Fripp Island Beach Trip!






This little monkey had such a good time at the ocean! Watch as he actually pushes Robert away when he tries to pick him up when a wave was coming!

Last week we all went to down to Fripp Island, SC (close to Edisto Beach) and spent the week in a house we rented across the street from the ocean. Mom and Dad both went, along with Jonas, Melissa and Luke. We knew it would be tough with two babies, but with six adults I think we managed just fine. Nicklas just loved the water; the house had a private pool, which was very nice, and the beach wasn't a far walk away. We actually had to keep him from crawling right into the waves! He loved the sand and picked up every stick, shell, rock, etc that he crawled upon. We spent alot of time out for walks, riding bikes and riding the golf cart. Luke and Nicklas both loved to ride on the golf cart! We saw lots of deer (which would come right up to you), crabs, birds, and I even saw a dolphin! I only got a little sunburned, which is saying alot for me.


We had a great week, but are glad to be home in our own beds. Here's some great pictures that I managed to take this week...

Nicklas relaxing in the pool


Me and Nicklas just after I'd been pulled underwater by a giant wave...good thing I wasn't holding him at the time!


I like the sand...it's so messy!



Luke and Nicklas in the tub...one of the few baths Nicklas got all week. For some reason, the ocean and pool were fun, but the bathtub was suddenly so scary he wouldn't get it anymore after the first day there.



Our not-so-great attempts at a family portrait on the beach. I won't even show you the ones we took of all of us together, they just didn't come out right. Oh well.
