Monday was beautiful here in Hilton Head (pre Fay). Ella Kate had a great time in the pool splashing around and getting lots of attention :)

After a long day EK was zonked! She perked up, though, when her first taste of grouper came about! She loved it (loved the hush puppies, too!).

After dinner we headed to Harbour Town to hear Gregg Russell play. Ella Kate smiled and kinda clapped along. It will be so much fun to watch her grow with the kids under that old oak tree.

Tuesday was jammed packed, and I'm glad it was as the rain set in on Wednesday and lasted the rest of the week. We started the morning with a walk on the beach (you may see that shot again for our Christmas card!).

Ella Kate loved the beach and had a great time playing in the sand and surf. She wasn't a bit scared of the waves and liked the sand so much she tried to eat it!

For lunch we went to the Sea Shack which is the best hole in the wall local seafood restaurant you'll ever find. The line forms quickly, though, so you better get there early!

Later we took a bike ride down to Coligny Square.

On our nature ride Chris found a new friend (HA! He hates spiders) and just had to take a picture of it!

EK ended the day with a quick tune on the musical table. Thanks, Mancinis, for this fantastic toy!

Wednesday was the start of the monsoon. I've never been on a vacation before where it rained over half of the time. Guess that's what you get for coming to the beach at the start of hurricane season!

Chris' parents, Mimi and Pops, came to join us Wednesday evening. We went to Kenny B's for dinner. You've never had such good New Orleans/Low Country style food, and a big bonus is that they're huge UGA fans!!! Thanks, Amy-Chris, on that fantastic tip!!

After dinner we went back to Harbour Town to hear Gregg Russell again. EK was definitely getting sleepy, but we had a nice evening, anyway!
