4th of July

My parents have the family over for the 4th every year for lunch and swimming fun. Thanks Mimmy & Pops--it's our favorite day of the summer! The girls playing with Pops before everyone gets there

The girls love their Uncle D

Hilton Head!

We went to Hilton Head Island last week with Jeff's family and had such a great time. It was good to get away for awhile and the girls LOVED their first beach experience. Macey would have stayed in the waves with Jeff all day and Madison was content going between the water and digging in the sand.

Their first walk on a beach--they ran right into the water

Madison was a little more wary

Papa and Daddy did most of the water stuff since I don't like to get in the ocean

Working hard in the sand

They finally figured out how to use the floaties on the trip and they loved their freedom

Madison would jump off the side constantly

Dinner at Hudson's

The clown after dinner at Hudson's. All the girls' got their hands painted except for Maddie Leigh who was a little scared of her.

She got a balloon anyways

Macey was such a big girl--kept her hand perfectly still while she painted it.

The finished product

Just waking up from a nap

Macey's favorite food--sucking ranch dip off of anything

Baby deer at the petting zoo

They loved the horses--they kept pointing and saying Neigh, Neigh!

Went crabbing one day and caught 6 before told we needed a permit

The dead horshoe crab Papa and Bebe found on the beach--Macey was very intrigued

Madison's first pony ride...she was a little unsure

Macey wasn't scared at all
