My best Mother's day!

I had a fantastic Mother's day this year. I got to sleep in late and was woken up with presents and cards. I recieved a willow tree angel, a memory card for my camera and a book that Emily made at school. After reading the Sunday newspaper and eating my cinnamon rolls that hubby made, we piled into the car for an adventure. We decided to go up into American Fork Canyon. I had seen some photos on a neighbor friend's blog and decided to find out where that was. She told me that it was quite close to home so I thought it might be a nice trip to take. It only took us about 20 to 30 minutes to get there and it was so beautiful. We drove along the road not quite knowing where we wanted to go but the scenery was just gorgeous. We tried to go to the summit but the road was closed so we turned around and headed for the reservoir. There were alot of people fishing and walking around the lake. We decided to hike up a little path and see the lake from a different view. Well that was the wrong thing to do. The kids totally freaked out when we were walking the path because they would lose their footing whenever we went down a hill. I took these photos of Emily and Casey trying to get down from the path. I was laughing to kill myself ( I couldnt help it) Our little family went on a 50 yard hike..that was all we could handle. LOL! We did manage to find a nice paved path to walk on and it even had a walking bridge that went over the stream. We were doing fine until Chris and I saw the "Please stay on path because this is a rattlesnake area" sign. We decided it was time to turn around and go home.
I got lots of photos of the trip and downloaded them to Walmart. Our new Walmart photo center is awesome. Well back to the rest of the story. We got to go to dinner for Mother's day. We went to Tepanyaki which is very much like Shogun for you Alabama folks (it wasnt as good as Sho gun!) Casey did great this time. He only flinched a little when they started the fire on the grill. It was yummy and the people brought me a free piece of cheesecake for mother's day. I finished the day off by painting and planting out in the garage while the kids scootered. I was a relaxful, wonderful day that I will always remember. Thanks to my three loves, Chris, Emily and Casey. I love you guys lots!
