Way back in August, when the days were nice and warm, my family took our annual trip to Hilton Head. It was a different sort of year. With 15 grandkids now, and four babies under a year old, we spent more time just trying to survive at the house together (yes, we were all in one house). It was slow paced and hectic at the same time.
But there were still beach days, and lots of swimming in the pool for the kids, and meals followed by good talks around the table, and the girls' shopping day and Starbucks run, and the boys' basketball game, and Bry and I even snuck in a lunch date.
First day on the beach...

Another year come and gone. I love traditions...and Hilton Head is an especially good one.
