Mother 's Day Spectacular
What a wonderful Mother's Day I had. The weather was so nice and warm with a light breeze, And I received so many beautiful gifts from my children, it started out like this, first I got a Kitchen Aid Attachment Ice Cream maker from my son, I had so much fun with it couldn't wait to make ice cream. And can't wait to shoot my next video on how this works.
Wow my Daughter showed up with a very large gift all wrapped up with a pretty ribbon on it it was so pretty I didn't want to open it, but when I did there inside was all baking items it was great I can't wait to use them .she really out done her self and I love her for that.
See what I mean!!
Gift was filled with all kind of baking items, fantastic!! Can't wait to use them. My day didn't end there. We then went on a Picnic since it was so beautiful out side so we went to a beautiful park. And then my day really started.
My Husband and I were relaxing in the sun and getting ready to have lunch, with the kids, and of course we took Julie our dog. The kids had so much fun playing in the park going on the swings, just being Kids.
Us girls just laugh and laugh all day long, had a ball!! Then we added a little more excitement to our day "Row Boating" Here We Go!
Its not easy as it looks, I was first stuck in a ditch on the side had to paddle away from it which my Daughter was laughing so hard watching me struggle with the oars finally got free, we had so much fun and couldn't stop laughing.
My beautiful Daughter court on really fast how to Row that boat she was a real Trooper!!
We had so much fun even though we were a little rusty on rowing just being together made it just right!
Then we finally court up with the rest of the crew.. and finally we headed home, It was exhausting but what a fabulous day!! I can't tell you what a fabulous family that I have I couldn't live with out them there my Joy, my Life, My Love. Best Mother's Day Ever***
