Vacay in South Carolina!

Kiawah, SC has become my family's new favorite vacation spot. :) The beauty of the island takes my breath away every time we go there! This was our 3rd year in Kiawah and we are already talking about going back next year. :) It can't come soon enough! There is a marathon there in December and man, I wish I could run that long! I'd go in a heartbeat...what a great excuse to go!! haha

My grandparents from Michigan went with us and we had a blast! We are so lucky to be able to spend more time with them...at the beach especially. My soon to be 80 year old Papa is one of the boys! He golfs, swims, walks, and so much more. He is incredible! My awesome Mamie was busy making Collins little outfits and laying by the pool with the ladies! So sweet!

Here are pics from the trip! I had three different cameras to take them off of and I finally have them organized and in one location! Whew... Also, the pics from my little pink camera are all sideways. I've done everything I can to rotate them, but they won't switch! Hmm....off to figure this out!

Charleston Pics:
We went to Charleston on our way to Kiawah and spent a night there! Of course I snapped pics of Collins at the hotel!
Naked baby! :)
I love when he holds on to me!
