Beautiful Days

Yesterday was such a beautiful day.  I took off work to spend some much needed time with Scott and so that I could better track and measure my food to see what I needed to take with me each day.  I am so glad yesterday was the day I did that, because the weather was absolutely gorgeous.  After spending the morning at home together we decided to load up and take the four wheeler out to check for some good rabbit hunting spots for Scott.  It was wonderful just riding together in the nice warm sun taking in nature.  I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.  To me, the sights and sounds of nature are the best.  We were relaxing, enjoying our ride when we heard some frogs croaking.  We stopped for a bit to take in their sounds, then continued on our way.  We had a little adventure with a creek ditch and lots of pushing/pulling (Scott, not me) and shoving sticks under tires for traction before we were finally on our way again.  While Scott was struggling with the four wheeler I enjoyed my mandatory snack so we got stuck at a very opportune time.  I did feel bad not being able to do any more to help than I could.  I was basically left with the job of pushing the gas.  Had I not been pregnant I would have been pushing and pulling just as much as Scott was.  Getting stuck is a regular occurrence for us when we ride.  We get stuck in the mud...stuck on my leg...stuck on stumps...stuck in the ditch.  Hmmm, that might make for a good Dr. Seuss style nursery rhyme for Micah about Mom and Dad's adventures.

After we got unstuck we enjoyed a little more riding before loading up and heading back home.  All in all, it was a great day.  And I got the pictures below, which are very comical to me!

Couldn't pass up this reflection!  I think I need to retire this maternity shirt until next time!!!

Yikes!!!!  Preggo silhouettes are not flattering in the least!
