Dinner found us at the Crazy Crab in Harbor Town. I adore an evening in Sea Pines. We waltzed right in to sit down for another early dinner. That's one of the reasons I love eating around 5 pm at the beach. Eliza Kate managed to land in a rocking chair matching her outfit after dinner~swoon. We rocked away while Omi and Miller toured the variety boats in the yacht basin. Miller loves stealing away special time with his Omi. He has a lot of words to get out in one day, so undivided attention gives him that opportunity;)
We caught up with them for a lighthouse picture. This candy cane designed landmark is well loved and somewhat of a symbol for Hilton Head.
Although it's not a real lighthouse, the littles enjoyed climbing all 114 stairs to the top. The views were nice from the top so I hear. They proudly showed me their right of passage sticker after exiting the museum. From this point on, Miller obsessed about not getting a souvenir from the lighthouse museum upon exiting. We reminded him about the tacky bell he chose from the St. Augustine lighthouse that just sits in a drawer. Sometimes, hearing the word no in life can be hard;)
A hammerhead shark sighting seemed to distract us all high atop the pier. We spotted six in all. Beware of shallow water in Sea Pines. Dolphins were in and out of the water in the distance. One things for sure, we spotted a vast array of aquatic animals on this trip.
Here's our closing shot when Miller was forcing a smile through his disappointment over the gift shop--oh my! We put him to bed early on this night. That's what a combination of waves, sun, and beach exhaustion does to a 7 year old.
He rebounded after ice cream and a beach walk. I mean ah-hem, we're at the beach. We managed to get back to our condo in time for late evening stroll on the shore--my fave! Of course it involved pictures...
It's either thumbs up or bunny ears for pictures these days. My too cool for school dude adds his own personal flair to our family photos. We went crabbing on our walk and this poor sand crab ended up posing with bunny ears.
