Don’t you just love long weekends?? Usually they fly by, but I think since it rained here on Friday the weekend actually seemed like 3 days 
The 4th of July was a relaxing day for the most part. We were able to get in a nice long walk outside with Cooper & Ava before the rain came. After that Marc and I headed to Greenwich Avenue to meet my brother and my sister in law for lunch at Gingerman! It was great. I got an amazing Chopped Salad.. It took a while to come and after I scarfed it down I realized I never snapped a picture oops. It had spinach as the base, with goat cheese, tomatoes, avocado, hearts of palm, pistachios, beets, with an herb dressing! YUMMY. I am not a big beet fan, but I tried a few of them.
It seemed like we celebrated the 4th of July on the 5th. Does anyone else feel that way? The weather was gorgeous! We woke up early took a family walk again, and then decided to bring Ava to the Doctor because she was wheezing/coughing a ton. I was a little worried about her.
Sure enough she has Bronchiolitis… pretty much bronchitis but for infants. Poor little girl. She is taking medicine and I am happy to say she is doing MUCH better today.
In the afternoon we headed to Todd’s Point Beach for an afternoon BBQ.
You can’t even tell Ava is sick. She’s a trooper!
She had lots of smiles with Lauren
My Dad is already trying to get her to swing a baseball bat!!
As much as I love the water… It was still too cold for me to jump in.
Ava wasn’t allowed to go to daycare today.. so we worked around my schedule and I had some help from my brother. I was able to teach Group Power early this morning. I was so pumped to do an older release from last summer. It was my first time doing this workout not pregnant! I honestly loved it.
Marc made me a PB & Banana Vanilla Protein shake to refuel with. I don’t really like bananas in my shakes but this was good. Thanks for making me try it Marc!
Here is a trick…make it the night before and put it in the freezer.. I took it out about an hour before my workout and when I was done it was ready to go!
I taught 1 more class and now I am home the rest of the day with Ava. I am happy to say she is on the mends..
One more thing before I go….. you need to make a fruit salad. This hot day calls for one and it is sooo good.
