Just Beach-y:

Happy Summer!
For the next two weeks, my family and I are staying in Florida at the beach. It's our third day here and I think I could get used to this. Here are just a few pictures from our first few days here.

 Beach front houses, wouldn't that be amazing? Yeah... i could probably live there. And never ever leave. Like, ever.

 Look at my cute little siblings! Looking into the murky water. haha. The first couple of days the water was a little less than desirable with all of the seaweed washing into shore, but now? Crystal blue. It's B-E-A-UTIFUL! Not that gross green color anymore. I was a little worried at first, I'm not going to lie. But man, its amazing.

Shameless selfie in my old navy beach wear. Plus my whole hand in the hair model thing? It was actually just really windy and my annoying bangs kept blowing into my face. I guess I finally understand why people do it!

And of course, you have to see this sand. Im tellin' you. Sugar. Just gorgeous, white, sugar sand. I could play in it all day. And I do. Until my face begins to burn and I can feel the redness coming on. Then, I have to sit in the shade. BU-mmer.

Come back! I'll have more pic-a-licks. ("pictures" in case you don't understand my made up words) Im off to watch "Storage Wars" with the family and paint my nails. Have a great night!

Until next time,
xx

'Merica:

HAPPY FIFTH OF JULY! Another day of freedom ya'll.

I hope everyone spent their fourth with family and friends eating good food and making great memories. I know I was.

This year, my family decided to do a hot dog bar for our good eats and boy was is YUMMY! Confession: I love hot dogs. I know some people are repulsed by them, but i seriously love them.

We also had cute red and blue sodas. Even our chairs we're red white and blue! Very patriotic. My brother was not too excited about having to pick out the red white and blue chairs from our collection and re stack the brown, yellow, and green ones he had laid out. But it was worth it because it looks cute. Haha!

We had four different types of hot dog "recipes" on the table.
{Chili Cheese Dog}
{Tex Mex Dog}
{Chicago Dog}
{Taco Dog}

My choice was the chicago dog and I wished so badly I could've had more room to try the other ones! The struggle.

For sides we had corn, the most delicious mac and cheese, and yummy baked beans. It was a good day.

Everyone had a great time swimming and visiting with eachother. We had my sister and her family over as well as some family friends! It was very fun!

I think out of everything we did that day, water gun fights was probably the most popular. Everyone was getting into it. No matter the size of the gun they had to use. ;) ehem drew.

I am so grateful for this country and for all those who serve for our freedom. Including both my brother and my father. My brother recently returned from Afghanistan and we were grateful to have him with us this independence day. Thanks to him and all those who are serving or have served. God bless america.

Until next time,
