Rosemary Beach

How we got here.

June 23-27
A big storm came through on Monday.




But the rest of the week we had plenty of beach time.




We played with Papa's GoPro. See it on Zach's boogie board?


Adam.





Here's what else we did: 

We took pictures...I mean...GOBS of pictures. It doesn't matter if you don't want you picture taken.


We even bring our own professional photographer...or "Dad/Papa" as we like to call him.


 We make the kids do this picture every year.



Here's the cousins' photo from 2006.


The traditional family photo.


And the annual funny one.


Crab hunting.


Breakfast in the square.



Got stuck on the side of the highway.
I don't have a photo of this, but on Friday, our van broke down and had to be towed. The closest place was 45 minutes away. Fun times. 

Parasailing. 
This photo is Scott and Zach. Steve and Jake rode together, Oma and Papa rode together and I rode with Katie and Adam. Sherry and Matthew stayed back at Rosemary Beach and checked out the swimming pools.



Took #selfies.



Hijacked other people's phones and took 147 #selfies.



Played on our electronics.


Sat out on the deck...




made sure we were "in the know..."


...and made friends with the squirrels.


We walked to town.
Some more interestingly than others.


Ate ice cream and bought candy from the Sugar Shack.


Watched soccer. The World Cup was going on, and you could hear the other families watching too. When the U.S. won one of their games, everyone came out on their decks and cheered. 

Then Uncle Steve brought out his portable soccer goals. We played (well, the boys and Katie) every night. 


Sometimes it became a community soccer game when other families joined in.



We wore our hair like Farrah Fawcett, which we found out that anyone under the age of 18 did not know who that was. 


We grilled out: Salmon, shrimp, steak.



We started the 18 hour trek home on Saturday. It didn't go as smoothly as we anticipated. Read what happened.
