Rosemary Beach!

We spent the last week in Rosemary Beach, Florida with our good friends from Nashville, Caryl & AJ, along with their beautiful kids Maribeth, Will & baby Abbey! We brought Mia's cousin Nicholas along with us, and he was so helpful, polite and fun! Mia sure was happy to have her favorite cousin with her...

We rented a house on Rosemary Beach, a planned development in the pan handle of Florida. Not only was it absolutely gorgeous, but it was perhaps the most enjoyable time we've had together as a family. Long lazy days at the beach, big naps followed by relaxing dinners and a long evening bike ride... Mia was in heaven! Can you ask for more? Good friends, great weather and the world's most perfect child!!

Fun on Bikes!

We rented a couple of cruisers at the beach and Mia had her own little seat to enjoy the show! This was undoubtedly the highlight of her vacation... She loved riding with Mommy & Daddy! Looks like we'll be ordering one of these contraptions when we get home...


Silliness at the Beach!

Note who is in charge in this picture! Yep, Daddy has been relegated to being a chick...


Puppies, of course...

Of course we had to track down some puppies, since Mia is certain they live at the beach!! Thankfully Caryl & AJ brought along Fred & Ethel, a couple English Bull dogs who Mia is convinced are her best friends...


Ice Cream?!

There was a great little candy store called the Sugar Shack! As you can tell, Mia may have visited a time or two for ice cream... Big lover!


Swimmer!

Somebody sure loves the Ocean!


Tough Day at the Beach...

I don't know how she does it with this rough life of hers, but she perseveres... :)

Surfer Girl!!

I'm pretty sure she really thought she was surfing... That was, until Daddy was swimming out to the sand bar with Mia and watched a 6 foot Hammerhead shark casually swim by! Yikes... That was enough ocean for one vacation.
