Mother's Day recap

For Mother's Day we decided we would skip church and spend the day out as a family. The weather was cloudy and a little cold, but at least it wasn't raining. We went out to Mud Bay for a walk along the trail near the beach. It was a bit windy down there, so the kids we bundled in their winter jackets, so it may look a little colder than it actually was.

Aaron got to see the Amtrak train quite close up, which he enjoyed, but would not be the last train he would see that day...

We brought the stroller with us and Kyle rode in that a lot, but he also wanted to walk and this picture is Kyle running. We also found a geocache on the walk and there was a whistle in the cache. I gave it to Kyle and he quite enjoyed blowing it as loud as he could. The whistle may be 'accidentally' missing now...

This was my attempt at a creative photo on our walk.

After our walk we went to Art Knapp's(yes the plant store) in South Surrey and they also have a large model train collection with trains of all sizes. They even have a ride on train in which you can take a tour of Art Knapp in. I think it's better than it sounds, anyway the kids enjoyed it.

This is an attempt a a mothers day shot, getting everyone to smile and look at the camera wasn't easy.

and playing with the Thomas the train collection inside.

This was my last attempt at a mother's day picture at home. Aaron is holding his mother's day present for Shelby. He made her a little pot with some sort of paper flowers and an umbrella in it. Something only a mother could love?

Question: Are husband's supposed to get their wives mother's day presents?
I opted for the safe answer and ordered her something online, but it hadn't arrived on time, it is still coming though. So my backup plan was to get her a Starbuck's card(always a good option for Shelby) and made her a shirt with the kids picture on it(you can kind of see it behind Aaron and Kyle), it says "We love our mom" and it's true.
