Edisto Beach with the Steed Family

Colin's parents reached the milestone of 50 years married this summer. To celebrate, we joined Colin's parents, sisters and their family for a week long vacation at Edisto Beach in South Carolina. It's a beautiful location and we had so much fun visiting and enjoying the beach!

Colin and I took advantage of family who wanted to spend time with Finn and we were able to get out for a few meals  and even spent one day touring around Charleston. It's an interesting city and I have really grown to appreciate the history and beauty of the South...not to mention the friendliness!

Finn didn't love the ocean as much as he loved the beach. Colin played with Finn on the beach and we only had one 'experience' that was a little dangerous when the surf came up and covered the baby. He was surprised, but it didn't deter him...there was more sand to be eaten!

 The love birds celebrating their Golden Anniversary. Still crazy-happy after all these years!

 Finn playing in the sand

 Isn't he starting to look more and more like a little boy and less like a baby??

 Finn and his cousin Raney. He carried on conversations with Raney, something he hadn't done with anyone else up to that point...I guess he knows his secrets are safe with her!

  You can count on his cheeks being full of sand in this picture

Sun-protected and ready to play!

Look Mom...more sand in my mouth!
