Mother's Day Fun

So Eric had to work on Mother's Day and since I did not want to be alone, Jarekah and I took a road trip to the beach to visit my parents. I love the drive and decided to leave extra early so we could attend my parents' ward. We arrived with plenty of time to spare and enjoyed their service.

After church we went back to mom and dad's where my brother was waiting for us. We had a huge lunch that my parents prepared. We had bbq ribs, pineapple shrimp, green salad, bbq baked beans, homemade potato salad, rice, and a few extras. Needless to say, we were all very full.

After lunch we ventured out to the beach where it was VERY cold and windy. Jarekah fell asleep in the car, so my mom stayed with her. I went out for all of about 5 minutes and nearly froze to death, so I went back to the warm car. My dad and brother played with some kites and then we went back to the house to enjoy a dessert of blackberry pie and ice-cream.

After that Jarekah and I had to make the treck back home. I hated to leave, but Eric was preparing a special Mother's Day dinner for me and we had a long two hour drive back home. All in all, it was a very fun mini trip and it was nice to spend some time with my family.

Mom, brother Jarek, and Me...EXTREME close-up!
