Mother's day at the Greenbelt

For Mother's Day this year I wanted to do things a little different so I decided to take the fam and go for a picnic on the Greenbelt. We had a ball rollerblading, bike riding, feeding the geese, and eating a yummy picnic.

I found this island in the middle of the river with a waterfall running thru the middle of it. I sat and looked at that island out there with no people, no kids, no phones or worries and felt myself longing to be there. If there was a way to get there without drowning I would do it in a heartbeat. Just for a moment or two of peace and meditation.

So after our picnic, Chelsea looks up in the tree and starts to laugh at this funny little squirrel that was all stretched out in the sun on his branch. We got quite a chuckle out of him.

So I find this tree that is so fun for picture taking and stuck Kadee up in the notch between the branches. She lays down on the branch and says, "I'm a squirrel, all scrunched up" We started to laugh until we cried. She was trying to be the squirrel that we said was "All stretched out" and instead she was all scrunched up :D

So Jackson wants this chocolate doughnut and OH did he have a fun time with it.

Nick and Jenn came with us and made it all that more fun! Aren't they just the cutest? ;)

Lynn, our official photographer, wanted to take pics of Micah and Chelsea jumping out of this tree so he laid down on the grass and shot as they jumped.

All the girls did a group hug and Kadee goes, "Now we're all squirrels." Another laugh so hard you cry moment :)
