Mothers Day Weekend

On Saturday morning, I kicked off the weekend by volunteering with my sister-in-law, Whitney and my friend, Morgan for the Humane Society. We helped walk some puppies in the Spirit of Mission Days parade. The picture to the right is of the wiener dog float that the Humane Society uses for parades. It takes about 10 people to walk this thing down the street and is quite a site. The parade was all of a half mile and the weather was perfect so it was easy work to be done!
On Saturday night, we ventured down to Comedy City in Westport with Whitney and Pat to watch the 10pm "adult improv act". The show was made up of six guys about 24-28 years old and was 100% improv as the audience helped create the story lines.
Overall, a funny show and Whit and Pat got to both try their first flea. What is a flea you ask? It's pretty much 1200 calories of goodness. Probably the biggest burger around, it's delicious greasy flavor and gynormous size make for a great food splurge that one must indulge in once and a while!

Sunday was a great Mothers Day with both sides of our family. We grilled out honey ginger salmon and corn around noon for my mother and then enjoyed some traditional card games. Later that evening, we enjoyed dinner and a movie (Star Trek) at the Fork and Screen with the Derek's side.

I ended up baking a small strawberry cake for each side of the family with a whipped vanilla frosting!

Thanks again mothers for being who you are and doing what you do. Your selfless caring and endless support helped mold us into who we are today. We love you both very much. Happy Mothers Day!
