Crawler

Max has been scooting around slowly for a little while. Before our trip he would crawl about two lengths and quit. When we arrived in Georgia he just took off and hasn’t stopped since! :)

St. Simons Island Part III (final)

We woke up Thursday knowing it was our final morning on the island. We took full advantage of the hours we had before checkout: another morning walk along the beach, some daddy-daughter pool time, and some mommy-daughter beach time. Since Max also had a little heat rash on his back, we kept him out of the sun on our final day.

We spent the afternoon driving to Atlanta and flew home Friday morning. We enjoyed some sweet family time on our vacation and learned a few traveling with two children tips and tricks along the way. Our next vacation should be a little smoother sailing. ;)

St. Simons Island Part II

Tuesday morning we were sure we would only have part of the day to enjoy before rain hit so we decided to explore a little of Jekyll Island. (And yes, I jokingly asked Mark if Hyde had his own island as well.)

Jekyll Island is actually considered a state park, which we found interesting since there are a lot of residences, stores, the convention center, etc located on this island. After looking at a map we decided to head to the farthest point and take a look around driftwood beach.

 

We stopped to meet a horse before we left Jekyll Island. Raelyn gave him a hearty, “neigh neigh!”

Wednesday we started off the day with a gorgeous morning walk on the beach.

And then we spent most of the afternoon on the beach. Playing in the sand and sitting in the surf.

  

{A special note to all my “adoring fans”, this is my backup swimsuit and about as full body of a pic as you’ll ever see. Also, please excuse my crazy frizzed out beach hair. :) }

Although there are no photos, I should also note that on Wednesday evening before dinner at the Crab Trap we took a detour to Immediate Care. It’s not a Repko vacation if we don’t visit a doctor regarding someone’s ears. Turned out that Max needed antibiotics for a right ear infection. Poor dude!

St. Simons Island, Georgia

While the kids sleep, I thought I would start posting photos from our vacation. We are at King & Prince on St. Simons Island and just wrapped up a beautiful day spent mostly on the beach.

We arrived in Atlanta on Saturday and spent the day driving. Sunday was rainy most of the day but we were able to explore a little in the evening and have a tasty dinner out at the Crab Shack or maybe it was the Crab Hut. Nevertheless, it was yummy!

Raelyn absolutely LOVES the beach and ocean! As soon as she saw the ocean from our villa she started signing water and she hasn’t stopped yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is fast asleep still signing water.

Max wasn’t so sure about the ocean at first but he’s coming around.

A bit chilly on Sunday but we took a short walk on a long pier. ;)

First glimpse at our resort beach on Sunday evening.

Good morning beautiful Monday!

Let’s go to the beach already!

Whoa! That was a little chilly at first.

Time to get to work filling the bucket with water.

And now we fill it with sand.

Beach beauty.

On the balcony, post nap.

A little late afternoon stroll to the park.

St. Simons Island Lighthouse

Not a frictionless slide. ;)

Wanna climb a tree?

A little after dinner pool time.

That’s a wrap.

What a great Monday!! Praying the rain doesn’t hit us tomorrow as predicted.
