The Beach

We had a fabulous time at the beach this past weekend. Mike, Kaelan, and I spent a few days at Papa and Nana's place in Isle of Palms, SC. It is so beautiful and relaxing and we are so grateful for the opportunity to spend some time there and evenmore, to share those experiences with our little guy. He's at the age now that he remembers and looks forward to things you tell him about. He talked about going to the beach for an entire week before we left and he couldn't wait to play with his new sand toys.

Playing with his new sand dump truck/digger on the beach. This truck went EVERYWHERE with us the entire weekend!




After this, Kaelan wanted NO part of the water so Daddy put him on his shoulders. He liked this much better but didn't care to get back in the ocean the rest of the weekend. Hopefully he forgets about his fall and his fear before our next trip to the beach.

Some BIG waves!

"What the heck was THAT all about?!"

Daddy and Kaelan walking together at Fort Moultrie. Along with Fort Sumter and Charleston's battery, it defended America's southeast coast until the 1940s.

An overall view of the fort and Kaelan talking a bit.
Next to one of the many cannons aiming out into the Atlantic Ocean.

Kaelan sitting on one of the sets of stairs to the underground magazines.

Kaelan posing on the balcony of the condo so Mommy can get an early morning shot of the ocean, beach, and 18th green.

Just bein' silly!

The pool was definitely Kaelan's favorite thing to do on our trip (playing in the sand was a CLOSE 2nd). He loves jumping into the pool!


Enjoying our walk on the beach with shells in both hands.

All smiles on our way from the beach to the pool with shells in hand. Gosh I love him SO much!!!

  2. It looks like so much fun! Matt and I didn't make it to the beach last summer (the first time in my life without a beach trip). We go in less than two weeks, and I can't wait! I miss you guys- we need to plan to get together soon.

  3. Jessie - wonderful pictures and I love the videos. I especially like the picture of K sitting on the brick steps but they are all adorable. Great to see you and the family last week. Janet
