A March Getaway

This past weekend, Dave's parents invited us to join them at Hilton Head. We ventured down Saturday morning, a little hesitant with Savannah in panties for such a long trip, but she did awesome. We met up with Dave's sister and her family at the Sandbox children's museum first.

Here are Savannah and Alyssa playing on the big ship in the museum

Next was the building area . . .
At the museum I probably missed the best picture, the one where yellow paint sprayed all over me! I was trying to get Savannah some paint out of this pump like jar and didn't realize it had a major clog in the spout. As I pressed down really hard the stuff squirted all over my hair, eyes, face, and shirt. What a mess! Thankfully it all washed off! We then headed to the condo where Savannah proceeded to unpack her suitcase while I was busy in the kitchen. By unpacking I mean throwing every item out! Susan came downstairs and said "um, Savannah is upstairs throwing everything out of her suitcase". Yep, when I got up there she had thrown every last thing out and then wanted me to "wrap" (she meant zip) it up! :)

Dave's parents rented bikes for us to ride and I calculated that we rode a total of over 2 hours on bikes alone.
Here she is all ready to ride in her cart!

We decided to take a picture of the "kids" before anyone got wet and dirty, good idea!

Savnanah loved the beach as usual and insisted on wearning her bathing suit under her dress . . . what a difference wearing a bathing suit is without a swim diaper! She ended up getting soaked the first day so her wonderful daddy gave up his shirt for her to wear.

It was just a little too big!

The second day we didn't let her even put a bathing suit on.
On the way back from the beach the last day we saw a huge alligator just out on the grass. How neat! The weather was awesome the entire trip and we truly enjoyed spending time with family before heading back to the routine of Charlotte! Thanks mom and dad Bachmann for such a wonderful trip!
