Hilton Head 2011

Cooper, Justin, and I just returned from a fantastic family trip to Hilton Head Island, SC. We stayed with Justin's Aunt Amy in her beautiful home about a mile from the beach. On our trip, Cooper got to experience his first chili cook-off (he LOVED the cornbread), met his first horse (so not impressed!), looked (and sat on!) some fun artwork, went on a trolley ride through Savannah, and saw his first alligator (a baby one, of course!).

 Meeting Honey Horn and Tombstone

 He was definitely not impressed with the horses

 He very much preferred the fake horses :-)

 Flying into the camera! :-)

 So stinkin cute!

 Petting LiLi (she was petrified of Cooper, haha)

 Ok, I'll let you pet me just this once...

 Baby gators off Aunt Amy's dock!

 Only Cooper could be this happy after a 10 hour drive through the night...

 Trolley ride through Savannah

 Pretty sure Cooper said he wanted to buy one of these fancy historic homes...

 Fun with UStef

 So beautiful!

 We had to get a picture of the Savannah Hampton Inn for Eric!

 Cool new flip flops from Aunt Amy (that he had to chomp on, of course!)

 Uh, Dad. I'd like to check out these gators too if ya don't mind..

 Trying to crawl out of the pool to grab a chunk of sand to eat, ha!

 Pull-ups on the umbrella

 Daddy's sunglasses are so delicious!

This was hysterical! He kept standing up in the stroller while we were walking on the beach, and we thought he looked like Santa riding in his sleigh... On Dasher! On Dancer!
