Summer is almost here.

Sunny mornings.
Hot sticky weather.
Cool ocean water.
Endless hours of laying on the beach soaking it all up.

Until.......

The sky opens up and rain pours down.
The thunder rolls in and the lighting strikes across the dark sky.
The rain pitter-patters on the concrete.
Rain drops cling to the window.
Puddles scatter the ground and wait for little feet to jump in.

Today we went to Lover's Key. Just the two of us. I made up a picnic basket with all sorts of yummy treats. A Tuna sandwich for Drew, a Chicken Salad for me, cheese slices, crackers, chips, fruit, lemonade, and water. This delicious spread of amazing food. It was rather yummy if I do say so myself!

We sat on the beach and enjoyed the weather. Soaked up the sun. Listened to the waves crashing onto the shore. Talked. Enjoyed the company of each other.

As timed passed by, the sunny clouds drifted away and the dark thunder storm clouds rolled in. The ones that bring the good rain. The rain that hits the house so hard that you curl up on the couch and close your eyes. The rain that makes you turn off of your lights and tv and listen to the rain hit the roof, windows, and ground. The kind of rain that makes you just sit and breathe because it gives you a reason to slow down.



After the rain clouds rung their self dry and the sun began to peek through we woke up and took Gigi for a little walk. We had a busy weekend and poor Gigi has been locked up......we felt bad and wanted her to get some energy out. As we walked we watched our shadows guide the way. Just for for we made some shadow shapes..........





what a fun way to end the weekend!

Before we know it.........its that of the year again. That time where we explore the outdoors. We become adventurous. We get out of the house! Summer can't come soon enough- I can't wait for some more sunny morning/rainy afternoon days with Drew.
