Mother, May I?

May we let you exercise your Mother's Day perogative and allow you to take the family on a 4.6 mile hike just because it suits your fancy?


May we allow you to get directions off the internet which aren't entirely accurate and drive an twenty extra minutes because Dad won't stop for directions when we get lost?


May we bring a backpack next time? The Blue Bunny Hot/Cold bag got a little heavy after the first hour.

May we take lots of pictures with Erica's cool new camera?

May we walk ahead of you? Your short legs and middle-aged pace gives taking time to smell the roses a new meaning.

May we take a nap while we wait for you to catch up?

May we stand really near the edge at the top and make you nervous and keep you from enjoying the awesome view?


Since Wisconsin bugs love our insect repellent may we complain about all the bugs?

Back home, may we eat the ice cream cake you requested without gaining back all the weight we lost on the hike?

Mother, may I?
Yes, you may.
