Mother's Day Weekend 2007

Happy Mother's Day!

What an amazing weekend we had! Our weekend started with a little Saturday morning date for Mommy and William to Gymboree (It's usually a Daddy and Pookah event, but since it's Mother's Day and all, Mommy got to participate!!!)

On Saturday afternoon, the most beautiful arrangement of tulips arrived... from my boys! These beautiful flowers arrived just as we were leaving for a little adventure to Bear Mountain State Park. We drove south to visit the carousel and Hessian Lake... a beautiful afternoon!!!

Aren't these gorgeous!

Not too sure about this!

Watching the boats and the fishermen!

A pensive Pookah moment!

On Sunday morning, we woke up, packed some snacks, and headed north to Minnewaska State Park and Lake Minnewaska. We hiked the red trail around the lake. We hiked over a mile uphill and downhill and uphill again. Then, settled on the green for a little picnic. William played with two children he met, Nate and Ella. He was so excited! We finished lunch and headed home.

Pookah Family moment!

What an amazing view of the lake!

The youngest hiker in the pack got a little tired (don't tell him I told you!) He would stall by stopping to show Daddy some beautiful new rocks!

A bridge above the trail -- William said, "whoa....!"

On the beautiful drive home, we noticed that a car accident occurred. Daddy, being the wonderful paramedic he is, stopped to assist the family who was injured. We were so proud of him!!

After this brief but important delay, we went straight to the closest Starbucks for a cup of joe for the ride home. This is when Pookah Bear passed out!!

Being a mom is such an unbelievable blessing and spending this Mother's Day weekend with my boys was amazing!

Love, Kathryn
