Tybee Island

Our flights out to Tybee Island were fairly uneventful. The first one, Daddy volunteered to sit by both girls. That didn't work too well, as they seemed to get each other riled up, giggling over nothing in particular. The second flight, we were separated. That seemed to work much better. Emily actually fell asleep during most of the two and a half hour plane ride.

One of our excursions away for the beach was to see the light house. We had to walk up 178 stairs to reach the top. Daddy and Uncle Jerrad carried the girls most of the way. Emily actually wanted to climb the last 50 steps by herself. The view was beautiful, but it was very hot.

The girls were a little unsure about the beach and ocean when we first got there, but they soon fell in love with the sand and water. They especially loved looking for sea shells, digging, and running into the waves. Daddy would dig them a hole and they would spend a long time running back and forth carrying water from the ocean to their hole.

We also made our way to the pier a few times. It was very windy(as you can see by Abigail's hair in the picture below), but provided a great view.

A fireworks show was put on from the pier on the 3rd of July. We spent a little time before it started walking on the beach. Emily loved it, but we discovered that Abigail does NOT like "pop-pops" this year. Daddy had to take her back to the house, while the rest of us stayed and enjoyed the show.
