ZOOtopia?

A trip to the zoo was
just what the doctor ordered.

A few weekends ago we decided
to go to the zoo - SO WE COULD FEED
THE GIRAFFES - but we also checked out all of the
other animals too.

A Birthday & Beach Day

May 27th was my 

hubby's 32nd birthday.

Every year I ask him what he would like

to do, and he always says the same thing...

"Idk...Nothing Really"

Omg! What am I supposed to do with that?

So we always just end up going to dinner - just

the two of us. 

This year I decided I was going to take matters into

my own hands. 

I decided to throw Ricky a surprise party.

But not just any surprise party - a 

bowling surprise party.

I was even able to get

his parents to drive up for the event :)

*I feel like it is necessary for me to put my "bowling look"

in here...*

I told him we were going bowling for his birthday -

but I did not tell him there would be a party waiting for him!

And let me tell you, it is almost impossible for me to keep

secrets. So this was big.

The next day we were off to the beach!

I know, I know. We are crazy

for going to the beach 

on Memorial Day Weekend, but it

really wasn't as busy as I thought it would

be. 

We headed to Cocoa beach to meet

up at Coconuts for a few drinks

and then some fun in the sun!

Thank God for these babys... The sand was SCORCHING!

I feel like I should be holding up an ice cream cone in this pic. #instagramready

Damn Steph, perfectly posed legs!

Here I am, expressing my thanks to Leigh and Steph for

providing the champagne.

Ohhhh this hat... #hateit

Here is where the fun begins...

A friend from work let me borrow his reflector to try out.

So we put on quite the show of 

"trying it out" lol.

I just love the golden glow it gave us!

For the following pic, we flipped the reflector over to the

white side. This obviously gave us much less of a

golden glow, but it was still pretty!

Had to get the booty shots in...

Jarrod Bought a Boat!

It was a beautiful day in Orlando

last Sunday!

So we were invited to go boating with 

an old friend and his girlfriend.

Jarrod just recently bought a boat

and needed to put hours on it before

its first checkup? 

Apparently that's a rule?

Whatevs.

We met Jarrod out in Oviedo 

to pick up his boat.

Took a few selfies in the car to make sure the new camera

was working!

Boat Makeup! Yes I put makeup on for boating...
But the makeup has sunscreennn! So I tell myself it's acceptable.

Ooooooo Oviedo...

This is their Snapchat filter...

That's all I have to say about Oviedo...

So we picked up Jarrod's boat!

When we took it around the other side of the barn to

wash it off, was where things got creepyyyy.

I know... I know - I'm being dramatic, but I felt like

I had just walked onto the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Movie set.

These pics don't do it justice. 

After hosing down the boat, we headed

off to Cocoa to drop the boat in

the Banana River. 

Don't worry - No alligators, just sharks.

This river is a mix of freshwater and

saltwater to make brackish water.

THANKFULLY we saw no sharks,

just a few dolphins :)

And we're off!

We passed by so many beautiful sail boats!

It makes me miss having one!

A couple hours in we stopped for lunch and a quick dip!

That fin is a dolphin fin!

Ricky and his orange. Thank goodness it was an orange, because 

a banana on the Banana River is apparently bad luck!

#goodtoknow

Eventually, I got tired of being the one

taking all of the pictures, so 

while the two lovebirds took a dip, 

I forced Ricky to play photographer!

Let it be known - cheeky bottoms are in!

Tell your friends!

Wondering where to buy a cheeky bottom?

Liquid Ambition has a great

selection and they are Florida

Locals!

The bottoms I have on are reversible! They have

adorable little pineapples on the other side!

Moving on...

After lunch we started the long treck back.

So I made myself comfortable... per usual.

We followed a boat named Liquid Vegas.

I imagine it had a slot machine inside.

If I had a boat named Liquid Vegas - I would

have a slot machine inside, along with a poker table.

I really got a kick out of all the different names

of the boats that were out there.

Some people have quite the imagination.

Had to take a pic of this sail boat. It looks EXACTLY like the one my
family had when I was growing up!

We passed by a boat graveyard.

Or I'd assume this was a boat graveyard.

There was SO much corrosion - and as someone who has 

written a lesson on corrosion for ships, I know that it is ONE BIG

NO NO!

*WASH YOUR BOATS PEOPLE!

Saltwater corrodes and will cost you

tons of money in damages.

So I'd hope its a ships' graveyard.

It sounds much more exciting if its a graveyard anyways.

After about an hour of cruising on idle...

we finally made it back to dry land.

Sunday Funday Boatday was a grrrrrreat success!

Thanks Jarr Bear!
