On Friday we had an early supper and jumped in the truck. We were out from about 5:00 till well after 10PM. We drove, walked, drove, and walked some more. Neither of us cared what time it was or what we were missing on TV...it was just nice to be outdoors.
Saturday was much of the same. Outdoors all day long. We were exercising the puppies for a bit and I started taking pictures. My dad loves being outdoors as much as I do...especially on the water. I don't know why I was so surprised to realize that the boat I was trying to focus on was my dads! I'm not sure who he has with him, but that's him standing. I just missed his wave.
We visited different lakes around the island and saw a beaver in almost every one. Here's one with a branch for his dam.
We were outdoors all day and I couldn't go home without taking the opportunity to take some photos of the sunset.
Michael is always trying to take pictures of the moon. We either don't have the right camera or don't know how to use this one properly...but he never gives up trying. Looks pretty good this time, though.
Before finally going home, we showed our neice Marie how to steam oysters so she could try them for the first time. She really enjoyed them. She didn't even allow them time to cool before she started popping them in her mouth!
One of my favorite summer activities is going to the beach. Last summer I didn't go once. Michael was gone for most of the summer and its no fun going alone. Sunday we spent the entire day on a picnic.
We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows and just sat and visited for hours. The weather was great and the beach was peaceful and calm. This is the beginning of what would become, hopefully, just our first beach fire of the year.
Copper and Bianca enjoyed their first outing to the beach. I don't think they understood why we wouldn't let them near the water, but they both had a blast in the sand!
I think Bianca tired herself out.

Thanks for sharing the pictures! It sounds like you & Connie Marie had some great moments spent outdoors this weekend. I was outdoors- I got to weed whack and go to my hubby's softball game! Not quite as scenic though. : (

I loved your post! I wish our roads met somewhere along the way so that we could have had a picnic together! That would have been fun. I had my little dog and so did Kim. (She recently got a minature pincher.)
Beautiful sunset picture and the moon shot is great too.
I loved the pictures, thanks so much for sharing.
The pics are fantastic. You must know also, that I adore your pups!!!
