Mother's Day

In the past we haven't done anything out of the ordinary for Mother's Day. It's on Sunday so we usually spend it as a family, a nice breakfast, church, and then to Barker's soccer game and then he'll usually make something I really like for dinner. 

But this year Barker decided to plan something more specific. It was wonderful. He really knows me. I love to celebrate holidays like Mother's Day and Father's Day doing something family friendly. So he decided to take us to a petting zoo type place called Gators and Friends. It was fun! The kids loved it, too. 

 

Audrey was somewhat hesitant to feed the animals by hand but not Hudson. He took a handful of food and shoved his whole fist in a goat's mouth! Hysterical! So then Audrey decided she could too. They fed all kinds of animals.

  

She rode a pony.  

 

And they watched gators swim and eat. 

Hudson called them dogs and refused to budge on that. 

Then we headed to Superior for lunch to get my mexican food fix. 

Audrey made Barker take her to the shops to buy me a gift. She was adamant on what she wanted to get me. Flowers. So Barker let her pick out flowers for me. 

She chose purple and yellow tulips, her favorite, to remind me of her. And another bouquet of daisies, pink carnations and red roses because she said she remembered I love roses. Sweet girl.

Her school held a muffins with mom morning and they made flowers out of Audrey's hand prints on yellow paper, her favorite color. She also drew a picture of our favorite thing to do together. She said her favorite thing to do with me is eat cake and ride my bike. Maybe if I didn't eat cake with her I wouldn't have to ride my bike!

Her Mother's Day survey went a little something like this-

How much does your Mommy weigh? 60 pounds

How old is your Mommy? 6 years old

What's your favorite thing to do together? Vacuum

Best thing about your Mom? She's sweet and kind.

What's your Mom good at? Riding a bike

What's her favorite thing to eat? Strawberries

What's her favorite drink? Lemonade

What's the best thing your Mom cooks? Pancakes and cookies

What's her favorite TV show? I have no idea

What does your Mom do to relax? Take a nap

And Barker had 2 soccer games, too. Wouldn't be Mother's Day for us with out a big pre-church breakfast followed by soccer. It was a memorable weekend, for sure!
