For our first week at the beach we joined my parents at Hilton Head Island. Unfortunately my sisters and their families weren't able to come this year but my aunt and cousin joined us instead. Hailey had a great time playing with Cailin (5 years old) and I'd venture to say Cailin enjoyed playing with "baby Hailey" too!
I think one of Hailey's favorite things to do that week was go on a bike ride. She constantly asked for "bike" and "ride". She absolutely loved being driven around. She liked to see whoever was riding the other bikes with her and liked to sing "The Wheels on the Bike (Bus)" as she rode.
Hailey really came to love the water while we were gone too. We took her to the pool almost everyday and she definitely got more and more comfortable as the week went on. The favorite pool that we went to was one of the zero depth entry pools, where the water gradually gets deeper as you walk in, kind of like the ocean. The first day we went Hailey stayed in ankle deep water but later in the week she wanted to keep walking to where the water was over her head, and then got mad when we picked her up! She also got to the point where she would "jump" (or walk) off of the side to us in the pool.
The beach...Hailey loved playing in the sand on the beach. She learned how to make sand molds of things and wanted us to do it constantly saying "make". Her favorite was of course the Elmo that my aunt brought her. She loved playing in the tidal pools too. She would just walk into them and sit down and start splashing.
Notice that Elmo isn't too far away in any of these pictures...

I'll leave it at that for now, but don't worry there's still more to come...I don't want to forget anything!
