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!
My family & I went out for ice cream for the first time this year. And we opened a bunch of windows–It was SO nice to get the fresh air in the house!
I cheered my brother on as he ran the Drake Relays half today! Made me really excited for Dam to Dam and for starting Drake Law in the fall!
PS I LOVE YOUR MAXI DRESSES!!
You look beautiful!
I planted sunflowers and moonflowers with my daughters this morning.
It hit 80 degrees here today! But alas I had to work today :( Got to spend a teeny amount of time outdoors. You are looking beautiful! The worst problem for me was finding a comfortable way to sleep when I was pregnant! I’m usually a stomach sleeper, so it was not fun! :)
My Mom and Dad took our kids for the day and my husband and I hit the lake in our kayaks after some Chipotle…..awesome day !
Seriously, Iowa weather has been AMAZING this weekend. Finally was able to take the young ones fishing, and for ice cream!!
Looks like such a nice weekend!!
You look so cute! Love the baby bump. I’m 30 weeks right now and definitely understand the trouble of reaching anything. I’m applauding that you still are wearing cute shoes. I tend to just go for the flip flops. :)
I did put on my cute sandals (which needed buckling…eeek) for date night on Saturday. We got a babysitter and went into downtown Fort Worth. We walked around the city and stopped at Uno’s for pizza.
Super cute weekend pictures.
That looks like a fun weekend! I walked to the lake and back. It ended up being almost 5 miles. It was fun to outside in the awesome weather.
you are so super cute!
Love the “weekend in pictures” concept. My boyfriend and I took advantage of the nice weather this weekend and played a round of golf, too! Lots of fun, and definitely felt like a workout after lugging our clubs 9 holes! Btw, you are an adorable pregnant woman! :-)
you look beautiful! love seeing the bump!
Picnics in the neighborhood park. Breakfast lunch and dinner. We’ll be burned out before summer :)
