Mother's Day Picnic

How would we live such an abundant, fulfilling, gratifying life without our amazing friend, google? It would be much more complicated!  :D We did a google search for beautiful parks in Ogden, UT area and the map brought up this beautiful area thick with trees and a pond - Beus Pond Park.  Bingo!  Our little part of the family met up with Jake & Lindsey's little part of the family and we spent a beautiful evening at the park. (thinking of all the other little parts of our family who are far away)
Great trees to climb and water to throw sticks into...a pretty duck 
pond full of beautiful birds...a playground that was just right 
and lots of grass to run around on. 



We had our favorite Strawberry Salad, Queso, Guacamole, fresh fruit and in honor
of Mark's mom, Lemon Rolls! Marie makes the most amazingly, 
tender, sweet Orange Rolls.  I didn't have an orange on hand 
but the lemon was a great substitute.

For dessert we enjoyed homemade Vanilla Pudding and Camber's crispy-chewy Oatmeal Cookies.
 Growing up it was very common to have a bowl of jello or pudding for dessert.
My cute mom would make the best homemade puddings! 
It was extra special when we got bananas and  whipped cream on top!
Oh the memories.
We sure love our mom's and all they have 
taught and shared with us over the years. 
What a gift.




 The evening was just delightful.

 Papa showed us how to make little whistles out of dandelion stems.  Molly was fascinated!




 Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful women in our lives!  
You sure make us feel loved and happy!


One more thing...I was just bitten by the instagram bug.
awesome.
