Yesterday was a fun day! My mom, brother, Anna and I hung out. They stayed with Anna while I went to Lifetime and got my butt kicked at Total Conditioning. It was one of the best and hardest group fitness classes I have ever done. It made me want to start teaching group fitness again. I used to teach in college and I loved it. Then once I started teaching third grade I didn’t want to teach fitness classes because I just wanted my workout to be me time. I think I want to get back into it…. time will tell!

So after class, some of us did some relaxing… while the rest of us showered and got ready for the day.

Then someone played….while the rest of us got ready for a dinner party!

We made a rib dinner for 9. My parents, Kevin and I, Cindy and Tom, Aunt Sharon and Uncle Jim and Elizabeth. It was a like a big family dinner on a Wednesday. We were sad that Brady and Lindsay and Joe missed it!

The menu:

Baby Back Ribs – cooked for 4 hours in the oven then grilled

Fresh Corn from Chautauqua

Baked Sweet Potatoes

Zucchini Appetizer – my Nana’s recipe as well as a low fat version

Coleslaw

Caesar Salad

We started the party with an appetizer my aunt Sharon brought. I will post the recipe today! This was a simple and pretty dish that everyone loved.

Then there was cornhole and baby time while we waited for the ribs to cook on the grill.

We sat down to a feast!

By the end of the night, we were exhausted from all of the fun!
