Mother's Day this year was absolutely perfect and that included the gorgeous weather! Todd made his famous Japanese Chicken Salad for lunch and planned a picnic for us at Inniswood Metro Gardens. I think this is the 7th or 8th picnic we've done for Mother's Day/my birthday and Todd plans it at a different place each year so we can check out "new" parks. I'd heard great things about how beautiful this park is and quite a few people use it as a place to take professional pictures. We had our picnic first and then ventured into the actual park to wander around. There are a bunch of paths and gardens throughout and we probably spent over an hour walking around checking it all out. Since it was such a warm, sunny day, we decided to cut our trip a little short because we didn't want the girls to get sunburned (and it was way past Cece's nap time).

All I really wanted was a decent picture of me with Lucy & Cece and I'd say this one was pretty good

My favorite area was Sisters' Garden which is more of the children's area; the white building is Granny's house and behind it is Bessie's Barn and to the left is a working windmill

Lucy grabbed a pamphlet of the Sisters' Garden and found a bench to sit down to look at it; I just thought this was a cute candid picture of her "reading" the pamphlet
Todd brought the tripod and we attempted a family picture
Lucy threw a penny into the waterfall & I told her to make a wish; she said, "I wish to be a queen!"
Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures of flowers but did snap a picture of these pretty ones
