Yesterday I met my mom, sister and brother, and their families, out at Fort Qu’Appelle to celebrate Mother’s Day. My grandmother’s favourite restaurant was KFC and we’d go for dinner every Mother’s Day. If the weather’s nice, like it was yesterday, we’ll take our food and eat at the park next to the lake, then the adults sit and visit while the kids play. After my grandmother passed away, there was some suggestion of changing locales or doing something different, but I didn’t like that idea at all (read: I cried and sulked like a spoiled two-year old). My family doesn’t have a tonne of traditions, but I’m very attached to the ones we have.
I took my camera, got a few shots of the kids on the beach and a couple passing birds, including the Red-winged Black bird above. All-in-all it was a great day, I hope yours was equally enjoyable.
