Morro Bay
Charles and I decided that we would get away for the weekend and the coast was just begging us to visit. We got on the road about 9 am on Friday morning and got to the beach around noon. We unpacked the truck and set up our camp sight. Once we got settled in, we walked down to the beach and got some fresh sea food. It was the perfect treat after a long drive. Then we walked the dogs around the cute little town of Morro Bay where we enjoyed holding hands and checking out all the little beach shops. We finished the day off with a good meal around the campfire. Saturday morning we got up had some breakfast and then loaded up the dogs and went kayaking. We saw birds, fish, and sea lions on our trip through the bay. We stopped for lunch and had a picnic on the beach just a few hundred feet from the base of Morro Rock. The setting of our picnic was nearly picture perfect; with the waves crashing onto shore and the Rock to our right towering over us, we couldn't help but admire Gods handiwork. Sadly on Sunday we packed up the car and left Morro Bay to head back home. Before heading home we stopped in SLO to see Brandon, my brother and Natalie, my cousin. Overall it was a wonderful weekend filled with lots of wonderful memories.

I won the poker game "that never happens" so it was a big deal

Puppies

In the second week of June, I was on Craig's List looking at puppies (Just to get an idea of what kind of dog we wanted) well at least that is how I justified it and I found the cutest puppies. So I convinced Charles to just go and look at them... and guess what we ended up coming home with two puppies that day. The little girl is named Daisy and the boy is named Tuck. They have been a big part of our lives these last two months from the sleepless first week, potty training, learning to swim, learning ticks and of course lots of loving.

We took them up to the houseboat and we found out that they are water dogs.

We are really enjoying the puppies, they are truly the best dogs in the world.
