Trip to Kiawah!

We just got back from a wonderful mini-vacation with Noni and Granddaddy in Kiawah. Jackson had such an amazing time! He absolutely loves to swim in both the ocean and the pool. His fearlessness never ceases to amaze me. From riding his bike all the way to the beach to boogy boarding waves, he is definately all boy!

Here Jackson is with his new lifejacket. He is ready to hit the waves! We did have one problem with the ocean....Jackson likes to dive into the water and swim and didn't realize the salt water would burn his eyes. We quickly remedied that problem by getting Jackson his first pair of goggles. Mommy's pair were green tye died and quickly did not meet the approval of daddy, so the next day, Daddy bought him some blue competition goggles. He loved wearing them!





I just can't get enough of this face!!









Jackson and Granddaddy building a sandcastle. Granddaddy makes the best sandcastles!










Ahhh....Jackson just loves his Noni so much! One night, we decided to pick up some pizza and eat it at the beach. There was a wonderful cooling ocean breeze and so much fun!









Tickles from Noni!








Family shot.










After dinner, we decided to stroll along the beach. We got some really great pics this night!







My little dare devil....always climbing!








Nightime beach shot.






Jackson found the moon!









Another family shot!








Running from the waves.











Always jumping!








Silly Noni and Jackson. I jsut love this shot of them!










Jackson loves looking at the moon, so we had to get a shot with it.













This is our caravan to the beach. Daddy loads everything up and mommy and Jackson follow closely behind!








We made it!









Getting ready to catch a wave!









Hold on tight!









Yaaay! By the end, Jackson was really good at it and would ride all the way into the shore. It was quite impressive to watch if I do say so myself :)










Believe it or not, Grandaddy even got in on the action!










Showing Greg how to get it done!









And of course, no trip to the beach would be complete without a visit with Gigi!


Thanks again Noni and Granddaddy for a wonderful trip! We can't wait until our next visit!

Another fun trip to Noni and Grandaddy's! I am absolutely amazed at Jackson being able to ride his bike to the beach and now he can boogey board!!! All the pics are great and I love seeing that cute "baby bump"!
