Mother's Day fun

I think I officially had the best Mother's Day ever. Last week the kids had a party for all the Moms at school, which was really cute. Sunday we started the day with a hike up Cowles Mountain. Now that the kids are a bit older, the hike has gotten a lot easier. Mind you, it's still challenging (read: adults in full body sweats on the ascent) but at least everyone isn't wiping out anymore!

After our hike, we went over to our friends' house for brunch. They have a pool and it was mighty hot this weekend so everyone was glad to lounge around outside. After a lot of quiche and a few mimosas, we decided to gather everyone together and go out for dinner. Dan and I aren't usually up for activities on a Sunday night but this time we just decided to roll with it. We had such a fun day and even better we got to spend it with great friends.

The only thing that would have completed the day would have been getting to see our Moms! But I know they both had great days and were with other siblings (Mom in NYC with Laura, Sue in Florida with T). Getting to spend the day with the kids and Dan was so fun and a great reminder of how much I love our little family.
