Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July!
Matt had the day off and we felt like doing something special so after a long family walk, morning naptime and some playin’ we all went to Beer Run for lunch.
Beers for lunch – it was a holiday and all!
Matt and I shared a salad –
And a juicy bison burger!
M enjoyed a new placemat with cheese, avocado and bits of bison burger served atop.
We headed over to our neighbors’ for their annual 4th extravaganza and then later on packed up our bathing suits and a picnic for a trek out to Mint Springs Park with Karen and some friends.
Mazen was excited to see his girlfriends!
We parents had a wonderful spread of foods – salads, dips, watermelon, sushi, bread
We had dinner at 5pm! And then all took a dip in the water. Maze loves it and his new floaty!
We dried off for dessert before heading home for bedtime –
A local pie, Great Harvest sweets and a berry crisp made by Gina. Fabulous!
We did not get to see fireworks this year, but our little spark kept us plenty happy <3
Suzanne says
That cobbler looks unreal! Happy fourth!

Yeah, and the kids look beautiful too. Lovely post as usual Kath, I need to buy a camera soon (even though I’m typically against accumulating digital belongings)- you always inspire me!

What a great 4th! Archie has that same floatie and loved it at the pool! So glad I have a baby that loves the water. And I love your swimsuit top. Great coverage! I had such a hard time finding a top with great coverage this year due to me still nursing and finally found one but man, it made me think that maybe I need to design post partum swimsuits!
KathEats says
Athleta – best mama suits!
Liz says
Gosh, Kath, you look fabulous in your two piece!! Looks like a fun and busy 4th.
Evelina Micall says
I second the motion, Liz! It really looks fabulous on Kath. I wish I can wear that. I think I’m motivated again to do some workouts. lol 🙂
Shel@PeachyPalate says
That kid has the biggest beautiful eyes! Love the nails and might I add although I’m not usually one to comment and tend to avoid it but you’re looking fantastic! 🙂
lisa fine says
Mazen is getting so big, and he looks more and more like you the older he gets. Love it.
Sounds like a fun fourth – gotta love picnics with friends.
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
Looks like a fun celebration! I love your nails and the berry crisp. It looks so yummy 🙂
David @ From Ballparks to BBQ says
It looks like Beer Run is yet another place I need to check out in Charlottesville.
And I see you going with the local Chateau Morrisette Blackberry Wine! Good call!
Nina @ Too Hottie For That Body says
Americana at it’s best!
Ashlee@HisnHers says
Mazen is getting so big!! I hardly knew it was him the stroller pic. And that serving spoon in that delicious looking cobbler is adorable. Love it!
Tiffany says
Kath, you look great!! Love your hair and neckless in the picture with Mazen’s stroller. How old is Mazen now? He is getting so big and cute 🙂
Cait's Plate says
Love, love, love your nails! And that second picture is SO adorable my heart can barely take it!
Glad you had a good fourth!
Lily Parkes says
Happy 4th day! It looks like you really had a wonderful day. My family went to the beach and we’re so tired right now. Anyway, I wish we brought some beer. 🙂
Jessica says
Kath you look amazing!
Kim says
I love your nail polish! How fun 🙂 My husband and I had bison burgers yesterday too! Great minds think alike, I guess!
jodea @ chillichocolatelove.com says
That crisp is making my mouth water.
Liesl @ Fitnessinthekitchen says
All the food looks fresh and delish! What a simple and fun way to spend the 4th as a family. There will be many years of fireworks ahead. 🙂
Aisling @ Sunny Side Up says
Sounds like a great day. Yes, you look fab, you go girl x
Tonya says
Rock that 2 piece Kath!
Lindsay says
You GO Kath! You look fab and so does that spread of food, the lake, and the whole day really;) We enjoyed our first 4th back in the States after 2 years, so fireworks were a MUST! We enjoyed watching them boom over Kailua bay in Hawaii;) A great “welcome back” to the USA!
Jenn says
I find it interesting that you share your meals with your husband. If I asked mine to share a burger with me I’m sure that idea would get shot down really fast. 😉
KathEats says
It was his idea : )
Jean says
Love your nails! So festive.
Maggie @ Sunnyside Up Smile says
Looks like you guys had a fun day! You look great by the way! You have a nice core- good for you! 🙂
hanna harrison says
do you mind if i ask where did you get Mazen’s tube? m
KathEats says
From Amazon : )
Jessica says
It cracked me up someone asked why you share food with your husband. Well, that’s why you have a baby and look amazing in a bikini. Everything in moderation!
Maureen says
You look fabulous!
I love sharing meals when we go out. More flavors to enjoy! 🙂
Laura says
Kath, was there a baby book that you once recommended that had a good technique for getting babies established with a sleep routine? I know there was one that I read about somewhere and I wondered if it was here.
KathEats says
There are a few of the sleep books I read listed in this post. How old is your baby? I am not really one to ask about sleep because Mazen didn’t sleep until we sleep trained at 6 months (using Ferber’s method so perhaps read his book?) Good luck!
Gina Langford says
We had so much fun with y’all!!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Looks like the peeeeerfect day! Family + food (and some beer) + your little firecracker!!!
I wasn’t so fond of the banging outside of our house when the little one was trying to sleep—- party pooper over here!
Janette Emerson says
Wow! You really had so much fun. I like the combination of beer, salad and burgers! I’m just worried about getting so much food and ruin my weight loss program during occasions like this.
Live Love Yum Well says
The second picture is ADORABLE!
Chelsea @ Designs on Dinner says
What a wonderful fourth! I love how sushi is just randomly thrown in with your eats for the day. Can’t say no to sushi, though! 🙂
Mer says
Cute nails! You are bikini ready!! You lost it fast after having a baby- congrats!
Anna says
Beautiful 4th celebration 🙂 That pie…*drools*
Anna says
Also, your nails are so holiday appropriate!
Ilane @cultiv8health says

Great pictures as always.
Katherine says

Jacqui says
Your pictures are always so amazing! The salad with walnuts looks delicious and I am now craving berry crisp! Thank you for sharing your day with us!
