The usual busy one as well.
Sunday was filled with lots of fun.
In the morning we met mom and dad and Adam and Yvonne and kids at the Royal Botanical Gardens. We had hoped to walk through the rock garden but seems us early birds were an hour too early to enter the grounds. Instead we enjoyed a walk along the marsh.
We were surrounded by a symphony of nature sounds - the frogs and birds were chirping non-stop. I was surprised when I heard something moving through the grass. A snake? Yes.
And what did Evann and Leah find the most fascinating?
On our way to brunch, we stopped in at the cemetery to pay our respects to Gramma and Grampa Hammond and Uncle Dennis.
The setting is breathtaking and it stimulated an interesting discussion with Evann on cremation vs burial. I love walking through cemeteries and it seems that the girls found it more fun than they expected. Especially when they found Snape and Potter headstones a few feet from the other.
Brunch at a local restaurant was delicious. Avry and Sydney kept us entertained.
Home to do a bit of laundry and hang it outside. Evann and I raced out the door when we received an invite to take a spin in Brigid's convertible. Five girls piled in and we cruised downtown Oakville.
And just hung around the car a bit...
We did manage to tear ourselves away from the car and take in the busy little downtown and its ice cream stores and bakeries.
My oh my, that was a fun way to cap off a lovely Mother's Day.
