Saturday we slept-in and cleaned house. Doesn't seem that glamourous but for us it was great. We took the dogs to a "Dog and Me" ice cream social and let me tell you that was an ordeal. We arrive at this indoor dog park/training facility and Phil goes nuts! He is so excited he is barking and jumping on everything. As soon as we enter the place we quickly realize our dogs are the only ones not trained to a T. Yikes.
We go in and get our ice cream sundaes and the boys their Frosty Paws ice cream with dog biscuits. It was really cute. They loved it! Then comes the embarrassing parts...Malcom was marking everything and constantly hiking his leg. I followed him around and cleaned up after him. The problem with this was that the woman in charge was disturbingly harsh and stern about potty accidents in the building. Which to me is so weird because THEY ARE DOGS. Anyway, we all go outside for a potty break before they can go play in the indoor dog park. Once we're inside they boys are running around playing with the other dogs and not a minute later I look over and Malcom is going poop on the turf. Ah crap! So I pick him up mid-poo and run outside telling Alex to clean it up before anyone sees. By the time Malcom finishes and we go back inside, Phil has done the same thing!! Mortifying! It was like that scene in Marlee and Me when he goes on the dog beach and ruins it for everyone. People were yelling "get your dog!!" Needless to say we left quickly after and we will NOT be going back! Alex and I laughed the entire way home. Here is a quick shot of our ice cream treats:
That night we went to dinner with Kaitlin and Brandon at the Rainbow Lodge for restaurant week here in Houston. The place is really cool and they serve all kinds of game like rabbit, duck, venison, etc. Pretty good meal if you ask me!
Sunday John and Jennifer invited us to the Astros game again! Why not? Jennifer is the Director of Marketing for the Houston Texans and when Bob McNair doesn't use his Astros tickets he gives them to his staff...
It was interesting to see how the fabulously wealthy live. The tickets were in the Diamond Club 5 rows behind home plate. When you walk in, there is a dining area with a buffet filled with gourmet food and ballpark staples (all included with the tickets). We devoured all kinds of food and then took our seats. Such a great view! The seats were nice and cushy and we had a waiter that would bring us drinks and food! So much fun! Thanks again to Jennifer for inviting us! Here is what our view looked like:
On another note yesterday was Malcom's 3rd birthday! I can't believe I've already had him that long! And we think Phil might be mildly handicapped...
