Mother's Day Weekend

It's Mother's Day weekend and the weather is glorious.  We waited to head to Sulphur until Friday morning because of potential storms on Thursday evening.  No point in driving in those!  When we arrived I saw that our rose bushes had popped and were beautiful.  I love these because you just can't kill them.

We enjoyed a quiet Friday in the park walking the dogs, baking and reading.  We headed into town for our date night and had Chinese at a nice little restaurant.  The place is very clean and the food is always good and you definitely cannot beat the price - $7.55 for adults for all you can eat and less than $2 for a beverage.  Wow.  I got tired of watching the Sonic ads for the 25 flavors of shakes so we stopped at Sonic for dessert and I ordered a Peanut Butter and Hot Fudge shake - yum.

 

Once home we started a campfire and John turned on his Pandora and ran it through our outdoor entertainment center on the RV and we listened to slow jazz which was awesome while enjoying the fire.  As you can see the girls enjoyed the hammock with Dad as well.  They are definitely Daddy's girls when he is around.

Saturday is another great day and we have avoided projects for the most part.  We took the girls down to the lake (Arbuckle) and walked around the shoreline.  April (the puppy) decided to wade into the water a bit and all of a sudden did her bounding thing that she does only she bounded deeper into the water instead of the shore and there she was swimming for her life to get out.  It was absolutely hilarious but I think it scarred her to death.  She didn't wade again the rest of the walk.  But she loved the shore -- digging and running.  Bailey was on a mission smelling all the smells she could take in along the waterline.  She loves to wade but isn't much interested in swimming.

We headed into the Chickasaw National Recrecreation Area to see if the buffalo were out in the viewing area but alas no luck and I brought my camera.  I found out the walking trail around their area is 1.9 miles and it circles 87 acres which amazed me.  I had no idea there were that many acres inside that trail.  No wonder they can hide all the time.  Anyway, they have four babies this year so I would really like to get photos of them before they get too big. 


Saturday afternoon I was able to get the hummingbirds in flight while laying on the hammock reading under one of our feeders.  They don't seem to be bothered when we are laying right under them.  So far I have only seen a total of two of them (upper right picture) and we typically have 4-5.  They are amazing birds.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOTHERS
