Fun In The Sun

Cheryl and I took a few days off this past weekend to visit with her parents down in Florida. We left early Thursday morning and Zoe was very well behaved on the flight. As soon as we got there we did some swimming, which was a constant every day. On Friday we packed into the car and went to the zoo. Zoe seemed to enjoy hanging out with the animals and she took some time to feed a giraffe. Unfortunately I didn't wait to pose properly, so the pictures of that aren't very good.



She also took two rides on the carousel.  Once on a stationary animal and then again on one that moved. I couldn't tell if she liked one more than the other, but once it got going, she seemed more happy than scared.



It was so hot out that as we were leaving, since we had a change of clothes for her, Cheryl took her for a dip in the fountain. It's hard to say which one of them enjoyed it more.



As I said, we went to the pool every day. The weather was great and as long as you stayed in the water, the love bugs wouldn't bother you. Zoe thoroughly enjoyed playing with her sand toys in the water.



Cheryl picked up some sidewalk chalk one day and we had a great time drawing on the driveway. Unfortunately, not all of the chalk made it to the cement.



It was a great time. Hopefully by the next visit Zoe will have some water wings and be kicking herself around the pool instead of climbing her father. You can see all of these and more in Zoe's set on Flickr.

Paris - Day Five: Louvre, More Gardens, Photobooths, Macaroons, Love

Today was scheduled to be a somewhat random day. We didn't have anything specific we were planning to do, meaning no pre-purchased tickets, but a number of stops to make and things to see. The first stop on our list for the day was a photobooth that was out near Moulin Rouge. It was in a giant, open gallery space where there were people dancing and vendors selling food. We found the booth and took a few pictures. Right near the booth there was an old trailer of some sort that was converted in to a little library. Since Zoe loves books, even if they're in a language she doesn't read, she went in and browsed the selection. She then said she'd like one of these for our house back home. We'll see what we can do. She didn't actually take the book with us, but she wanted to pose with it. At this point it was time to get something to eat, so we hopped on the Metro and took it to Cafe des 2 Moulins, the restaurant from the movie Amelie. The food was great, the...

Girls Night Out Dance

Zoe has her first dance at school, the Girls Night Out Dance, where she brought me as her date. It had been quite some time since I was at such a formal affair, but thankfully I was still able to squeeze in to my suit. Zoe looked as gorgeous as her mother with her fancy clothes, her makeup, and the big bow in her hair. We took a few pictures before we left for the dance, just to capture the moment. I drove us over to the school, and we arrived right on time, beating the crowd. A few of Zoe's friends were there, and before they turned the lights off, I took one, not-so-good, picture. It is nice to know that, as time goes by, some things never change. There was very little dancing for the two of us at the dance. She was very interested in the snacks (treats), the lights that were on the tables, but mostly in the pull up bar at the back of the gym. She spent a solid 15 minutes moving around gym mats so she could stand on them and hang from the bar. Other kids came and went,...

Big Girl Tubbie

This past weekend, Cheryl and I went away and left Zoe with Mimi and Joe Pop. Apparently everyone had a great time. We're super glad that Zoe got to spend so much time with her grandparents, we're incredibly thankful that they watched her for the long weekend, plus, we were just happy to get away by ourselves for the first time in 17 months. That being said, I have no pictures of Zoe from this past weekend (shame on you Mimi!) However, tonight Zoe took her first bath in the actual tub. Up until now, we have been bathing her in her little whale tub because, well, she still fit in it. I think she may like the big tub even better, but I'll let you decide that for yourself. There are a few more pictures, so be sure to check out Zoe's set on Flickr. I'm looking forward to more tubbing in the future. We'll see what the rest of the week has in store.
