Ahhhh Long Weekends! The first one of the season is always a crap shoot for how the weather the will be. Some years it's warm and beautiful and others it's cold and rainy and miserable.
This year we got super lucky with a gorgeous, warm and sun filled Victoria Day long weekend. They kept calling for rain but it held off until Monday evening! What better way for Mother Nature to make up for the crappy start we had to Spring.
Long weekends are always a favorite for everyone. Extra time with loved ones, that extra day at the beach or the cottage, time for BBQ's, friends, picnics and all those good things, but when the weather is perfect, there is nothing you can do but smile.
This weekend was the perfect example around here.
Friday started off cool and windy as the momstown mamas headed to the park for some butterfly art.
The kids played at the playground and then created beautiful butterflies by using coffee filters and bingo dabbers!
For my family, the afternoon and early evening was then spent shopping for plants for our garden and prepping for a weekend of cleaning while fitting in some play time with friends.
The true test of a fabulous and perfect long weekend is the fun that was had and the memories that were made. A day of backyard play, fun in the sprinkler, a BBQ with friends and finally fireworks, certainly made this May long weekend one huge success with my family.
Hopefully this is a preview to what the rest of the summer season holds in store for us!
