A Journal, with Pictures

The Williamson, Mont­gomery and Pra­do fam­i­lies get togeth­er for the fourth of July every year at Spring Island, this year was spe­cial. For one thing there was the sports camp Sun­day and Mon­day, in which Brenn and Alexan­dra par­tic­i­pat­ed. Mike, Jen­nifer and Alexan­dra drove up from Fort Laud­erdale on Sat­ur­day and picked up Brenn on their way to the Chechessee cot­tage. Joyce and I flew in from Day­ton to Hilton Head. We had sev­er­al projects in Hilton Head so we went back and forth until Wednes­day. Kin­sey and Caitlin joined Brenn and Alexan­dra for Camp Spring Island (nature camp) on Tues­day and stayed in a house on Callawassie Island. Gary brought his boat from Savan­nah on Wednes­day. Besides din­ner and social­iz­ing our first all fam­i­ly activ­i­ty was a boat trip from Chechessee over to Hilton Head Island and back. It was great fun with beau­ti­ful scenery, a giant school of dol­phins past by the boat while we observed and in gen­er­al every­one had a good time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joyce and I enjoyed a round of golf at Chechessee on Thurs­day and the every­one met a the Spring Island pool which was the gath­er­ing spot. So the fam­i­ly hung out togeth­er, enjoyed the great weath­er and all of the ameni­ties of Spring Island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The big day is the fourth of July, with a dec­o­rat­ing hors­es, bikes and golf carts, a parade, a big pic­nic lunch, and after lunch tons of activ­i­ties. This year the big hit, was a water slide, boun­cy house, and dunk tank, that occu­pied the kids for hours after lunch. It was a per­fect day that every­one enjoyed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the things that makes Spring Island so spe­cial is the staff and this event was no excep­tion with the mag­nif­i­cent staff doing a fab­u­lous job. The lunch was spec­tac­u­lar, the ser­vice great and noth­ing was over­looked in mak­ing it a great day for everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the evening, we packed a pic­nic din­ner and head­ed to Hilton Head to watch the fire­works from the water in Skull Creek. We saw a great sun set them a spec­tac­u­lar fire­works display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every­one agreed this was the best fam­i­ly fourth of July ever.
