Edisto - Part 1

It is that time of year again.... beach time with Chad's side.

Selfie time with my boys

We always look forward to our beach week at Edisto.  We are on Year 3 of coming to Edisto and staying in this same house and it is just as fun as the first year.  We have our routine down and we always leave feeling refreshed.

This post will, as usual, be picture HEAVY as I dont know how to do a beach post without an insane amount of pictures.  I have over 200 but will try to narrow it down to the top 30... lets see how I do.   Let's scratch that- a week long beach trip merits two posts.

Cousins!

So, lets reserve this post to beach play which is what the majority of the week is designated for.  The "part 2" post will be our family pictures, Sami's bday, and the Serpentarium, and other fun pics that did not include sand or the ocean.

My boys---

Boogie boards--- worth their weight in gold
