We had the most beautiful weather this weekend! Jim and my Dad went fishing on Saturday morning for a few hours. Jim came home and said how warm the water was at the lake and suggested that we take the girls back that same evening for a picnic and a swim! We got there late afternoon to a decent crowd for early May! The girls jumped right into the water while I stood thigh deep taking their pictures. Jim was fishing and grilling while the girls were busy swimming. While I was standing along the shore watching the girls swim, a younger mother came up to me and said she hoped that I wouldn't think she was creeping or stalking us, but she was inspired to sketch a picture of the girls and I while they swam and I photographed them. She gave me the sketch and I nearly started to cry. It was so pretty. I asked if I could give her a hug as a thank you! She even signed it Happy Mother's Day 2015 with her initals. The girls chatted with her for a few minutes about her sketch pad and other artwork! Later we went back to our table to eat and I showed Jim the sketch. He was almost as touched by the gesture as I was. He suggested I frame it. I already had the frame in mind for it! Such special people in this world. What a way to make my Mother's Day weekend even more special.
Mother's Day was equally wondeful. The girls gave me their homemade school projects first thing in the morning. Jim made us a yummy breakfast and bought me my new Kindle (the other one was one of the first versions and on it last let). We packed up all of the food we prepared for round two of picnicking. This time at another lake in the area. Another amazing day! We also got to see Nana to wish her a happy day too!
Pictures from our evening swim/picnic on Saturday. Left the camera home on Sunday so I could be completely present in my day.
