we <3 the beach

Greg and I are so lucky to live near the beach, and it's become routine for us to take long walks with our crazy pups.  Picture perfect right.. holding hands, strolling the beach.  Until your dog finds horse poop and attempts to bathe in it, or perhaps a larger more gross dog drools all over your precious little girl.  It's lovely.  But at the end of the day, it's probably the funniest hour of our day.  They literally just run.. from the moment we get to the top of the stairs that lead to the beach until we drag them away.  And Lola has yet to learn the concept of shaking, so by the time we get home she's covered in sand.  

Goyo is on the left, and Lola on the right.  

Goyo LOVES to dig holes!

They love to play fetch, but fight over the ball too much to bring it back

As I've said before, we go to a super tiny church.  This year all the missionaries were having their big meeting in Gijon.  So we didn't have church today, but our pastor asked us to watch the kids during their meeting today and tomorrow (it's a holiday here).  I was under the impression that we would be babysitting, until earlier this week when I found it all of the kids were teenagers.  Totally different.  But it went really well.. it's amazing what crosses cultures.  We found ourselves singing Miley Cyrus at the top of our lungs and playing Uno.  I love it!  Needless to say.. teenage girls are awesome, and very loud.  Greg was amazed at the amount of noise just a few girls can make.  And boys-they're all the same too.  The boys were younger (7 & 11) and they were happy to make paper airplanes and terrorize everything the girls did.

And... for anyone who's counting.  Greg and I have been married 6 months today!  The majority of which we've spent in Spain.  We miss you all at home!
