Summer Beach Pics

Some cute summer pics... the first picture is of Caleb at the lake before we headed back to Charleston. The other pictures are of the kids on our first beach trip to the county park at Kiawah Island in South Carolina. This is probably the beach that we will go to most of the time because it is the closest to our house, and the park is really nice (has lifeguards, restrooms, showers, concessions, etc.) Abby Grace and Caleb had fun too! Abby Grace absolutely loves the water and would probably stay in it all day! Caleb enjoys playing on the beach and does not mind the sand at all. He's a little unsure of the water though; I think it is mainly because it feels cold to him at first. He does like to put his feet in and play along the shore. We weren't sure of how long he would last, but as you can see from the picture below, he was fine taking his nap on the beach! The beaches here are definitely different from the Gulf beaches that we are used to, but there are some good aspects of the Atlantic beaches too, like the cool breeze blowing off the Atlantic. In fact, we never really felt hot, which was really nice. Hey, I am not complaining; we live 20 minutes from a beach!
