Holiday weekend and sunny weather, we headed to Marymoor Park - the Disneyland of dog parks! Meryl loved the water stops just as much as Lummi.

We neglected to bring extra clothes for Meryl after the dog park. Luckily, showing up to the Fetcheros without pants is totally acceptable!

Meryl ‘finally’ got a hair cut! And, got to see her stylin’ bob from the back with a mirror just like us!

 I skipped out to meet with girlfriends tonight, while Frank and Meryl headed out to satisfy their latest gluten craving - pasta!

Meryl has emerged into imaginative play! Lately, she’s enjoyed playing the role of ‘Lummi,’ letting us walk her around and feed her treats.

Meryl treats us all the same! Wouldn’t know it from the picture that she enjoyed the Mother Daughter Brunch!

  Frank just bought a deep fryer...for the back yard:) He’s determined to make chicken nuggets that rival the Golden Arches, swaying Meryl into the kitchen instead of the drive-thru. But first, doughnuts!

 Kagnar stopped by for an afternoon visit on Sunday and stayed for dinner! Lucky all of us because it’s been a while!

Lummi and I had to walk up to the market for Devonshire cream, and to the bakery on the way home for scones this morning. Royal wedding!

 If only her parents could get her a haircut.

Meryl and I stopped by Ken’s Market to grab some chips on the way home, and ran into our neighbors buying mashed potatoes and a bottle of sparkling for their night in the sun. We ‘had’ to try them! Who knew?

Let’s just say that it takes ‘a lot’ of encouraging to get Meryl to put things away. Practice makes perfect?
