I had the best Mother's Day this year. As fun as it can be to go away, get pampered and have some alone time my favorite thing to do is spend quality time with the people I love. So, that's exactly what we did.
Matt arranged the perfect day hike at St. Edwards State Park. If you've never been (and live in the area) you need to go! I can't believe it took us this long to get over there, considering it's so close to our house and has the perfect combination of hiking trails, water, huge playground and big grassy fields for miles around to run, play and eat a picnic lunch.
Carter was amazing and walked over 2 miles up and down trails while Lucy hung out on my back in the ergo. We hiked down to the beach so the kids could play near the water for a bit. It was such a beautiful day.
Carter just loved climbing anything he could reach, throwing rocks, finding swords (sticks!) and walking through the mud.
We couldn't help but take a quick family picture in the middle of the hike. I just crack up when I look at Lucy reaching her neck over to the side to get in the shot. Silly girl!
Matt also packed a picnic lunch. He even pulled out our picnic basket we got for our wedding and have never used! It was so cute how he thought of every little thing. Grapes for the kids, fancy cheese, salami and crackers for us. Lemonade for drinks. And he even baked homemade brownies for dessert!
After lunch we headed over to the enormous playground and for over and hour. It is huge and the kids loved it.
After a long day we headed home. Lucy fell asleep in the car (all of that hangin' around on my back must really tire a girl out?) and was still conked when we got home. So, I did the only natural thing…lay down and nap with her!
It was the perfect way to spend the day with the family I love!
