Your family can choose to spend the day at the zoo and bring along a nice lunch for everyone to share. There are many picnic tables to sit down and rest and eat your lunch with your family. Take a free train ride with the family and tour the zoo after you are finished with your lunch. If you have toddlers and preschoolers, you can rent a double stroller or bring your own if your little ones are getting tired. Going to the Zoo is always fun for the whole family. Don’t forget to bring your camera so you can get some good pictures of the family and of mom for your family picture book. Pictures make the best memories.
You can also decide to go to the Museum if the day is kind of rainy out.

In addition, don’t forget the camera again. Many families have great phones that are able to take lifelong memory photos and you can print these photos out at any photo store or send them into companies online that offer free photos for a membership.
If you decide you want a quiet Mother’s day with just your children, eat a healthy breakfast and take the kids to a park for the day. Pack a nice lunch and grab a few kites for the kids and find the lagoon so the little ones can feed the ducks. Give Mom a treat and let her relax and enjoy the day why dad helps the kids fly the kites and bring popcorn along for the ducks. This is another occasion for your family to have a camera on hand. These are good memories and the pictures alone will make good memories of how the family has changed throughout the years.
