My dad is in the hospital- to start out- so excuse me for not writing lately. I haven’t particularly been in the mood because I’m worried about him. If everyone could wish the best for him then that would be awesome.

I did want to write a little something though. I went out trail riding with Julie, her husband and some of her friends the other day. I did this with a sprained ankle mind you, because I’m dumb and don’t understand what the word “rest” means. Lol. The trail ride was fun… god the florida heat is so humid. Sickly humid. I ate and drank lots of water before I went but I was literally dying by the time we were done. Not to mention Fancy worked herself up into a sweat about an hour in. She was being a tad bit bratty though.

It was alot of fun because I haven’t went trail riding in forever, and it’s hard to find people who trail ride without riding western, because I don’t like western all that much. There were a few awfully cute turtles along the way, alone with some weird looking bugs that had 5 inch long wings and thoraxes. Extremely scary. Aside from that, and the heat trying to kill me, it was extremely pleasant.

For the 4th of July we had some friends from Miami stay with us. It was really fun. We spent the weekend relaxing, hanging out and celebrating. We went down to city walk and wandered to the Hard Rock Cafe to see the fireworks. They were beaaaautiful.. yet short, because we failed to get there on time. We went on a mission/adventure for fireworks, and we even had our own (Which chris proceeded to abruptly light and toss out the car window at any given time) that we were dying to play with. After toiling through the busy and jam packed drive-in parking garage (not that there’s any other way to get into a parking garage except driving) we just got the the little river thing in time to see about 5 minutes of fireworks. The journey and the dinner beforehand were fun, so I guess that’s all that matters.

Then we met some people who were visiting from Ireland. They were fun to drink and hang out with until the girl decided to book it and be a weirdo, leaving her boyfriend behind. Therefore he took off after her, and we never got a chance to get their numbers for the glorious beach/surfing trip we attempted to plan the next morning. Oh well. After we got home, we proceeded to jump the gate to the pool, where I sprained my ankle. Funny though, I didn’t feel the effects until a week later… and it took that long to swell. It’s better now though.

And on another note, my cute little subjects, the ducks, were shot again. This time I managed to get the babies as grown ups. If you saw my last set of pictures, there were some little itty bitty cute and fluffy ducklings following their mom. Now they’re grown up and ADORABLE! All the pictures are in my flickr, and I was kind of too lazy to edit any of them except three… but here’s a taste of them.

Click the one below, it’s really big and pretty but I have a feeling wordpress is gonna chop off the side of it. If you click it (or any of the pictures for that matter) they’ll open in a new window.

ANNNND in this one below, it looked like one duck is attempting to kill the other via beak, but they’re really just pruning eachother.

aaand I’ll throw in one more. LOOK! CUTENESS PADDLING IN THE WATER!

Enjoy and wish the best for my dad please.
