Rosemary Beach 2012, Part 1

Back from, what I think, was our best beach trip to date! So many factors played into making this trip the best.  We had perfect weather and most days the water was crystal clear.  AND we had Isabella.  Here is the story behind that... Bella was in Rosemary the week prior staying with a friend.  She knew we were coming up on Saturday, the day before she was due to leave and go back to Jackson.  She called Saturday planning when we would be getting in and could we bring Em over to swim with her.  While I unpacked and made a grocery store run, Denny took Em to meet up with Bella and swim with her and her friend Claire.  Bella says how she does not want to leave and how great her week has been.  Miss Emerson suggests to Bella that she call Auntie A and see if she can stay with us...

We had a ball.  Em had a blast with a constant playmate.




Bella and Emerson share a Birthday.  Bella will turn 11.  So, she is a big girl to Em.  Bella carries a purse as you can see.  Emerson has started taking an interest in carrying a purse and wanting to pay with her money and carry a phone, lipstick, a rock she found, a rubber band, a small doll, another lipstick just a different color, a small note pad, 2 pens and more very important things one should carry in a purse that your parents end up holding because it is way to heavy or you were leaving it at the last place we were.  We took the girls to Pier Park in Panama City one night and Em insisted on buying a purse similar to Bella's.



In Seaside.


Our friends The Gautreaux's own a beach house in Grayton Beach.  One day Lisa, Russell and Ben came and hung out with us for a late lunch and then several hours by the pool. The girls had a great time playing with Ben.  Ben on the other hand had entirely too much girl time.




Now, throw another kid in the mix, McKenzie. McKenzie and her family have been a part of our Rosemary Beach trips every summer since we started going there and this is where we met the Pheiffer's. I have posted many pics of her and Em playing together. They are always in Rosemary at the same time we are and the girls always end up spending everyday together.  Until this year, we did not know their last name or much other than they are from Texas. Needless to say, Em, Bella and McKenzie spent every minute at the beach and the pool together.  McKenzie has an older brother and a younger brother.  Her Dad, Chris and grandmother brought the kids to the beach, because their mother, Mariah is 8 months pregnant and on bed rest with twin boys!  WOW!!! There are many more pics of the three of them to come. 



Look at how smooth and clear the water was.  Em and Bella decide to try some boogie boarding.
More to come...
