Sullivan's Island 2014 - At the Beach

We have two little beach bums on our hands who both came home with blond-streaked hair.  Their favorite beach activities included building sand castles, splashing in the tidal pool, playing with the local beach dogs and a new favorite, boogie boarding.  They also managed to get sand on every inch of their body and enjoyed daily and multiple showers (inside the house and out).  Dad was on kid duty most of the time while mom relaxed and enjoy baby kicks while watching the waves.  The island beach is excellent as the sand formations make for very large and calm tidal pools that allow the boys a shallow area to play with no real waves.  The bigger surf is a simple walk away.  Fun times for all!

Parker loved "jumping" the waves, much to the pain of Dad's back later in the day

No fear of the surf this year
