Fun Times At the Beach

Summer has come on in full swing with temperatures about 5-6 degrees higher than the average for this time of year. To escape the heat, we have been heading to the beach quite often and I love to bring the camera along too. :-) At the beach, we have fun swimming, wading in the water, chatting with guests, and meeting neighbors. On a couple of occasions, we've enjoyed talking with a couple of ladies who bring their dogs on to the beach to play. We love dogs and we are always happy when they show up at the beach. One dog named Jemma, is a young Labrador Retriever and she is always begging you to throw the toy so she can fetch it! When she isn't busy fetching she enjoys playing with Orla --her doggie friend, who loves to chase Jemma and "fight" over the toy. Here are a few snapshots of Jemma and Orla having fun!

It was a calm day --great for boating!

Here comes Orla!

Jemma's out to fetch the toy!

Jemma loves to parade around with her newly-caught toy!

And she enjoys playing tug-of-war too!
What are some things you do during the summer to stay cool? If you have dogs, what are your favorite games to play with them?

Blessings,

  1. In summer we usually start our school year... it's too hot to do anything but school!

    We love dogs too! Here is what our dogs like to do. Pepper loves her ball! Dusty and Sam play together alllll the time. It is really fun to watch them doing goofy things to each other. We wrestle with our dogs too... that is fun but it can kinda hurt!

    I gotta get off... BYE!

  2. Hi Eden!

    Jemma and Orla are so sweet. I bet you and your siblings enjoy playing with them! :)
    We have three dogs... They don't play a LOT, but they do enjoy running around outside and playing with toys inside.
    To stay cool during the summer, I usually jump in our pool. We have a newly built pool, and I have really been enjoying it! :)
    The water in Bermuda looks so nice. I would love to come visit your hometown in the future!
    Have a blessed and joyous day, full of the Lord's summer blessings!

    Your Sister In Christ,
