Family time

This Sunday Brian and I decided that since it was such a beautiful day we would take the kids to the Botanic Gardens.  Once we started walking around Ewan declared that he wanted to go over to the bell tower, so that is what we did.  We walked over to Evening island and sat on the grassy hill that was covered with crocuses and ate our picnic lunch. The kids were wondering around and when Anwen would go too far he would go and kindly take her hand and lead her back to our picnic spot.  For once I actually had my camera so of course I was snapping shots of my children getting along and looking so cute.  At one point they were walking hand in hand and I thought what a great picture, maybe even the Christmas card picture, so I started snapping shots.  This first picture was what I saw when I had the thought about the Christmas picture.  This second picture is actually more reflective of my every day life with the kids, Ewan in the midst of pushing Anwen to the ground.At least I was able to get a glimpse of what it might be like to have angelic children that always get along.  I guess kids will be kids, and we did have a very wonderful time at the gardens despite the little pushing event.
