A Perfect Weekend

My mom returned home yesterday (sniff sniff). I miss her already, but at least I have some good memories and great pictures to remember the time we had while she was here.

Friday we went to a flower plantation to see the beautiful display and gardens. This was the perfect place to visit with my mother. Caleb was not with us for this excursion as he was at a birthday party for one of his friends. So it was just us girls who walked the gardens, found our way through a flower maze with Mae as our leader, enjoyed a wagon tour of the flowers out in the fields and took lots of memorable pictures.

Then on Saturday we took Mom to the beach. It was on her list of things to do while she was here on her visit. So we could not disappoint her, that would not do! As there were no complaints about going to the beach, we all got back into the truck for an afternoon of sun, sand, and ocean! Mom brought her camera and took some pictures of our outing. I'm glad she did too, she took some good shots! (thanks Mom!) When we got back home I plugged her flash card into the computer and snaked some good shots and copied them onto ours! (thanks again Mom!)

I enjoyed having my mother here at my house, I always do. My only hope is that she won't mind coming again (even if that means enduring the long road trip to get here, but hey, that's what airplanes are for...right?!).

**The slide show also includes a few pictures of when the kids and I were in Modesto last week. I had to squeeze them in too because I, well, just had to! (big grin)
