For Mother's Day this year, we went to church in the morning, then headed out to Rob's parents' house for a wonderful ham dinner with his grandmas and grandpa. After that, we met up with my family at Casa Bonita for dinner. Being a Colorado native, I have so many fond memories of Casa Bonita as a kid, and now it's exciting to be forming new memories with our children. While Guadalajara in Parker wins hands down in a quality of the food contest, you can't beat the entertaining atmosphere and yummy sopapillas (Ashleigh's favorite part!) at Casa Bonita.

We also had a Family Fun Day picnic with our new Homeschoolers group on Saturday and the games included relay races, three-legged races, obstacle course, a playground right next to us, and water balloon toss and watermelon seed spitting contest (which Ashleigh was too young to participate in, just yet). While I just joined the group in May for their last meeting before the summer break, I'm looking forward to getting to know the other moms better in the fall and learning all I can about homeschooling from these God-centered women.
