Mother's Day, Lake Day

My family gave me the perfect Mother's Day. At my request, we took the boat out and spent the day in the sun. Leaving our house I was kind of disappointed because it was cool and breezy. But by the time we were on the water it was perfect weather. Mike and the kids fished and I sprawled out on the back of the boat. Maegann and Zack met us after she got off work. It was just as I wanted.

Happy Mother's Day to Mom and Mama Judie. Thank you for showing me what it is to be a good Mom. I love you both.

 

 

Maxwell fished the WHOLE day. We moved from spot to spot and he was so patient and into it. It's so fun seeing my kids develop hobbies and interests.

Ella preferred sitting on the back step with her feet dangling in the water.

 

 

 

Gone Fishin'

We took the kids fishing at a little lake in a nearby neighborhood. It's a shame they won't have any video or photos to remember their childhood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Camping At The Beach

Saturday morning we took our RV to Morro Bay to camp for the night. I always think this sounds fun, until nap time or night time and it gets really hard with the kids. But this trip was different! Maybe it's because they're getting older, but they took a nap! And went to bed, together, in their own bed! This might not be big for some families, but in ours I always have a hard time with the two of them when we are away and it's time to sleep. We spent a couple hours on the beach and I was disappointed because I forgot my memory card for the camera. When we went back out to play before dinner I remembered I could use my phone...so here are my phone pics. This mini trip made me excited for more camping this summer.

Sand crabs

Our friend Jerry and his son Cooper came to hang out for a bit. Jerry takes Max for a ride.

After lots of playing on the beach we set the kids up with a movie...and they fell asleep. I was so happy :)

The next morning was opening season for ocean fishing. Mike's friend's picked him up early and they went out on their kayaks. Mike caught this guy- can't wait for fish tacos!

The bummer of the weekend...we came home to a leaking ceiling in our kitchen. It now looks like this. A project we weren't ready for.
