Random Vacation Pics

Waiting on the key in the courtyard of our house...
These 2 were very happy to stretch out!
We could walk anywhere in Rosemary Beach.  It was great.
Tons of restaurants all over made eating easy.
We skiddled across the street for some chocolate fondue one night.
G did a lot of strolling!
More eating
It wouldn't be a vacation without a hair wrap!
These ladies do yoga in the big cities they live in.
So we hit a yoga class
I was a little afraid
There were lots of food trucks.
Which was right up my alley..
CEK discovered Monopoly and promptly took all the money.
She is currently obsessed with playing at McDonalds.  We haven't told her she can't win...
Another night there was a carnival for kids!
(I promise I packed more than that dress for CEK to wear...she just likes it!)
Photo Booth...yes please!
CEK was in the hoola hoop contest.
She did not win but brought her best hip swinging.
This girl loves a face painting!
She rode her bike all over the place!
Nothing says good morning like a face paint hangover and the donut truck.
We attended a sandcastle building class!
The ice cream truck was a hit for these two.
Bob was already getting his wallet when CEK ran in to get him.
Nothing says fun like a random sprinkler park when you are walking down the road.
I am not sure we will be topping the Rosemary Beach trip for awhile.

Beaching it!

I have tried to seperate vacation pictures the best way I know how...
Here is the beach portion of the trip.
 CEK loved the beach this year!
Loved!
 Genevieve not so much!
 I enjoyed lots of coffee this trip.
CEK pretty much went constantly from sun up to sun down.
 These two were ocean buddies.
I love the beach but am not a huge fan of the ocean...at least not going out into the waves.
 Sistas
 Relaxin'
 Beach boating!

 Heading out for another day in the surf...
 Beach Beauty
 The Lopez family with their beach hating baby.
 Beach Bum
 Digging to China!

 This kid had everyone working on the hole.
 Sandcastle building class.


 Another attempt for G to enjoy the beach... It was better. Not great but better.
 Our surfer girl loved boogie boarding!
Except when the waves failed to cooperate.

My loves headed out for one last swim on their boards.
 And although our kid LOVED the beach...
She did a little pool time with Genevieve too!
Cousin Lovin'

Travel

If you know us at all... you know that CEK is not a great traveler.
She doesn't sit still so well. 
Our usual plan of attack on any vacation is to split travel into 2 days on the way there and hall a#@ home in one day on the way back.  Here is our theory - CEK is so excited to go on vacation that she worries us to death on the way there...like Chip usually threatens to never take her anywhere again.  Then on the way home she is so tired we could be travelling to the moon and she wouldn't care.  Chip always tells her we will travel again because she is being so good.
 Let the travel begin.
 Happy travelling parents.
 Arriving at our beautiful house in Rosemary beach.
Looking a little crazy, but ready to rock this vacation.
 Yaya and CEK are headed to the beach for the first of many times this week.
 But only after Yaya pulled this bad boy out.
I asked what the heck it was and Chip piped up it was the toy for the people who have everything.
Funny husband!  But also correct....a folding bike! On to the beach!
 CEK was pumped to get there!
 A Yaya photo bomb.
The first of many visits to the beach for the man who really doesn't dig sand or salt water.
He was a good sport this week... cause the kid REALLY dug the sand and the salt water.
