Mothers Day picnic in the park..






So, on Mothers Day Lloyd took me to the garden centre in the morning and we had a stroll around...we then went to Starbucks for coffee. On the way home we stopped off and bought some groceries for a picnic. Went home and packed up a lovely picnic and then we all headed to Elk Island Park for the rest of the afternoon/ evening. We were going to have a traditional picnic on a blanket but ended up using the blanket as a table cloth (lol) and sat at a table instead.....we just assumed they'd all be busy but it wasn't really as busy as we had thought it would be - surprising as the weather was lovely. 19c I think. The children played soccer etc. Susie and I took a walk....and some pictures....we went to the playground and spent a while there. We drove around the bison trail. We all went for a walk around the boardwalk and we went down to the beach and skipped stones. Lloyd and Laurence were competing to see who could make their stones bounce the most.

I think we got home around 8pm - in time for the kids to shower and get ready for bed as they had school and Track and Field day the next day!!!

All in all it was a fun day :)

I hope everyone had a great day :)
