Well I don't think I could've packed more into this last weekend if I tried. Enjoyed the show & fireworks at My Waterloo Days Friday night as well as some catching up time with Mom. Saturday morning Mom & I went to cheer on my sister Jessie & brother-in-law Chris at their first 5K race- they did great! Mom & I made home-made signs and parked ourselves in someone's driveway along the route. We cheered on everyone that ran past us & really screamed loud for Jessie & Chris. This was slightly embarrassing but worth it because of how grateful everyone was for a little bit of encouragement! I think we were the only people cheering along the route so we were a welcomed sight for weary runners. Check out Jessie's blog for more details about the 5K.
Next we enjoyed the Cedar Falls Farmer's Market together and had sushi for lunch (I never get sushi because my hubby Mike would rather eat dirt than seafood so I always jump at the chance) and after that Mom bought me some more flowers for my garden at home.
Then I headed back home to spend the rest of the weekend with Mike. The gorgeous weather was just calling us to take our Harley for a ride so we explored Lake McBride State Park and took a hike to the spillway. This hike caused some major thirst so we stopped for a beer at the nearby golf course on the way home. The rest of the night we spent grilling brats, watching a movie and playing Mario Cart on Nintendo Wii which is by the way THE most fun Wii game yet!
Yesterday we woke up and decided it was the perfect day for golf so we headed to the Amana Colonies golf course which we are members at for an early 18 holes to start off the day. Gorgeous course+gorgeous weather-ridiculously bad gnats and bugs=pretty good time. The rest of Sunday was spent napping & reading in my hammock. Sigh. Perfect.
What a weekend!
