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.

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Riding Together for the First Time

Today my bike was finally fixed, so I picked it up from the shop before picking Zoe up from Science Club. When she saw my bike she was very excited to go for a ride. It was overcast all day, but the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening, so we rushed home, she finished all her homework, and I loaded her bike onto the car. I packed a bag with some water and a couple snacks and we made our way to Lorimer Park. Before we took off down the trail, I wanted to take a selfie, but I was so excited that I forgot my helmet, so there are two selfies. As soon as I finished the picture she took off down the path. Fortunately I was able to catch up, phone in hand, to take a few pictures as we cruised down the trail. I am a mostly competent bike rider, but trying to pay attention to her, and the trail, and keep myself upright while holding my phone was tricky. So, I decided to take some video where, for the most part, I could rest my hand on the handlebars. She is so good a...

Visit from Nana and Poppy

To make sure she didn't forget about her parent's birthday's, Cheryl gave them their presents on the day of the baby shower. For her father, she got a nice webcam so that we could Skype with them to interact with Zoe. A few weeks ago we had done that for the first time and it actually worked out really well. So on Monday, April 2nd, Cheryl's parents came up from Florida to meet Zoe face to face for the first time. On one day Cheryl and Zoe went to Clark Park with Nana and Poppy. Later in the week Cheryl's sister Debbie came by with her daughters, Zoe's cousins, Ashlee and Taylor. Just before they left, Cheryl remembered to take a picture. Here's Zoe with her cousin Taylor. As always, you can find all of these pictures and more in Zoe's Set on Flickr.
