Hilton Head 2010

We took off to the beach yet again this past week -- this time for the annual Clark family vacation at Hilton Head. I never get tired of the beach! And of course Mason and Roper never get tired of being spoiled rotten by their grandparents!

One night we took a sunset/dolphin cruise...

We saw lots of dolphins, but this is the best shot I got!

The next day, the guys (Graem, Brian and Ward) went fishing with Arch and they claimed to have seen many more dolphins than we did. Graem took this picture with his phone!

While the guys were fishing, we hung out with the McCartys/Beckers at the Disney beach and pool.

Mason and Roper demonstrated to Ruth Ann how to get really really sandy...she wanted no part of it!

But Ada was game for a little sandiness...

The guys had several big catches during their fishing excursion with Arch. They caught some shark which Graem grilled for us for dinner the following night. After their successes off-shore, they decided to test their luck in the ponds...

Mason quickly grew tired of the "kid-sized" fishing pole; he preferred Uncle Brian's fishing rod.

Unfortunately, Graem could not stay for the full week...he had to get back to work. But we were very glad to have Sydney join us for the latter part of the week. This is everyone except for Graem:

Mason and Roper played so well together on the beach. It's really sweet to watch them interact with each other!

Beach Bums

We spent the long Memorial Day weekend at Kiawah Island with our friends the "Skis." One of my favorite places on earth with some of my favorite people on earth!

We had a hard time stopping Roper from trying to eat the sand, hence the sand goatee.

Check out the next two pictures. Why is it impossible to get a shot of both boys smiling? I guess I need to invest in Photoshop so that I can switch their faces.

Playing hard = napping hard.

We went to an oyster roast/barbeque on Saturday night. It was lots of fun and they even had a band.

We attempted a group picture...not entirely successful...this was the best we got!

Roper mastered the skill of pulling himself up while we were there. He is so proud! Now he is pulling up on everything!
