yellow submarine






You guys may or may not already know this (from one of Olivia's posts) but I love The Beatles.  Especially their album, and movie "Yellow Submarine." The movie is crazy and weird (so are most of the songs on the album) but it is also exceptionally awesome. SO, when Olivia and I were at Goodwill, she found this sweatshirt. It is a yellow zip up sweatshirt, nothing special about the style, but on the front it reads: 
                  
The Beatles
Yellow Submarine 
                                              NOTHING IS REAL
It is probably my favorite item of clothing (you can see it in the first couple seconds of the video also) After Goodwill, we walked to Starbucks, in which there is a daily trivia question. If you answer the question correctly, you get a free shot  of espresso— which Olivia did. In the video you can see her saying "wow, that is really strong coffee," after drinking it. Next, we walked to the town landing and hung out on the beach for a while. And although it was cold, we went swimming (not really swimming, more like jumping in and then getting out.)

finley

So a couple of days ago, my friend got a new PUPPY (I want one) He is a black lab, his name is Finely, and he is one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen :)

I probably didn't need to put together an entire video of this dog... but I did anyways.

guacamole

I love guacamole with chips or nachos. This is a pretty simple recipe, and not too hard to prepare

 {cut one avocado and put into a bowl}

 {dice one tomato and add to the avocado}
 {dice 1/2 clove of garlic}
 {add about 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice}
 {mix everything together with a fork (to mash the avocado)}
{good when eaten with nachos}


enjoy :)

Today, my dad, my friend Oceanna, and I went to this little beach on Macworth island. Although it was a little cloudy, it was so beautiful on the beach. Of course, we took my dog Milo — and we walked down the shore for a while.

 {add about 10-12 strawberries into a blender with 5-10 pieces of ice}
