hilton head in the fall...

I'm at the beach, you guys! Shhhh.... it's the best kept secret EVER to come to the beach at this time of year. The weather is absolutely PERFECT!! It's Fall Break, and we are so grateful for a quick getaway to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.

And what a difference just a few months makes! (not just in the weather...)

You see, this summer, I was still a little skittish about going in the water by myself.

But today I was a WILD WOMAN in the water! You should have seen me! I literally threw myself into the sand & rolled around in it with excitement. And when the waves would knock me over, I'd start LAUGHING instead of crying.

Here I am outrunning the waves with Daddy... (can you see how tall I'm growing??)

and jumping so high over them...

Whew! That was a blast. More fun tomorrow!
