Friday evening we had celebrated summer with our Funster group. Per usual, we laughed the entire evening and simply enjoyed spending time with good friends and good food. We opted for a low-key evening (there usually isn't anything low key about our get togethers) with dinner at Oh Yu.mm in B-Ripp.
Adam, Bria, Clay & Mike. Three of these four yahoos ran the relay a few weeks ago so they were rehashing memories and busting balls like they usually do. Good times.
Molly, Maggie, me & Brandi. Molly & Brandi both have 3-4ish month old little girls at home and Maggie is due with her third in 5 weeks. Lots of talk about little babes, but more talk about sangrias and vino. I grabbed some cupcakes from next door (the Fl.ying Cu.pcake) and we called it an early night.
Saturday morning we packed up and headed downtown Carmel to the F.armer's Market. This was a treat for me to go with the family, as last summer I spent every single Saturday morning on the trails for 2-3 hours running. Marathon training doesn't start for another week, so in the meantime I'm enjoying sleeping in and family time on Saturday mornings. Loathing the fuel belt, headlamp and Friday night planning that will soon be in my weekly routine. Have to keep reminding myself I love running.

Izzy and Laney did a lot of dancing to the live music offered. It's funny, the more people in the audience, the more Izzy danced. She really engages everyone, too, with eye contact while she is dancing. She is quite the performer.
Saturday afternoon pool time didn't disappoint. It's been raining a lot here lately, so when the sun is out...so are we!
During Saturday naps, Lori and I attended Chelsea's wedding shower on her mother's plantation. Lori and I were trying to keep our jaws off the ground, as her mom's place was stunning. A 110 year old home, acres of tall grass & wild flowers, a 200 year old barn and a hangar kept us in awe. And Chelsea, she was absolutely beautiful! Her sister's planned a Mad Ha.tter's Tea Party and hats were strongly suggested. Lori and I couldn't find any...so we donned bedazzled headbands. Was so much fun and such a beautiful day for a shower.
The details were spot on. Every guest received a potted flower in a tea cup!
Today started off overcast and we stayed inside watching movies and snuggled up together. After naps, the sun was out so we headed out to the tennis courts. Neither Mike nor myself are very good at the sport, but we both very much enjoy it and hadn't played since I was pregnant with Izzy. So we packed up snacks and drinks for the girls and dusted off our rackets. The girls chased our balls and stayed out of trouble while we got some exercise and some good laughs in.
I asked Izzy to take our picture. She snapped a handful and I think she did a pretty good job!
After about an hour the girls got bored so we headed to the pool. Was a delightful ending to a long weekend!
