My Perfect Mother's Day

I don't think I can explain clear enough on how perfect is today. I guess both Richard and Kai Kai wants me to have a great time today as a gift for Mother's day. Just as I requested, we went to VanDusen to relax and to take family pictures. Look at our picture, it's so perfect! I couldn't be happier with the result ...

So instead of writing a long posting, I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. Isn't that there is saying " A picture speaks a thousand words " ?




Those geese looks so cute aren't they? Well... they weren't that cute a minute before I took this photo. I was trying to reach Kai Kai and I have to walk near those geese. I just took a step closer and the biggest goose hissed and chased me away!!! That was pretty funny ... So I have to max my camera's zoom to take this picture.





I love the composition of this photo below:





























After walking for 2 hours in the park, we went to one of our favorite restaurant, The Shaughnessy Restaurant that located at the entrance of VanDusen Botanical Garden to have lunch. Since today is Mother's Day, they only serve a special package meal. For one price you decide what kind of appetizer, main course, and drink you want.

Above: Our server brought the wrong order for me and as absent minded as I am, I just took 2 bites of this dish without even realizing that they are not my salmon. I don't quiet remember what this one is, but it's chicken.

Above: "Macadamia Crusted Salmon, sweet potatoes with crabmeat, and cucumber salad"... this may not the real name of this dish, but this dish is absolutely the best one today, and like usual, it's always my order that is the most delicious one.



Above: "Lamb on a pastry with mint cucumber salad and glazed baby carrots" ... I order this dish for Richard because he loves lamb or goat meats.



Above: Kai Kai is enjoying his gourmet grill cheese sandwich that I special order for him.
