Holden Beach 2012

After we left Hilton Head on Sunday (Hailey's 4 month "birthday"), we traveled up the coast to Holden Beach, NC. Ryan's family has vacationed there for years and it's a nice, quiet little beach town. Hailey finally got to meet Aunt Kristin (Ryan's sister) for the first time because she lives in the Dominican Republic! We had a great time with family on the beach

playing at the house,

reading books,

practicing eating rice cereal,

and just being together!

Poppi is funny!

 
Here are a few more pictures of our sweet girl on her first beach vacation with the Epleys!

Hailey also had her first taste of ice cream while at the beach! (I know, I know, babies aren't supposed to eat ice cream...) We had just finished playing putt putt and we all had ice cream...I'll let you watch the video to see how it happened!

We had a great vacation with both sides of our family, but we were pooped on the way home!

We are already looking forward to next year!
