Summer Nights

I missed my friends this year. Loved Summer Nights.

Errie Pawta.

Kaelyn and her friends all went to see Harry Potter on opening night. Since I couldn't join in the fun, I helped them take a premovie photoshoot, complete with wands and scars.

4th of July

The week of 4th of July was a lot of fun this year. To start, Connor and I went down to Miami to see his sister, Kalyn's, volleyball tournament. They competed in Nationals!

On the way, Connor had an itch to fish so we stopped in the everglades right off of Alligator Alley (the highway connecting the East and West coasts of Florida). There was a HUGE storm coming so we got some gorgeous pictures.

We stayed right on Miami Beach, next to Brooke Hogan's apartment building! We also got to go shopping at Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian's new store, Dash. It was such a beautiful place to be for a couple days!

On the morning of the 4th, my family and our neighbors, the Lewis' went out on their boat on the Gulf. We boated over to the 3 Rooker Islands and had an amazing cookout. It was a great way to spend the day!

The evening of the 4th, I brought my family down to my best friend Kelly's beach house in Redington Shores. It was a lot of fun, MORE food, and people I love, what could be better?

How Romantic...

Yes, Ladies and Gentleman, behind all the manliness and scruff, Connor is a romantic. His idea of romance, however, is a fishing trip for two under the moonlight. :) It really was romantic only because he is so freakin cute when he's fishing.

Dog Beach.

My favorite memories from this summer were made with Connor and Kumako (my Japanese Akita) at the dog beach. We have lived in Florida for over 3 years now and this summer was the first time Kuma got to go. Needless to say, she LOVED wading in the warm water, swimming around in the fish and sting ray infested water, and always made sure she wasn't too far from Connor, the fisherman. My girl is so sweet, I so

miss her.

Summer Boat Days

This summer Connor and I and our friends Charlotte and Patrick made kind of a tradition to go out either on my boat or Patrick's boat every Wednesday. It was a lot of fun and we made some great memories! Either at Carlouel for lunch, fishing, or tubing, it was great! Connor and Pat think it's cool to jump off the pipe behind my house. Good thing they can swim fast!
