SC spring break!

For spring break we spent seven days in sunny, sandy heaven on an extended family trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina! I don't have the entire family picture to share here, but there were 15 grandkids, 8 parents, and 2 grandparents on the trip--quite a crowd to descend upon the local Fuddrucker's, but a perfect size for a morning sandcastle crew:

Is there anything better than cousins?

The resort allowed us access to three banquet rooms, which we used to for general conference and family devotionals, 

plus playtime!

In addition to several hours each day digging and swimming,

we also hunted for (benign) jellyfish,

biked around the island collecting Spanish moss,

(we biked along the beach one day!),

hosted game and movie nights,

and went shark fishing!

The best part about all of it was that Eric was there! He took his board exam the day before flying out, so after four months of a rigid study routine--"home" (as in, home and not studying or sleeping) for 20 minutes a day--we got him back!

Yeehaw.
