When I took this photo instead of saying cheese Elijah said "skillful egg painting"
"Mom! The Easter bunny must have gone to Shoppers Drug Mart!!"
-Easter eggs and fish eggs all in the same day-
"mmmm....smells like nectar"
-Elijah felt compelled to join a fellow cyclist for a little lay down-
We had a glorious Easter Sunday! Elijah rode his bike from Arbutus and Broadway all the way to Granville Island...not without stopping to smell the flowers on the way. En-route was a pink kite flying festivity and we all happily joined in. After a long day of excitement the kids both fell asleep on the way to dinner, so Dan and I took the liberty to eat a beautiful meal at a swanky restaurant. Okay so the kids ended up eating cold spaghetti and carrot sticks on the bus ride home, but everyone was happy...that's the important part right?
I woke up to some yummy homemade granola and the most beautiful splatter paintings that Elijah and Gavin painted for me. Then we quickly loaded up our stroller and took a long jaunt on the bus to the ferry and made our way over to Bowen Island. We had a delightful picnic and as we were eating so many families of geese swam by- all with their new fuzzy babies of various sizes - so fitting for mothers day. We went on a beautiful hike and played in the most amazing trees. After we made our way back to the beach and enjoyed a delightful portabello mushroom, goat cheese pizza with fresh arugula for dinner. It was such a glorious day, I love that this is where I spent my first mothers day with Elijah that made it even more special. I love you boys.
