An Ode to My Daddy!

Since yesterday was Father's Day, I thought I would take this moment to once again tell everyone how great my Daddy is and how happy I am that he is my Daddy. On Saturday morning my Daddy and I went on a Hawk Walk in the Inwood Hill Park. It was very early and quite muggy but we had tons of fun walking around looking for birds and enjoying each others company.Oh yeah, Mommy came to and took most of the pictures. Narnia anyone?
Just what every path in the woods needs, a sewer drain.My Daddy, aka the coolest, was the first one in our group to spot a Red-tailed Hawk. It was a fledgling that had ventured out of the nest and landed in a tree with lots of mean little birds. They all kept pecking at him, trying to get him out of their tree but the poor thing wouldn't leave. Finally, he flew away to another tree but most of the other birds followed him. I guess he's still learning how to be a bird of prey.This is how excited I was to sit and watch the hawk for a very, very, very long time. Man my Daddy likes birds!We also saw some interesting historical sites. This rock represents the spot where the Dutch traded beads to the Native Americans for the island of Manhattan. Of course, the Native Americans had no concept of land ownership and thought they were just exchanging pleasantries and being polite. They learned otherwise when the Dutch showed up the next year, chased them off their land and built a wall on Wall Street to keep them out. Not very polite if you ask me. My Daddy always tells me to share and play nice, too bad the Dutch didn't have a great Daddy like mine.Here are some rock caves that acted like a Holiday Inn for traveling Native Americans. Now they act as a Holiday Inn for some crazy homeless people. One guys says he's been living here for 30+ years. The government has mostly filled in the caves to deter the crazies but the tons of broken glass everywhere says they're not listening. Daddy helping me up to the caves and our tour guide.

I loved going on the Hawk Walk with my Daddy...and Mommy, and can't wait to go on more adventures with him in the future.

On Father's Day my Mommy made my Daddy a special Father's Day Feast and let me play with Daddy while she cooked. Too bad I didn't get a good nap after church and was kind of grumpy...sorry Daddy.

Note from Mommy: In case anyone is wondering why there is a bowl of water next to my plate, that is ice water for my left hand which got slightly burned during the making of the feast. She made homemade Spanish Bread, Apple Cider Pork Loin Chops and a Spring Vegetable Mix. I enjoyed the veggies, bread and potatoes but the pork was a little saucy for me.
Chocolate Mousse Cake, the perfect end to a perfect meal.

The other day I had on some cute overall shorts and Mommy thought she'd capture the cuteness for Daddy.

Also on Friday, Mommy decided in honor of Daddy to let me listen to the new Weezer Red Album so that I could learn to appreciate Daddy's favorite music like I appreciate Mommy's. Here's a little video of me dancing and flopping about the couch to the new tunes. Notice my cool new flip-flops too.

I know this was a long one but I just wanted to let my Daddy know how much I love him and enjoy spending time with him. Happy Belated Father's Day!
