I told Billy and Liam, "No presents this year, please, just a fun day out together!". So glad they agreed!
I thought about going up to Natural Bridge State Park but noticed signs hanging in downtown Lexington for MayFest 2009. I checked it out online and it sounded like a lot of fun so after a beautiful mass at St. John's we decided to spend Mother's Day at MayFest in Gratz Park (which is near Transylvania University and is the oldest University east of the Allegheny Mountains).
What a lovely day! The perimeter streets were blocked off from thru traffic so it was the perfect setting for us all. Liam loved roaming the park, playing around the children's fountain (which was dedicated to the city's children as a gift from Lexington author James Lane Allen), and jumping in the bounce house over and over again. We also enjoyed a complimentary horse and carriage ride, a tour of the Hunt-Morgan House (which, believe it or not, was Liam's idea), and freshly popped kettle corn while listening to the live entertainment and strolling past the vendors. This could easily be a Mother's Day Tradition...thank you Liam and Billy for making today such a truly special Mother's Day!!!
As wonderful as the day was, we couldn't allow it to pass without thoughts of loving memories and appreciation of our own Mothers, Grandmothers, Godmothers and special women in our lives...Happy Mother's Day!!!

That is a perfect way to spend Mother's Day...spending the day together in a fun filled way with your child and husband. Starting the day off at Mass together helped to set the tone. It sounds like you all had sooooo much fun.
I enjoyed our visit to the park when we went out to lunch together. Liam really is "tempted" by that fountain! I enjoyed watching him as he skirted about and nearly "in" as well.
