Mother's Day 2013

This past weekend was Mother's Day.  Such a nice weekend.  Joe and Diane came over on Saturday afternoon so we could celebrate with Diane that day.  It rained for a brief period in the afternoon, just enough for Jazz to make a mess of everything.

It was temporary though and did not "dampen" the day.  Rowan went to a birthday party that afternoon and was apparently pooped when she got home, Joe made a comfy spot for her to catch a catnap.

Sunday we woke up leisurely and I got to open this years selection of Dollar Store and homemade gifts.  They get better every year :)

That afternoon we went to Tyler State Park for a 5 (!) mile hike.  It was a beautiful day and at the end we were exhausted, exhillerated and covered in ticks. (blech)  

Got rid of the ticks, all had showers, combed the dog out and then as a treat went to The Melting Pot for dinner so I did not have to cook.  Although, as it is a fondue restaurant I guess technically I did do the cooking after all!!
