For Mother's Day last year I chose to do something different than just hanging out at home then going out to dinner in the evening.
The weather was just like how I like it, cloudy and fresh. So I thought kayaking at Lake Sammamish would be a great way to spend the first part of Mother's Day.
Isn't it such a nice drive?
Given that it was a Sunday in May I was shocked to see that the lake was almost bare of people. I saw only two more couples so that made our kayaking experience much more enjoyable.
Jacob always takes on the duty of having Riley with him when we're out exploring so they shared a dual.
I was over here enjoying my solitude and my surroundings. Oh, it is SO much fun. I was completely in my element and given that it was cloudy just made me so happy! Kayaking is easy to learn. I like it when I have to slow down or turn because of how quickly and smoothly I glide. It's so simple.
Those low clouds ... just perfect!
Right here Jacob and Riley snuck up on me to try to pass me up. Cheaters!!!
We like to look at the nice waterfront properties. I hope these people realized how blessed they are to live right on a lake. I would like to think that I would constantly be out on my kayak if I lived here. It would be such a great way to destress and exercise.
Both Sydna and Nathan had to work so it was just us three heading out to eat BBQ Pete's for a late lunch. We love this place. The ribs are smoked and so tender. Their Puyallup bbq sauce is very tasty and their ranch is made in house and very good as well. I love it when restaurants make their own ranch.
One of my favorite desserts that I don't get to indulge in much is a caramel pecanbon by Cinnabon. So delicious right?!
Jacob gave me pretty tulips with irises mixed in, a card and perfume. So grateful for my husband in knowing me so well.
And when Nathan got off work he surprised me with this pretty colorful bouquet. That was very sweet of him.
Lord God, blessed be Your name
for loaning me everything I'm able to enjoy.
