Our first couple of days in RB

We just got back from another fantastic vacation in Rosemary Beach! It was just the five of us this time, no lovely Lin to help us out. We were a bit nervous about taking the kids by ourselves (not that we can't handle our children, LOL), but we did it! AND we had an awesome, uneventful time doing it! There are tons of pictures on this post and this is only the first few days, so more to come!!!

We stopped in Seaside first to have lunch and to let the kids stretch their legs and burn off some built up energy.  It was much warmer and crowded than expected, so we ate lunch and headed down the road to RB.

After unpacking and getting acclimated to our new digs for the week we put the kids down for a much needed nap. This is a rare moment. Both sleeping soundly cuddled up next to each other. So stinkin' sweet. 

The front porch was amazing and it's where we spent every morning. It had a table and chairs for all of us to eat breakfast at and an awesome porch swing. The kids absolutely loved it. (This picture is quite fuzzy due to the lens trying to adjust to the humidity - I know y'all were totally wanting to know that).

Out to dinner at Pompano Joe's in Destin. Best grilled crab legs, ever. After this trip, we never had to get in our van again. Glorious. 

I'm not completely sure how, but no matter where we are or what we're doing, Evan ALWAYS manages to find something to throw. At our house in RB it was acorns. He stood at the end of the boardwalk every morning and threw acorns into the street. I love his energy and spirit. 

The weather was a bit cooler than we are used to (we're used to spring/summer), so we made the most of our mornings by going to the park and on bike rides. I felt like we got to explore a different side of RB that we usually do. Very fun.

Not sure if it was the time of year or what, but there were what seemed like a hundreds of butterflies. 

Our sweet Lukey turned FIVE while we were down there!!! I won't get too weepy on this post (that'll come later). We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, opened presents and headed to the beach (Luke's pick!). Such a great way to spend a birthday, if you ask me. 

Our sweet boys . . . more to come . . .
