We lounged around the house, watched a movie and then headed to the beach for the afternoon. It was a very warm afternoon with little breeze so we spent a lot of time in the water.
We headed back in around 4 to shower and clean up for dinner. Frank & BJ took us to Ruddy Duck for dinner. It was really good!
After dinner we headed to Promise Land, a new craft beer (and wine) store in Morehead. We enjoyed a beer there and checked our their selection.
Thursday morning we took another early morning walk on the beach with the dogs but this time little man and BJ joined us since she was off work!
Later that day we headed in to town to do some shopping. We had to go to Petsmart to get a gift for Vegas for her birthday. Then we went to Best Buy so she could get my birthday present! I got a bluetooth wireless speaker! The JBL Flip... it is pretty awesome!
We ate lunch at El's Drive In on our way home.
After we got back I decided to try to make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie roll-up that we saw a recipe for online. It turned out delicious!! I posted the recipe here a few days ago.
That night we headed down east to go Kayaking at sunset. It was a really pretty night and quite a workout.
Friday we packed up some snacks and drinks to head out on the boat for the day. We rode over to an area where we could go clamming and the dogs could run around without anyone else around. In under an hour they collected over 100 clams!
We decided to head over to Shackelford, hoping to meet up with Trey's cousin. We stopped at a pretty wide open area on Shack that was still shallow enough for the dogs to run around but also do some swimming.
After a couple of hours the tide began to come in and the current really picked up. It got a little too deep and strong current for them to enjoy swimming as much. I was curious if a life jacket would make Vegas feel any more comfortable (and less stressed) while trying to swim in the deeper water so BJ put a human life jacket on Vegas. It was pretty funny. I do think it helped a little but the current was really picking up so they could barely control the direction they were swimming in.
We headed in and the water was pretty choppy, which is why we were never able to meet up with Trey's cousin, it was too rough for them to get out at the time. Vegas was so exhausted when she got out of the car she literally took about 3 steps and laid down... they both slept well that night!
Saturday morning we were woken up to Frank's cooking :)
After breakfast we headed to the beach for the day. We took the dogs and walked them for a while then had them lounge around with us. Frank and BJ were walking the beach looking for beach glass and then they headed back to the house and took the dogs back with them. We stayed for a couple more hours and got lots of sun.
The neighbors came over for drinks and helped us celebrate Vegas's 9th birthday!
We gave her the present we got her (a dragon with 16 squeakers!) and also gave Tyson and Little Man presents so they wouldn't be jealous ;)
Then we enjoyed cupcakes for her birthday too.
Frank cooked the clams that they got on Friday and we grilled burgers.
All in all Vegas had a great birthday... snuggling with daddy, hanging out on the porch (one of her favorite things to do), chasing her light, playing on the beach, getting presents and cupcakes!
