Hilton Head Island - July 2011

We left for Hilton Head Island on Wednesday July 6th. We were going to meet Timmy and Mandy and spend a few days with them before heading to New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Our stay was short ... only 3 nights. But we had so much fun. I grew up going to Hilton Head for 2 weeks every year so it was fun to take Ryland to all of the places from my childhood. We really wanted to ride bikes in Sea Pines one afternoon but we got rained out :( Maybe next time.

This was the first time that Ryland has been to the beach since he could walk. He liked it but it took a few minutes for him to warm up to it.

We went to Shelter Cove to see Shannon Tanner sing to the kids. Ryland L-O-V-E-D it and was right in the middle of it all. If you look closely you can see Ryland dancing behind the little girl in the black tank top ...

Ryland even sat on the stage with all of the other kids ...
