We had a great Easter weekend! Jenn took Friday off to spend the day with her amazing husband! We went to breakfast in the morning, went to the gym, had a nice lunch, got a massage, hung out at the pool, capped it off with a nice dinner, then we watched Slumdog Millionaire. Have you seen that movie? WOW, what a great movie.....with a solid storyline. It's a must see!
On Saturday we got up early to watch the surf competition at the Cocoa Beach
Pier! We kicked off the day with breakfast at Debbie's Diner, stopped by Ron Jon Surf Shop, parked at the Pier, and headed to the beach. We normally go to the beach at the Hilton because they have a pool and restaurant - but since the Surf Contest was at the Pier, we tried to get as close as possible and luckily, we found a spot.On our way to beach, we went on the Pier to check it out....... We snapped this picture before we got fried on the beach hahahahaha (Actually, we ended up not getting burnt, but the picture still turned out well)
Isn't Jenn cute in her stylish glasses:)
We got to the beach around 11am, so there were not many people settled in yet, but all the booths were set up.............which means Jenn did a little prospecting on the fly!
Once we got settled, Jenn insisted that we take a picture, but SHE wanted to take the picture.....and she is still learning how to take a "couples self portrait", so I think this is picture number 10......however it looks pretty good for a rookie.After the beach we came home to hang at the pool with the pups! Maddie, Dexter, and Wally!
Dexter is praticing for the swimsuit edition coming out in a few weeks (it will be featured on maddieanddexter.com )
This is my favorite picture - it took us about 20 shots to get all three dogs together long enough to get one bloggable shot.
Dexter is learning new things everyday! A couple months ago we started with fetch....and we are still learning - however, he has not learned the "release" command yet. Maddie learned to fetch about 3 weeks later than Dexter, however she dropped the ball from the start.....I guess Dexter just likes the taste.....
This is the best part about having all 3 dogs together. We toss 2 or 3 balls and they all chase after them. Normally we get two out of three back........while Maddie finds a nice spot to roll around in the grass. 
SWIMMING LESSONS!
Yes, swimming lessons. Maddie & Dexter are taking swimming lessons everyday. Dexter was the first to jump on the first step of the pool - as expected and predicted! We estimated that Maddie would follow around the thrid week.....and she did! This picture shows Dexter on the first step of the pool!
Dexter is well on his way to being a great swimmer - now notice where Maddie is sitting:). This picture was taken on Saturday, however on Sunday Maddie paddled for the first time......woohoo!
Wally has been a pro-swimmer for the past 10 years. Actually, he caught on much faster than Dexter. Wally is a unique dog and not many dogs compare to him. Sadly he is getting old, so he cannot run as fast, or jump as high, but he sure does a good job keeping up with Dexter & Maddie. Wally is the most loyal dog, with a HUGE heart! It's so nice to hanging with him again.
Here is a quick shot of Wally in action. He still swims like a pro! He might not take a running start and jump to the middle of the pool, but once he gets in the pool from the top step, he still swims very well!
Here is dexter in action. Saturday he needed a little coaching, but on Sunday he was swimming on his own!
Try to keep your eyes off the swim instructor and focus on Dexter.
We had a great Easter Dinner. Mom always cooks a great meal! Between my parents and Jenn's parents, there is not a Holiday that goes by without an awesome meal! 
This picture was taken after dinner. We figured everyone takes picture of the food when it first hits the table......but you never know if the food is any good. So we decided to take a picture after dinner to show how much we loved the food!
Easter is a very special time of year! Please take a second to be thankful for all the great things in your life, all the wonderful friends & family that surround you, and the bright future that shines ahead!
From all the Magnone's - HAPPY EASTER!
