This past weekend, Rob and I spent two nights in Cheaha State Park at a cabin! It was glorious. We hiked, napped, ate cookies, went out for dinner, watched movies, and just generally did what we wanted when we wanted (something that goes completely away when you have a kid). I want to go back every year!
We couldn't take Bells with us (the cabin we were in was not pet-friendly), but we are glad we didn't because it was chilly at times and windy pretty much the whole time. She stayed with our friends Matt and Jess...and their dog, Butters.
What an orchestrated event just to go somewhere!
We obviously had to take Harper with us, but we didn't leave Em outside with the cats. (And actually we left the cats inside...) Anyway, Em spent the night with Joy and Charlie for THREE NIGHTS. They pimped her out to win a costume contest with Chelsea the dog on Saturday morning. I don't have a pic of Chelsea (the contest was for dogs), but here is what Em looked like, and she was part of Chelsea's "costume". They obviously won (what kind of asshole votes against a BABY?), and Em got her picture taken for the Shelby County newspaper! She is famous!
Joy, of course, made this tutu. Em and I picked out the shirt last week.
Meanwhile, in Cheaha, our cabin and the view from it looked like this:
We hiked up to here the first day, about a half mile one-way, then stopped for snacks. Rob took all these panoramic shots.
Before dinner on Saturday, we took the boardwalk to see the gorgeous sunset.
Outside the restaurant where we ate dinner Saturday. Anxiously awaiting those fried pickles (I don't like pickles any other way!) that we ordered for an appetizer. Also, if you have not noticed, I have reached the point that I like to call "stupid-pregnant". 32 weeks, counting down, and feeling like a land monster (though in this pic, I at least look smaller than I feel)!
Sunday before we left, we half hiked and half rolled down this hill to get to the small waterfall. It was a good reward.
And a good view from the top.
Sunday morning, I woke up pretty early and decided it was a great time to paint my toenails. This adventure somehow ended with spilled nail polish remover, a shattered OPI nail polish (my favorite one!), and a cut on my finger. I painted my toenails last night in my 2nd favorite shade, though, and they are super cute. (Yes, I can still reach!) Just in time for mine and Harper's baby party this weekend!
Happy Monday-hope everyone has a wonderful week!
