Hilton Head- Day 1

The little family headed down to Hilton Head Island for our first beach vacation!

The umbrellas on the beach. We rented one of those umbrella/chair combos where Meggie and I spent quite a bit of time.

On the first day Chris spent 10 hours (no joke!) digging a big hole and building a sand castle. Ellie liked to "help" but I think she destroyed more than she built.

Ellie hard at work, carrying a bucket full of something (maybe water?).

This was right after she destroyed some of the retaining walls...I thought it was pretty funny...

The "Portcullis," I had no idea what a portcullis was, at least I learned something on vacation!
