Feliz Dia De Las Madres

Happy Mother's Day everyone. Last night Nana and Papa came over for a Daddy-prepared meal and Mother's Day celebration. Mommy and Nana spent most of the day in Lynnwood at the Olympus Women's Spa and they had a very relaxing time while I spent the afternoon being a knucklehead with Papa while Daddy got the meal rolling.

A round of martini's and gimlets to start alongside a selection of cheeses and Marcona almonds to start, another tasty reproduction of Daddy's mixed greens with thyme and rosemary coated goat cheese cakes, followed by some New York's from Whole Foods with a gorgonzola-walnut butter and minted tabbouleh, a crackin' bottle of Cab that Papa picked up, and a finish of chocolate mousse cups and you've got yourself one yummy Mother's Day Meal.

BTW, we celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday this year... M's Day on Saturday is the new black, yo. No more messing around with everybody and their mother trying to get brunch on Sunday.

Today was spent hanging out with Mommy while Daddy and Papa Jack headed to Echo Falls in Snohomish for yet another round of golf. I think Papa is trying his hardest to get his chops up for his annual face-off with the cobra at Potholes Golf during the Crooked Club Classic.

While the boys were away, the girls certainly played. Rumor had it that the carousel at the Woodland Park Zoo was finally open after a long winter hiatus. I tell ya what, I was so excited when we got to the zoo that I was literally shaking at the site of the open-for-business carousel. One trip around was not going to do it, so we saddled up for one more go 'round. I can't wait until next time.

While there we managed to see the new tiger cub after enduring a very short wait. The cub was sleeping and is so amazingly cute. We also checked out all of the big birds over in raptor land. The bald eagle was being harassed by a lowly crow and was none too pleased about it. A bit sad seeing this majestic bird tied down and unable to destroy the crow. That would be a show I'd pay to see.

Daddy rang on his way home to see if there was anything he could pick up for us. Mommy didn't feel like making dinner so she had Daddy get Red Mill. One chocolate shake and a few fries later, I was ready for business.
