Mother’s Day & Mountain Hunting part 2

First thing the kids told me this morning was “Happy Mother’s Day!” as they each gave me the silly band they had picked out for me to wear today.

Nate was working so I thought we’d go back to the beach to try and find that mountain since it was another nice day. Before we left I even checked the webcams I could find with Rainier in them to see if it was still hiding – from the Seattle webcam it looked clear and the Rainier Park webcams showed blue skies.

When we got to the beach:

You can see it better today but the top is still covered! The Seattle webcam was still clear, it was just where we were. Grrrrr!

But the kids were still glad to be there. It was A LOT more crowded today! Not very surprising though because it was a nice holiday in a place that is often wet, so ALL the people in the area tend to come to the water when it’s warm.

After we came home the kids wanted me to open my Mother’s Day gifts.

Saedi made hers at school. It came wrapped in tissue paper with a tag that said “do not open until mother’s day”

She made a card:

and a picture frame:

There was also an extra picture her teacher sent home with it.

Gavin made me a book:

{3 little “pictures”} MOM IS =) {a “leaf clover”} MOM I LOV U

Not bad for trying to spell everything himself.

Both Saedi and Gavin picked me flowers while we were at the beach too, so I pressed them and will put them into a frame.

I love my kids! And I know they love me.
