Mother's Day

Mason had a great idea for Mother's Day.  She decided to take Desiray to the Zoo!  I thought it was a great gift.  We got there around noon and did not leave until 5 pm.  It was a long 5 hour day but we all had a great time.  It was Mason's first trip to the zoo.  She decided she was Dora, I was Diego and Desiray was Alysia.  We were going to save the animals!  Mason saw things she has never seen before, played on the zoo playground, rode a train, and rode the carousel.

Mason got to ride a Horse!!!

When your a Princess and can't turn the toad into a Prince... The Princess can just turn into a toad and join him!!!!

I did see a couple of Monkeys in the tree which I had never seen before!

Must be a rare breed!

Mason was very patient and got to feed a bird some nectar.  Later he landed on her arm!

This is the guy she made friends with!!

This is the guy that Mason did not show a lot of interest in making friends with.  In fact she did not seem to have much faith in the thick glass.  I told her there was no need to worry ... I told her Daddy could easily take him if he came through the glass!

She did warm up with one who did not seem much of a threat and took her picture... so long as Mommy was close by!

After hanging out with Mason for 5 hours, the kid in me came out and I began poking my nose in places I probably shouldn't have, or is that my whole head?

And after 5 hours, Mason had given up on walking, wouldn't ride in her stroller, her mother had carried her much of the day, Mason was tired, hungry and whining!  She resorted to riding on her mothers back as seen above.  She really had chapped Desiray's ... (I'll let the picture do the talking!!!)

By the end of the day, everyone was wore out!!!

Yet it was so much fun, some fell asleep with a grin on their face!

Desiray, Mason and I decided to take our own little siesta!  I keep asking Desiray to shave,

 but as you can see, she doesn't pay me much attention!!

That pretty much wraps up our Mother's Day Extravaganza!  We finished it off with a little Cheesecake Factory!  Mason slept through dinner.  When we walked out the door, she woke up and said... "I'm Hungry"!  

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers!  Desiray wanted to give a special Happy Mother's Day wish to her sister Raven who had her first!!!

Later gang,
