Sunday we spent the day at a lake with some friends of ours. They're considering buying a lot so they rented a boat and we cruised around scoping it out. It was great! After a minute of being very unsure of the whole idea of swimming, Patrick decided he loves it. He giggled and splashed and had a blast!
I made
pulled pork from my friend, Kat's, blog. It was so delicious! Her recipe calls for a red pepper mango salsa, which I was all set to make until I realized I had to get mangoes. Jon was a good sport and went and got some for me Saturday night, but they weren't ripe so I shelved that idea and discovered a really good paleo/Whole30
BBQ sauce. Yum! My sauce had a little more kick because I used spicy mustard instead of yellow. I would highly recommend that change. We made sweet potato chips as a side and were very happy with our diet friendly picnic.
Here are some highlights from the trip:
 |
| All dressed up and ready to go! |
 |
| He took first shift as driver. |
 |
| Just kidding. He napped. Hard. You have to be tired to fall asleep with a life vest on. |
 |
| This is how he felt about STILL wearing the life vest after he woke up. |
 |
| The views were beautiful! |
 |
| I've decided mountain lakes are the best. |
 |
| Swim gear, minus the life vest. He rocked it. Clearly. |
 |
| Still not too sure about this water stuff. |
 |
| This is fun! (That's a laughing face, I promise) |
It was such a fun day!! I can't wait to get Patrick swimming again soon.
Day at the lake looks so fun! And the view is gorgeous! Thanks for the shout out :)
