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!
You are so rockin’ that bump! Love the dress – is that one of the Old Navy ones you picked up? The best part of my weekend was hearing baby’s first spontaneous belly laughs – first at the dog then at my nephew bouncing a flat soccer ball. Go figure! But BEST sound in the entire world. = )
You’re looking lovely, Kristin! That little bump suits you. Looks like an incredible weekend! I definitely tried to enjoy the weather too – the most fun part was getting my ultimate frisbee team out for a practice. The start of the season is coming up this week!
You are a gorgeous pregnant woman. :)
aww you are expecting!!
nice congrats!!!
aww you are expenting!!
nice congrats!!!
This was a fun post!! You look super cute :) Sounds like a fun weekend!
Did you play some golf? I know a few ladies who have said they have “out-drived” their husbands on the fareway when they were 7-8 months pregnant!! So, I told my husband that we could give it a go! I’m about 21 weeks now. Belly’s not too big, I think it’ll be ok.
I didn’t. I suck really (really) bad and heard the twisting motion isn’t great when you’re this far along. I can’t wait to get back into regular physical activity!
I walked and enjoyed the weather, wore sandals and just enjoyed the wknd:) You look so cute pregnant!
It was so nice to see your smiling face in my blog feed. You look amazing! We had a wedding to go to this weekend. Carter enjoyed dancing like a fool at the reception. (We did too!).
You look adorable!! What a great weekend, outside!
I’m with you Kristin, I’m trying to spend as much time outside as possible! Farmer’s markets, walks, bike rides, yes please! Although I’m paying for it with my allergies!
Also, you look great in your maxi dress! :)
Ha ha if you don’t have an open invite from your parents already, just wait ’til that baby comes! :) You look adorable! Thx for the pic of the bump. Wasn’t this weekend just glorious?!
I was in Des Moines running my first ever half marathon!
