Sunny Weekend

Having a weekend all in the 80s around here means LOTS of fun time outside. I complain about the rainy, dreary weather the majority of the year, BUT when it is nice here, it is AMAZING!  We did a lot and I took way too many pictures :-)

First up, Friday evening me and my friend Kim had a girls night that included pedicures, dinner and a movie. We went to see Magic Mike and I thought it was completely stupid.  Pretty much a waste of time. If it would have been Channing Tatum doing dance routines the whole time it would have been better; he is an amazing hip hop dancer!  But even with the dumb movie, it was a fun girls night! I am trying to get out and do things as much as possible now because I have this fear that after this baby is born, my outings alone will be few and far between.....at least for the first several months! 

A few months ago I posted about how we went to a Farmer's Market that had pony rides, and even though Leah showed interest, once we got up to them she chickened out.  Well last week she randomly said to me "I am ready to ride the ponies now, I'm not scared." Ha! Well, ok! So on Saturday morning that's what we did!  She got right on and was so excited! She cried when it was time to get off!!
Now she keeps asking to go back to the Farmer's Market to ride the ponies again! 

That afternoon we set up a little hopscotch sprinkler that I got Leah for only $5!!  She loved it, perfect for her age! We just grilled hot dogs and played in our backyard the rest of the evening!



I am enjoying being pregnant this time of year much more than in the winter!

Sunday we decided to go to Newcastle Beach Park which is so much fun! We wanted to get there early to get parking since on nice days the beaches get super packed. It wasn't as bad as we thought thankfully. This place has a big grassy field, playground, and a beach right on the lake. We were there for a few hours before we wanted to get out of the sun and go home for lunch and Leah did NOT want to leave!

Snack time



Let's go in the water!
Leah made a friend and they had fun running from the little waves together
She was getting brave and went in pretty deep!
She tripped and fell and got upset :)
Fun weekend in the sun!
