"The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and the earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods."
Whoever came up with the idea of Mother's Day is genius! What a delightful day...
The day began with Mark getting up with Gulliver while I had a nice chat with my own mom followed by reading in bed. After breakfast and playing downstairs for awhile, Gulliver came up and bounced around in bed with me. Always a fun activity! Mark put G. down for his morning nap, then made a delicious breakfast of corned beef hash and eggs for the two of us. And sometime before breakfast, he also emptied the dishwasher and folded the laundry. Now that's a Mother's Day treat! Thanks, Sweetie! :)
We spent the afternoon taking a hike in a new location... the Dillon Pinnacles trail, west of Gunnison above the Blue Mesa Reservoir. It was the perfect length and intensity. Two miles in and two miles back out, took just under two hours. Gulliver rode in the backpack the entire time. The girls got to participate as well. It was a beautiful bluebird sky day, in the high 60's and breezy. We all wore plenty of sunscreen. Gulliver left his hat on for the whole walk (except when it blew off a couple times).

Perhaps our best self-photo yet, somewhere along the trail:
After the hike, Gulliver explores on his own two legs:
Oh, that would be mom's back sweat covering his frontside. And the scratch on is face is fresh... fell on one of his trucks this morning.
The day isn't over yet... Mark is grilling dinner. Pork filets that we received from the Gerardi's at Christmas (yea, it's finally grilling season!) along with grilled veggies.
Happy Mother's Day!!!
