Our Trip to Hilton Head

This was Mabel's third time at the beach, and it's been pretty amazing to watch her change over the years, from keeping her in a baby seat shielded from the sun, to watching her toddle along, and learn the word "wave" to really understanding what is going on. I can't wait until next year! Unfortunately, the jellyfish were so bad, we barely spent any time in the ocean and mostly swam at the hotel pool (which was pretty fun, and right near the ocean with a Tiki Bar and everything). No beach footage, but mostly from this ghastly hot "dolphin cruise" we took. Notice how worn out she looks.






Not the greatest video, but it just reminds me of how cool it is to be little, when every kid you meet immediately becomes your best friend. This was some girl sitting next to us at a restaurant, and they immediately made up this game.




Here she is dancing to "I will survive" and doing the toddler thing of needing a gazillion things in her hands. It reminds of that scene in the jerk where he says I just need this remote control, and this lamp and this... whatever it is.
