Our fun Mother's Day adventure began the day before...decorating cupcakes for MOM!!! Yes, I made them. I had been dreaming about them for days and days. They were coconut cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting. Mmmmmmm, so delish.
Then, to finish off the evening, a beautiful rainbow came out. I was standing on the porch, and this was the view down the driveway.
Here we are at this really cool park on Bainbridge Island called Battle Point Park. It's huge, and really, really fun. Here are a few pictures to prove it!
This is about 1/3 of the park. Baby bunnies were hopping around under the little ramp. Check out the huge grassy area behind. How cool is that??
Another big view, with little Sawyer checking it all out.
And what's a park without a tree to climb? Lee put Natalie up in it, and up she went!
Pretty fun park, yes? After our picnic and more playing, we got in the car and headed...to park #2!!!! Woohooo!!!
Faye Bainbridge State Park was beautiful and really fun. The clouds in this picture are above the Cascades (!!!), and we could see the Seatle skyscrapers. We will come back to Bainbridge Island to play!
What a wonderful day! Something your children will always remember. I wonder if Sawyer felt like he was in a giant's city when he was exploring? It's been 50+ years since I visited the Bainbridge park... looks quite different!
ReplyDeleteMegan, I think it is so cool how for YOUR Mothers Day you pretty much gave your family the coolest day ever, complete with cupcakes. Your photos are beautiful, such sunny weather, fun toys and lots of green grass. I'll have to take tips from you on how to plan to ensure a successful, fun, happy Mothers Day. Great post!
