Kiawah Island

This year we went to Kiawah Island with some of Mike's family. They have gone to the Outer Banks for many years but this year not everyone could go on the trip so we decided to find a place a little closer. We found a really nice house with an AWESOME pool (which worked out great because it was SO hot - on the last day the heat index was 120 degrees!) We went to the beach 3 of the 5 days but didn't stay very long with the little ones because it was so hot. We rode bikes all over the island which was lots of fun! The island had a really cool nature center and lots of activites for kids and families.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.

This little guy was in the swamp in our back yard! I think he kept coming around because Mike's dad was feeding him STEAK!!! Thankfully we all came home in one piece :)

We went out to dinner one night and took some pictures when we got back to the house.

Emilee and Luke in the bike trailer. Harrison had a really cool add-a-bike that hooked to the back of Mike's bike. I didn't get a picture but I think my SIL did and I will try to add it later. They all loved riding bikes!

Harrison and Emilee - those are some cute kids!

Harrison playing with his trucks in the sand.

Emilee wasn't so sure about the beach - she doesn't like to be hot and she got a heat rash even in the shade!

Here is how Harrison stayed cool!

Look liked playing in the water too!

The do-rags on their heads were the only thing they would keep on and they helped to not cook their scalps!

A little happier - I think :)

It was a fun trip and I will try to post more pictures when I get them!
