The month of July

Summer is just flying by and I'm trying to catch up on some posts. I'm trying to remember what all even happened in July so I guess I'll start with the 4th. Nothing too crazy, just a trip to the beach and some hanging out in the backyard. We were dog sitting and had Riley over for the week. I thought it would be a good idea to give Miles and Riley an American flag so they could be patriotic....yeah....not such a good idea:

Miles wants to be chased....

Riley just wants to eat the flag

Our good friend Margaret celebrated her b-day in July. We went to our fav Mexican restaurant in Old Town, Case Guadalajara, to celebrate with margaritas.

Happy Birthday Mags!

The Birthday Girl and her Man..awwww...

Then towards the end of the July I made the trek back to the East Coast for family vacation at Ocean Isle. We had an amazing week...great weather....and lots of quality hanging out time on the beach. I think I read 3 books that week which is more than I've red thus far this year. JT didn't have enough vacation time to make the trip so hopefully he can make it next year.

I do love sea oats

The happy couple! Newly engaged Jenn and Paul

Quality time playing games

Dinner in Calabash

Hanging out late night on the other porch with the Schacht crew.
