Sunday is Funday!

BRUNCH

Good morning Bloggies!

What a jam packed day. Even though I had this post typed up last night, I wasn't able to send it until now because our internet went out at home. Let's get to the point. We had a lot planned for yesterday, it started bright and early at 8 A.M. Newton dropped Booger off to get his spring shaving. He went from looking like this:



to this:



I know I know, he looks so much cuter with his shag but he kept getting knots in his hair and it's beginning to get hot out so it's time. So sad...

After Boogs got his shag cut Jessie came over and joined us in taking advantage of the beautiful weather. The high was in the low 80s but with the light wind it was blissful. Newton, Maddy, and Booger went to the dog park while Jessie and I took a walk along the Rilito River. There was still evidence of our wet winter flowing so soothingly in the wash. It's the first time I'd been on this trail despite living only across the street from it.





Here are a few of the other pooches at the dog park. Booger had such a great time socializing and towards the end of our visit the park got really crowded so we got to see a lot of pretty pups.

This guy, Hoover, was Boog's favorite despite the size difference.

Boogs wasn't the only one getting a good workout.



After burning all our energy at the park, it was time to do some shopping and grab a light lunch before we had to head home and get ready for a friend's BBQ. We stopped at La Encantada. The view from upstairs was gorgeous. The terracotta colored walls against the blue sky was breathtaking. I ended up picking up a stainless steel spoon/straw at Crate&Barrel. I've been wanting one for the longest time. One step closer to a greener lifestyle. :)


For brunch I grabbed a salad from AJ's filled with bells, pepperchinis, cheese crumbles, onions, and grilled chicken with a champagne vinaigrette. MMmmmm. Jessie had her own Southwestern salad loaded with beans, jalapenos, eggs, and seeds while Newton and Maddy both had a slice of pizza. Lunch as light and relaxing as we sat on the patio watching passersby.



Someone loves ranch



By the time we were finished with lunch and shopping it was 3 P.M. and the BBQ was starting at 3:30. Needless to say we dashed home to get ready and I still had to beat up some whip cream to top the key lime cheesecake I made the day before. The cheesecake turned out great and so did the BBQ. Daniel did a great job with his backyard and an even better job marinating the ribs and chicken. Overall the day was productive and relaxing all the same. I only wish everyday was a sunday...I hope y'all had a great Funday as well! Here's to a new week! Sorry for the lack of pics from the BBQ, my camera batter was running looooowww.
