What a fabulous birthday weekend for Lovey! On Saturday morning he had a soccer game, in the rain. Littlebit and I went home, but Grandpa, Grandma and Daddy stayed to watch and the sky did clear up for awhile. Then Nana and Scott arrived with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma. It was so nice to see them and they brought us treats too (grapefruit - I'm never sure how to spell that word, rhubarb, and rhubarb plants).
We had a great lunch of Mariner dogs, hamburgers, parsnip and potato fries, and asparagus. When I said we were having hot dogs, a few people said they wanted hamburgers instead, but I think everyone ended up sampling the Mariner dogs. Our meal was finished off with a Dinosaur Train Cake and Trader Joe's French Vanilla ice cream. (I almost forgot the ice cream, but thankfully TJ's was sampling ice cream and blueberry pie the day I went shopping!)
Lovey was excited to open all of his presents. Dinosaur books, Frog and Toad books, a baseball mitt and nerf-like baseballs (which we promptly lost 2 of the next day over the fence into the neighbor's yard and she won't answer her door, even though I know she was home because I saw her), a wooden airplane to build, Mariner t-shirt, pjs and other clothes, a poster that he spied at Nana's work (this makes poster #5 in the last month!), a caribiner mug for hiking/camping, and an emergency blanket. Littlebit had the job of bringing him the presents and I think she only opened one. He also cleaned up the paper after opening each gift. He was concerned that he opened all of his gifts and wouldn't have any for his birthday, but I assured him we saved some.
Working on building a wooden airplane with Daddy.
*Edited: Yesterday we found the missing baseballs back over the fence and in our yard. I left a note when they didn't answer the door and they found them and threw them over the fence. Hooray!

LOVE the dino cake! Glad he had a great birthday weekend! Wish we could have been there to celebrate...one of these years!
And what are Mariner dogs?
I didn't know what Mariner dogs were either. They are a bratwurst/hot dog that is sold under the name Mariner or Seahawks dog in the deli at Top Foods/Haggens. It was actually quite tasty and I don't really care for hot dogs unless we are camping.
Yum. I like hot dogs every once in awhile. Sounds like they were a hit!
