dog days of summer...

jamie, katie, and i took a little trip up the coast on saturday. destination: Harbor Cove Beach in Ventura. it only took about an hour to get there, and it was such an awesome afternoon. we packed a few blankets, chairs, and watermelon and relaxed for a few hours alongside some other dogs, kayakers, and even some waverunners. 

here are some of my favorite moments of the day....

The aftermath...

Well, it's over.  The sytycd finale was last night, and not to contradict previous posts, but America got it RIGHT!!!  I won't give away the ending quite yet, just in case any of our loyal readers haven't watched the episode...but alas, we are happy with the results.  

So why am I (jamie), sad today? Because the end of sytycd also marks the end of summer.  But in my eyes, summer hasn't even begun.  I've only been in the pool a few times. We've only watched one sunset at the beach.  We've only been camping once. Hell, I've only worn shorts once!!!  Jen will disagree with this post.  She's under the assumption that since we live in California, summer lasts until October. But I know the truth.  It's over.  And I have worked it away. 

So, you better believe we're going to have a summer-filled weekend!  Reading by the pool...firing up the BBQ...shoving our face with watermelon...and relaxing at the beach.  We're going to take Katie up to this dog beach in Ventura that we heard about.  Arthritis-schmitis...she'll be surfing in no time! Here's a sneak peek of her and jen training for the adventure...
