Sullivan's Island 2014 - Exploring the Island

As has become recent tradition, we decided to spend the 4th of July week at the beach.  The boys brought up the beach several times over the past month and recounted their favorite activities from last year so we knew we had to fit in a trip this year and before little girl Holden comes.

Overall the boys had a blast!  We spent lots of time outdoors (who knew kids could get sand in so many places) and enjoyed some last fun memories as a family of four.  The boys are very excited to bring their little sister back next year.

We spent a lot of time enjoying island living including playground visits, watching local fishing spots, sunset trips to the marsh and lots of ice cream and milkshakes.  All by golf cart of course.  Here are some pictures of the fun.

The boys loved it when dad caught them crabs
Carter talked to everyone he met - he liked to tell them everything he knew about crabs, the ocean, the island, and his general philosophy on life
