Sum Sum

Summatime, summatime, sum, sum, summatime.

We’ve been listening to oldies on Pandora all morning. <3

I stayed indoors today reading with the ocean in view. Closing in on this book! It’s been a really good book – highly recommended if you like descriptive adventure and dogs (The Tale of Edgar Sawtelle)

Matt and I went out and bought beach necessities: an umbrella, a jug of clean water, sunscreen.

When we returned at 2PM, our stomachs were grumbling for lunch:

IMG_6594 (640x427)

A nice little sky-high sandwich on High Five Fiber with cilantro hummus, pickle, ham, spinach, mustard, a thin slice of pepperjack

IMG_6602 (640x427)

And that giant slice of watermelon –

IMG_6596 (640x427)

IMG_6603 (640x427)

Bubs

IMG_6600 (640x427)

IMG_6601 (640x427)

Larbs taught me how to make a peanut butter sandwich with the TJs mini oatmeal cookies. I put a half tsp of Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter – mmmmm!!!

IMG_6605 (640x427) 

And now that hunger for lunch as been quenched, our appetite is revved for the beach!!
