The name of the game this weekend was OAMAP (outside as much as possible!) Here’s what we’ve been up to over these gorgeous past couple of days, as seen through the lens of my iPhone. (A concept borrowed from my bestie Laura!)
Saturday morning Ben and I ran errands then decided the best use of our time would be to find the nearest patio, sit on it, and order lunch.
PF Changs won out because frankly Ben and I are both always craving it but are unwilling to pay the price (both money and calorie wise) for dinner entrees. Lunchtime portions and prices on an airy patio overlooking a sweet little pond though? Epic call. I could eat their Mongolian Beef every single day. MMM!!!
Afterwards we took a little stroll around said pond in the sunshine.
Bumpdate!
I have officially reached the point in my pregnancy (27 weeks) where it’s no longer comfortable to bend down or lean over for more than a few seconds to pick things up or tighten my shoes. Thank goodness for my chivalrous husband. : )
Later that night we joined my parents on their back deck for the first grill out of the season. So begins the weekends of inviting ourselves over every chance we get. We just love their back porch!
Beer brats and fresh salmon which I marinated in Italian dressing for 20 minutes were on the menu, which sizzled and popped to perfection over an open flame.
Paired with fresh fruit and Grandpa’s Pasta Salad, the meal was a complete success!
This morning Ben and I woke up and hit the trail for a long walk and iced coffees. I’ll admit, I was a bit jealous of all the folks running, but a brisk walk with an icy reward at the end was sweet too.
Afterwards we hit the green for 9 holes under beautiful, sunny skies. It was hot but the course had a great breeze running throughout.
While he putted, I held the flag and together we walked nine holes. With the hills and such, it was actually a great little workout!
Our day ended where it had the night before. Back on my parents porch, under sunny skies. Can it always be like this? : )
Tell me one fun thing you did this weekend!
Were you wearing an Iowa shirt during your walk this morning? Thought it looked liked you as i ran past but didn’t want to make a fool of myself! :) anyway, huge fan!!
Yeah! A black one with yellow stars? That was us. Next time you’ll have to give a shout! :)
That definitely looks like a good weekend! My favorite part of the weekend was seeing the movie 42. I love afternoon dates with my hubby. Have a great week!
I have been craving brats so now I will have to make them soon! This weekend we enjoyed the sun and shared some pretzel milkshakes and cakeballs while walking down the street and finally settling in the park. We also got some garden work done and transplanted our tomatoes!
Built raised vegetable beds on Saturday, then a night out with friends. Sunday golf with my husband and my mom, then relaxed on the deck and grilled? Life is good!
I golfed at Jester Park yesterday! Which course did you guys hit?
We played Willow Creek. Not the nicest course in the world, but better than nothing!
You look beautiful…love the dress! The food looks pretty darn great too! ;)
LOVE that colorful floral dress! You are looking quite gorgeous :).
I walked around the JC pond with my German Shepard on Saturday, walked more today, sat outside on our patio, etc. Windows are OPEN!!
We walked Lake Harriet and hit up some vintage antique stores in Minneapolis. Such a gorgeous weekend!
I was so excited to just open our windows and get some fresh air in! I deep cleaned our house…I would have preferred to have been outside but theres nothing quite like the feeling of a freshly cleaned house with a breeze blowing through. Love the pics!!
Kristin, you are TOO cute in all of these springy dresses! And all of your photos are beautiful. So glad you had such a nice weekend and were able to enjoy this lovely weather! I cheered on the runners at the Hy-Vee Road Races this morning. It was great seeing them all conquer that course!
Have a great rest of your Sunday. :)
The highlight of my weekend was booking our hotels for our Charleston getaway, inspired by IGE! It’s right around the corner, and it had better not rain the whole time like the weatherman predicts!
Oh my goodness you are just adorable with that little belly! Looks like a gorgeous and fun weekend! We have been enjoying some very pleasant weather as well and soaking up as much outdoor play as we can! Love it!
