How was your holiday weekend? My in-laws flew in from Colorado to do some business down in North Carolina and then beat Hurricane Arthur up the coast to come hang out for the weekend. Finding out that Arthur was going to roll through ON fourth of July, ruining all the fun sunshine plans that we had, was a little but of a bummer, but luckily Arthur was a big old wimp once he got up to our area, so he actually rolled through and was gone by early afternoon. Thursday night was crazy, we woke up at 1:30 in the morning to my phone's weather app going absolutely nuts about a tornado warning (watch? I always forget which one is worse, it was the worst one). Good thing no one else on our street was up, Vic and I got up and stood outside our house to check out the conditions in our underwear, we probably looked pretty crazy! I started the fourth off with a great workout with Misty, 140 slam balls and a mile run, broken up to make 5 rounds of work. It definitely helped me feel ready for bikinis!
We made it out to the beach and the hotel where my in-laws were staying with enough time for Vic and his dad and sister to bodysurf in the gigantic waves. I took Ryker down there to watch for a while and saw a little girl get completely demolished by a lifeguard that was running to save someone. He apologized as he ran off, but the parents were pretty angry about their daughter getting tackled. I thought that was pretty silly, sorry the guy was sprinting to save someone and accidentally slammed in to your daughter that walked into his path, geez. I'm pretty sure if she was the one caught in a crazy undertow that they would want him to run off, too. I stuck around and asked the family if she was ok, in case she needed help, but she was just scared and a little sore.
Ryker had sushi for dinner on the fourth of July! He LOVED it. That kid devoured edamame and California rolls like a pro. He never ceases to baffle me with his eating, he can eat like a champ and will eat almost anything. It is pretty exciting to think that he can enjoy his daddy and I's love of great food. Saturday we hung by the pool, actually Ryker and I stayed in the hot tub because the pool was too cold for us. I only let him put his legs in, he sat like such a good boy, staring at his toes and splashing like a maniac. He was worn out by early afternoon, so we took him home for a good nap. Saturday night we left him at home with Jayme and had a lovely seafood dinner with Vic's parents at Catch 31, easily our family's favorite restaurant. We watched the delayed fireworks off the balcony and had an all around lovely fifth of July.
As much fun as it always is to have family in town, Vic and I are ready to get back to our clean eating and workout routines. I got my cop of Against All Grain this last week, Vic and I are both so excited to try out all of her awesome recipes!
