Photo an Hour: Birthday Shenanigans!

Today I'll be sharing some photos from my birthday, which was last saturday! Skylar took me to a cute little town called Galena in Illinois, to walk around and do some shopping. Here was the day broken down by hour!

8am // Starting our drive! Along with some iced coffee, of course.

9am // Made a pit stop because Skylar had to use the potty. And of course we had to stop and take a picture of the pretty hills in the background! It's super flat where we live, so whenever we see hills it's kind of exciting.

10am // Finally made it to Galena! We stopped in a cute little cafe to have some late breakfast/early lunch.

11am // We discovered a shop that sold only salsa and hot sauce. Of course, I had to make Skylar try the dip called "Excruciatingly Painful," because I sure as hell wasn't going to try it haha. He said it was indeed 'excruciatingly painful'.

12pm // Still shopping around. I found a yarn store that was advertising kitties in sweaters, but unfortunately they were not selling any cats wearing clothes. False advertisement.

1pm // We decided to head home pretty early, because we are kind of like old people in that we get tired super quickly, haha.

2pm // On the way home, we stopped by a thrift store, and Skylar found this bitchin' accordion for only $20! As you can see, he was quite excited about it.

3pm //Since we were so tired, we decided to make ourselves some coffee so we didn't fall asleep, and hung out on my back porch. As you can see, we have extremely different tastes in coffee. He likes his black, while I basically like a cup of creamer with a little coffee flavoring in it, haha.

4pm // We were trying to force Star to hang out with us, but she wasn't having any of it. We let her outside even though she's usually an indoor cat, and she wanted right back in after about 5 minutes. What a party pooper.

Well, that's all the pictures I took! During the evening, we went out to eat with Skylar's family. I kind of wish I would have brought my camera along though, because then I could have documented Skylar's mom twerking on the Ruby Tuesday's waitress, haha.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Photo an Hour: Forced Family Fun Time

Like I mentioned in my last outfit post, last weekend, Skylar and I attended my family reunion! Here's some photos of the day, (mostly) broken down by the hour.

12pm // You can tell Skylar wasn't as thrilled as I was to be there, because he didn't know anyone. Poor guy.

1pm // It was a bit crazy, because this reunion was so large, we all had nametags with who we "descended" from on them! I only really knew about 7 people there, and there was at least 150. Crazy!
Since Skylar wasn't technically related to anyone, his nametag just said "Guess who I am" haha!

2pm // Required family mingling. Here's my Dad and brother being weird.

3pm // Snackin'. I was so hungry! (NOTE: If you have anything against animals being cooked whole, LOOK AWAY FROM THE NEXT PICTURE)

4pm // I was slightly suprised to find that they were cooking a WHOLE DAMN PIG for dinner. Whaaat? I'm not gonna lie, it was delicious though. Haha! (I don't mean to offend anyone with this picture, I just thought it was crazy that it was happening!)

5pm // Skylar and I decided to venture into the woods to explore! I found lots of neat stuff, and I made friends with a toad!

6pm // Playin' a little baseball (well, my dad and brother playing baseball, Skylar and I just sat on the ground throwing grass at each other, because we are 5 years old.)

There you have it :) After we got home, I basically just threw some sweatpants on and sat on the couch for the rest of the evening, so you don't really want to see pictures of that, haha!

I hope you are all having a lovely Tuesday!
