Say Cheese!

Today, I thought I would share a few pictures that I took this weekend. Poor David and Moxley were subjected to my camera all weekend. But it was fun. David got off from work early on Friday, so he was in Thomasville by the time I got home from work. I love it when that happens and we get to spend an extra evening hanging out. We debated on going and hitting up the night life of Thomasville (yeah right) but ultimately decided on staying home and firing up the grill for some yummy steaks. Plus we had Mox to contend with since he also made the journey, since we were headed home to Blountstown for the weekend. Bentley was excited that he had a visitor. Before he and Stacey headed off to west Florida for her to go see her mother, Bentley and Moxley got to run around the yard and play.

Of course, I don't think Bentley appreciated having to share his tennis ball with Mox. And to show his disapproval, he decided to pee on Mox. Mox, of course, was oblivious to it all. He was too excited to be running around the yard with a tennis ball to notice!

He sure is a sweet dog. No wonder a Golden Retriever is one of the favorite dogs of all times (He still isn't a dachshund, though...). Much to David's dismay, I made him and Mox have an impromptu photo shoot. I love making people uncomfortable and awkward with a camera constantly clicking in their face! The pictures turned out really good, I just wish I made David take off his sunglasses. Oh well! There's always opportunities for more pictures down the road!

Aren't my boys so handsome? I love these two guys and they are quite a pair! I wanted to do a photo shoot on Sunday at my parents house with me, David, and the dachshunds but luckily for the boys, it was raining and nasty, so we never got the chance to and I am sad about that. Maybe Father's Day weekend will provide better weather conditions. On Saturday, we headed to Blountstown. We got into town around lunch and were sad to discover that neither my mom, nor his had fixed anything for lunch. (we are pathetic, aren't we? ha!) So we went through the drive thru at Burger King and grabbed some food and road around town to eat, taking in the sights of our beloved hometown. We made the obligatory trip down to the river landing and went in search of the llama that used to reside in someone's front yard in a neighborhood in the middle of town. And I can't make stuff like that up. We ended up on the west end of town on the way to my parent's house and did a ride through of the park. I of course persuaded David to go for a brief walk on the trail through the swamp that leads to the Pioneer Settlement.

I haven't been on that path in a long while, so it was nice to take a quick walk down memory lane with my fella.

David was a sport and let me take some more pictures. Bless his heart for putting up with me, is all I can say! This was how our conversation went:

Me: Ok...walk down the path like a runway model, then turn around real sexy like and make a Zoolander face.

David: Really? How about I just walk away from you.

 ME: Where are you going? You don't want me to take your picture?
David: No.
ME: Please?
David: Ok.

David: How's this?
Me: Good! Now come back and let me get some close ups.
David: Sigh....
ME: Ok, now stand like you are on the cover of GQ magazine

 Me: Ok, good. Now do the thinking man.
David: I'm done. (hands on hips) Your turn!

I protested because I really don't like for my picture to be taken. But he had been such a good sport, that I decided to let him play Ansel Adams since he allowed me to play Annie Leibovitz. I was a much better sport than he was. I will go ahead and warn you, this isn't pretty!

Told you! Now you see just how ridiculous I really am. But we had fun. Life isn't fun if you are too serious and just can't have a good time! After our photo shoot we headed back, but took the time to read the graffiti all over the little pavilion. We caught up on on the drama of the teenagers in town. But my favorite thing I read was this:

I had to laugh because walking down the path, I commented to David that this trail looked a little "squatchy". Thanks to our love of watching the show Finding Bigfoot that word is constantly in my vernacular.

So that is our little mini-adventure and our photo shoot outtakes. Tomorrow, I will post about our encounter with our very own rattlesnake.
