with broken shells stacked or skewered on the wood. It was very neat!
This part of the "sculpture" reminds me of a camp fire:
Even though we were on the beach that you can usually find shells on, we only found a few nice enough to take home this trip. Here are a couple of the shells we found.
One of the nice olive shells we found:
One of the only 2 nice whelk shells I found:

After our walk we played some on the beach. Lily really enjoyed her sand bucket this day:
Stealing Daddy's sun glasses:

Someone is not happy here!


Me laughing at Lily spitting in my face:One of the things Lily started trying to do over vacation was look like she was about to take steps. She would stand up, then start to move like she was going to let go of whatever she was holding, and take a step. Then she would chicken out and sit. So no first step yet, but it looks like she'll be trying it soon! Here's a couple pictures of her attempting to take a step outside.
Moving one foot forward:
Chickening out and sitting down again:

Mmmmm...Salt water:
Looking pretty on our last day at the beach:
The crab we found on our walk that afternoon:
Of course Lily feel asleep on our walk:
Granny naps are the best!:
Last night at the beach:
Look at my 6 teeth!
Splashing in the waves:
Last sunset:

Thanks for taking a look at the multitude of photos I shared of our vacation! Edisto Island is one of my favorite places on Earth, and I wanted to share it's beauty with you all! I can't wait till the next time we go back (because we WILL go back!) Some day I would even like to live there for a year or two!
I have one last picture before I'm done. Here's one of the only pictures we got of the three of us, taken the last night on the island:
Thanks for reading!
