Tales from Rosemary

We had an amazing long-awaited vacation down to the Gulf of Mexico 2 weeks ago with my 4 best friends from college and their families and we had such a great time! It was hard to come back :)




The kids were tons of fun to watch, especially how every single one of them wanted to be like Jackson, the big boy.

Rob and Rowen enjoyed the foosball table.

We had fun at the splash pad, too.


Searching for creatures!


Rowen got served by this slide in Alys Beach. Look at his face!


Sandcastles are serious business.


Two cool cats.



Rob followed his adventurous spirit right into a close encounter with a
could-be shark on this stand-up Paddleboard. Locals called this Yolo-ing.

Hayley, Me and Dori Kayaking. We *think* we saw an octopus. Is that possible?

I love these girls!
(Hayley, where are you??)

On the day we left, we tried a picture with all of the children. Took lots of coordination. This was the best we got :)

The beaches were absolutely gorgeous. There was some tar spotted on Okaloosa Island, so RMB preemptively dug sand trenches but we never saw any oil or tar, thankfully. I'm continuing to pray for the relief efforts...so sad. But I would say, PLEASE still vacation on the Gulf! There's nowhere like it!

Have a great week everybody!
