Celebrating Mother's Day ever since I became a Mom is so special. It's the precious blessing that I have that no money can buy. Being a Mom is such a huge responsibility but it comes with great rewards as well. Anyway, we pre-celebrated Mother's Day in the State Park but before we left that morning, my daughter made me breakfast in bed (I will make a separate post about that on my food blog), how sweet After breakfast, we went to Tomlinson Run and had so much fun out there. We went for a long walk
My daughter is allergic to mosquito bites so I let her use my arm protection sleeves.
I love it that my kids love to explore nature. Not many kids does these kind of activities anymore. I think with the presence of technology, most children nowadays are contained in the room playing games.
We were surprised to see some shell casing along the road of the park. We thought that was odd that someone fired shots out there. It might be from a sheriff or a police who wants to scare away some coyote or something (I hope that was the reason).
My kids look forward to go to this lake during warm weather. Just seeing cray fish and other bugs and critters makes them so excited.
Ms. Burrito does not have a perfect balance so her brother gave him his walking stick.
Her goal is to cross the other end and stand on the big rock. It took a while but she did it. She fell and had a wet butt but she's happy lol.
Mission accomplished, that's a smile of success right there!Mr. Burrito was busy picking empty shells in the middle of the lake then I asked him to turn around and give me a smile so I can take a photo of him.
He smiled, and feel on his butt too. So of course he blame me for it lol. I didn't mind being blamed as I got a sweet smile out of it.
I love seeing my kids having fun if what nature has to offer. This is the kind of fun that no gadget can give.
I always forgot to bring extra clothes for these Burritos but good thing, we always have towels in our car.
We stayed quite a good bit at the lake, we let them have fun splashing in the water before heading back home.After our nature adventure, we visited Dad at his house.
My kids and husband bought me a gift. I wish they look for some coupons before buying it, they could have saved some moolah hehehe. On the actual Mother's Day, my husband cooked some breakfast for us and hen we attended the noon mass. My daughter served in the altar, I was pleased to see that. It was her second time being an altar server.
We didn't go somewhere in that day but we are planning to do something special with the kiddos on Father's Day. A day at Sky Zone would be great since my kids love jumping on a trampoline. That's why I am glad to find this Sky Zone coupons at Ann Coupons website. This would help save some from our budget. My niece-in-law told me about the new place near our area so we might check that out.
How about you, how was your Mother's Day celebration this year?

So happy you had a nice Mother's Day! We ended up going for a hike/nature walk on Mother's Day, too!
I took my Mom out to her favorite restaurant on Mother's Day (I had saved up some points from a credit card I have so I had enough for a free meal which made her VERY happy!!)--THEN the next day she fell and fractured her shoulder. At 92 she is lucky that is all she broke but we have someone there in the daytime for her to help her dress and make her meals. Hopefully she will start feeling a bit better soon!
Great photos! Looks like you and your family had great time together in the nature!
What an awesome way to spend time with the family. It's so cool that you guys were able to hang out in nature like this.
This reminds me of my own childhood. We used to go camping a bunch in Colorado. I wish that I could take my own family, its been a long time since I have been up that way.
It looks like you and your family had a great time. :)
Oh what a nice time with your family! That park looks amazing to walk through, so much nature!
Happy Mom's Day and looks like you had so much fun that day. The pics are nice and kids loving nature that's good.
That looks like it was such a great family adventure! We love going on hikes with the grandkids whenever possible, awesome memories! :)
Looks like that was a great Mother's Day. The shell casing could have been from hunters. I'm sure your son thought it was a neat find.
It looks like you had an amazing time! We had horrible weather Mother's Day weekend so we weren't able to get out like you did.
What a great way to spend Mother’s day! I love when we are able to get out and do things like hiking its so much fun!
Aww, it looks like you had a really lovely Mother's Day. No better way to spend the day then outside with the ones you love :)
What great photos and a way to share Mother's Day! I think mother's should be appreciated every day!

I am not a mummy yet so not mother's day fun yet but glad you enjoyed yours and you're so right about some kids missing out on what nature has to offer
Great mothers day getway! Your family is adorable!!
Great recap, sounds like everyone had a great time. My kids love their gadgets yet they still appreciate nature. I don't know how long it will last but for now I soak it up as long as I can. I'm not a fan of the outdoors and I'm allergic but I would do a trip like this with my family.
