In June (yes, I am still blogging about June...if I have any blog readers left, I am truly sorry! I just can't seem to keep up these days!)...anyway, in June, we went to the beach with my Dad, Amy and my sisters, Caroline and Merideth in Hilton Head, SC. We had a wonderful time! It was beautiful and so fun to be with family at the beach. Kate loved the sand this year (last year she cried if she even looked at the sand) and baby Caroline got to put her feet in the ocean for the first time.
The water was warm, and Kate loved the starfish and sand dollars. Caroline spent most of her time relaxing under an umbrella in the shade.
We hired a nanny service to watch the girls while we went out to dinner, but Kate vetoed having a nanny (she only likes for close family members to babysit her...we are going to have to work on this at some point), and so she ended up coming out to dinner with us most nights. Kate was on her best behavior (because she wanted to go to dinner every night and not stay with a nanny (even though the nanny was VERY nice)). Luckily, Caroline didn't mind having a nanny since she slept the whole time we were gone!:) And wow, we had some amazing meals!
Thank you Dad and Amy for such a great trip!!

Kate loved the pool!
Aunt Caroline braved the water
And showed Kate how to rock her shades...
These two are two peas in a pod
Kate loved practicing her kicks
Baby Caroline enjoyed the pool from her swing in the shade
Ahhh...this is the life!
Aunt Caroline, Kate, Amy and Merideth...so pretty!
Aunt Merideth's boyfriend, "Mr. Matt" helped entertain Kate. What a trooper!
Thank you, Matt and Merideth!
Ready for dinner! No nanny for this munchkin!

Loving on Aunt Caroline
Baby Emma got a new swing from Merideth and Matt. Baby Emma NEEDED to bring her swing to the beach with her....obviously!;)
Baby Caroline also requested to have her swing down at the beach...can you imagine how many trips we had to take to lug all this stuff to and from the beach. And yes, Robby is my hero!:)
