puppy party in the pool

ever since raider joined our family, i've wondered if he could swim.

i grew up with a yellow lab that loved the water more than land and couldn't walk past a puddle without jumping in it.

raider could not be more opposite.

last weekend when we were visiting our family back home,

we threw raider in the pool to see how he would react.

pretty sure we scarred him for life.

after a bit of doggy paddling, raider swam back to us on the side of the pool and bub-hub put him on the floatie for safety.
raider loves to soak in the sunshine!

lesson learned from our weekend of fun:

all puppies can swim,

but that doesn't mean they enjoy it.

beach day

saturday morning, we packed up our beach towels, sunscreen, and snacks and headed to the beach even though we live a short hour from the coast, we rarely think to make the trip. 

we spent a couple of hours walking through the shops on the strand, playing life-size chess, and eating yummy pizza before heading to the beach. 

we even bought some boogie boards and attempted to body surf.

probably the most embarassing thing i've done in my life. #triedandfailed #toofuntostop

even though bub-hub and i have both lived in the great state of texas our whole lives, there is so much of this beautiful place we haven't seen or experienced.

i hope we are able to fill our weekends with more adventures in the near future! :)
