Part One
Rosemary Beach / 30 A
Our vacation started out a little wet as we ventured south through hurricane Irma!
After all, it's not a beach vacation without a little hurricane drama.. Am I right?
Thankfully it didn't last long, only some rain and a bit of wind. In just a little over seven hours we had finally made it to our Florida beach house rental, where we would spend the next five days with the whole family, just beachin' it.
Once we arrived we finally settled in around two am that Tuesday morning. Yes that's an AM after that number two!! Whew.. We completely passed out and we were ready for the first day at the beach just five hours later.

day one
Our morning routine went like this
wake up. breakfast. suits. sunscreen. beach
and you cannot forget coffee.
The babies did really well on the beach. They were both old enough to appreciate the sand and were not too afraid of the waves. It took them a little bit of time to get used to, but they jumped right into the fun pretty quick. Their routines were barely compromised at all. They still napped, and the naps were much needed each day. It turned into FAMILY nap session most days. NOT complaining a bit!
this boys first feel of the sand. and my nephew ready for fun in the background. :)
okkay, this isn't so bad!
baby boy loved napping in the morning on his daily beach wagon rides.
sweetest thing ever.. I can't get enough of those baby rolls covered in sand.
oh my heart.
look at those sleepy cheeks
this never happens at home. I soaked up all the baby cuddles while they lasted
PS look at Heidi in the lounge chair..this is perfect!!
How cute is my sis-in-law and my little niece?! Loved spending time with them this last week.
Our first night to dinner we decided on the Great Southern Cafe in Seaside. It was the bomb.
Shrimp and grits did it for me, the best ever!
my dad and sister
the most handsome boys of mine
full bellies + full hearts for our first beach day
------
day two
family breakfast + a first french braid for my little Heidi girl.
I can't believe how big she has grown this summer.
Their Papaw spent an hour digging them the perfect sand chair
They loved it! How cute are these two?! Sweet cousin memories.
I was able to lay this little fella down and relax for a minute.
my sweet grandmommy
and no baby in hand.. feels sooo weird!
Heidi and her Abba aka Abigail/my sister!
Nonny and her sweet Heidi girl.
We ended the day with dinner in, and a walk to the sugar shack down the street!
We found Heidi smuggling suckers and tootsie rolls throughout the store, safe to say I think it was a highlight of her trip.

spray tans for all the ladies on the trip by me!
Thanks for reading this little corner of life from
