Mother's Day Weekend

I didn't exactly have the Mother's Day weekend I envisioned this year...mostly because Marc was pretty sick all weekend. However, with Auntie Ann and Uncle John and Uncle Ryan in town, we did manage to pack in a little fun!

On Saturday, Marc was supposed to run the Don't Fence Me In trail run, but he was too sick...so Ann and Ryan had to run it without him. Marc was feeling well enough to attend Kellan's soccer game (He scored a hat trick!) and then head downtown to meet them at the finish line, though. While we were downtown, Megan discovered the National Guard had set up a climbing wall so she decided to try it out:


She didn't quite make it to the top, but she was close! The boys had a great time rolling down the big hill next to the library:


After all this activity, we were starving so enjoyed lunch at Bullman's Pizza and then headed home for naps.

Marc was really not feeling well on Sunday, so we skipped church. I made the kids their favorite breakfast (pancakes) and then we went to Grandpa and Grandma McCauley's house to visit with everybody before they had to go home. While I visited with Grandma Samson and Aunt Carol and Marc napped, Auntie Ann and Uncle John took the kids for a hike up Mount Helena. This is the gang preparing for their hike:

Though they didn't have enough time to hike all the way to the top, they had a great time! After the big hike, we went home for a quick lunch and then I took Megan to her soccer game. The girls played a tough team...and Miss Megan scored two goals!

Even though it wasn't the best Mother's Day ever, I guess I can't really complain 'cause I had a great day with my kids. Now that Marc is feeling better, I asked him if I could have a do-over Mother's Day....I don't think it's gonna happen. Sigh...
