Instagrammin’ in July

Summer, summer, summertime…  Our July is a testament to how great, and jam-packed, our summer has been.
beautiful bike ride to harbour town. #hiltonheadisland | fun in the waves. | my MIL’s famous bloody mary recipe. #ellamadethecoaster. | bike riding on the beach in HHI. | probably time for jack to get a new bike. #pedalinglikecrazy #clownbike #itiredofbiking | off to the beach! #chairwithlegs | the strong waves have claimed two pairs of goggles, a new hat, and a snorkel. | sandcastle by the girls. | gregg russell under the great oak tree. #ilovehiltonhead | she belongs among the wildflowers. #seapinesforestpreserve | checking out the wildlife. #11bikesinarow | stoney-baynard ruins. | the quote from the boy: “we biked all the way down here for this old stuff??” | the dangling carrot at the end of a long bike ride. #saltydogcafe #cookiemonstericecream | goggles of the future. | happy 4th of july! | #slatonfamilyreunion | beautiful day at the beach. | gone fishing. | saying our goodbyes. :( #cousinlove | we wore ‘em out! #weekinhiltonhead #headedhome | looks like gator had a fun 4th of july week, too. | baking on her own for the first time! #chocolatechipcookies | finally seeing my last issue in print. | a tumor and ulcerations on his nose have us headed to an oncologist soon.  he seems to have a positive outlook, so I’m trying to, too. | best friends since the preschool 2’s. | having some after-camp fun. | never would have thought they’d be so excited about shopping for backpacks in the middle of the summer. | ready for their triathlon! | another race in the bag! #littletriathletes #theykilledit #allgasnobrakes | finally making some headway on the girl’s room transformation. | rough day for this one.  three more chunks of his nose and snout cut out and a CT scan, and he’s still up for a game of fetch. | it’s taking shape. :) | in charge of the school sign this year and already putting up info about the first day of school. #summersflyingby | excited about his new set of wheels! | mini tina. | bike ride with the kids. | the very, very good news: it’s not cancer. the bad news: still no answers. #dogcantbreath #darthgator # poorpuppy #toughweek | #unsupervisedipaduse #littleweirdos | at the zoo with some of our favorite people. #riverbankszoo | little monkeys in the trees at the zoo. | great time, as always, at the zoo today. | finding some old stuff while cleaning out the closets. #derangedeasterbunny | a week into treatment of steroids, immuno-suppressant, antibiotics, and vitamin B and he’s looking, sounding, and feeling better. | this is summer. | off to sky high after a double sleepover! | finally getting that patio and fireplace we’ve been thinking about for years. | almost done!


Also, here are a few videos I posted to Instagram while we were in Hilton Head.  These videos were my first attempt at filming and posting videos through Instagram and, for reasons I won’t go into, I totally, 100% thought that Instagram videos were silent.  I freaked a little bit when I found out, weeks after posting these videos, that all the videos do post with sound—luckily, when I went back and checked, I didn’t find anything too embarrassing in the sound bits.  Yeah, I’m an idiot.  :)
