Mother's Day Love

I always love Mother's Day! Perhaps because it is in the Spring and the weather is warming up. Just as Easter symbolizes new life, it seems the same for me with Mother's Day! The beginning of outside activities, with all the fun that brings...BBQ's, picnics, the cabin, family and friends playing outside together! And life begins to open up to the warmth of the season!

After our Church meetings on Mother's Day, we went out to the cabin and enjoyed a BBQ of 'sliders', potatoes, watermelon, salads and beautiful weather! We were there with Grandma, Lindsay and James, Mark, and our friends Carolyn and her son Matthew.

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed a walk down to the lake and saw all the new growth and awakening that is happening down there.

Our cabin sits up on a ravine so we have a nice walk of about a half kilometre down to the lake through beautiful trees, ferns and bushes.

 

 

 

We enjoyed time just sitting on the dock visiting and laughing together. Of course Rachel was in the mix of it all.

 

 

 

Lindsay and I had a fun time taking a few pictures together...it was so tempting to push each other into the lake, but it was Sunday!! And I'm pretty sure that lake was still very cold!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this new I-Pad and it's camera features. Sometimes I just get a little crazy and take a few too many pictures!! This one I call 'Defiance", they seem to be thinking...

"OK Mom....you can take our picture AGAIN...but we're not going to be happy about it!!"

But what a great picture of the sitting on the dock, which we haven't put in the water yet.

 

 

After our walk down to the lake we went back up to the cabin for some dessert of apple crisp and ice cream, compliments of Lindsay. It was so delicious!! And then time in the hammock for Matthew, he loved it! You can tell by the "I'm staying right here" look on his face.

As evening approached we had to head back to Edmonton and leave the cabin behind. That's always so hard!! But it was wonderful to come home and call Jon and Tiff, and Cam and D, and have fun visits with them. They have such cute families. It was fun to wish Happy Mother's Day to my sweet daughter-in-laws. They are such wonderful mother's!! It was a great day full of love, I will remember it for a long time!
