Fall Break 2014- Rosemary Beach

We had Fall Break this past weekend, so we took off and went to our happy place- Rosemary Beach.  The kids had Monday and Tuesday off and considering Emerson is doing so well in school, we let her miss the Friday before.  We left from the carpool line Thursday afternoon and headed straight there.  The Avery's came with us and we all shared a pretty awesome home in Rosemary.  The kids had a ball and we could not have asked for better beach weather.  After spending 5 days on the beach in October, I am not sure why we would ever go back to the beach in the summer months.  It was just that wonderful.  Not hot, but sunny and the water was the perfect temperature.  Water was crystal clear which Emerson was very happy about.  This kid snorkeled from the time we hit the beach until we made her get out. Lola jumped right on in with her after a day.

 

Eli just wants to be big like the girls so bad and would head right on out in the water with them at times. 

 Emerson and Lola having a little fun.

 And Eli getting in on the fun with Emerson.

 Seriously, look at Emerson's legs...

 There were lots of people being buried, a few holes dug and only 1 sandcastle built.  We all spent a lot of time out in the water and playing in the surf.  And of course the girls spent 99% of their time hunting for seashells and sand dollars.

 

Lauren took this picture and I think it will go down as one of my all time favorites.  There were several days that we spent all day until almost sunset on the beach.  The sun was setting and Em was still hunting for treasures.

 Our last day and the weather just wasn't on our side.

 Crazy skies and the wind was brutal.  I think this was about the time we stared heading in.

There were OH SO MANY treasures and we couldn't bring them all home.  These are the ones she is the most proud of.  All of her snorkeling paid off!

Until we meet again Rosemary Beach.  You are always in my dreams...
