Sea Isle City - Take 1

Cheryl and I took two weeks of vacation this year, not back to back, and are spending both of them down in Sea Isle City. Gigi has a house down by the beach and since it was one of the places I vacationed as a child, I am super excited to share that with Zoe. The first thing we did when we got there was go to the beach. Zoe really enjoyed the water initially, which was great because it was warm, but got a little skittish over the week.

When you are trying to cool off at the beach, there are no shortage of treats available. Zoe made sure to find these soon. She had a Sponge Bob pop and ice cream, among others.

Zoe was also super cute digging in the sand. She won the prize for Diaper Most Likely to Sag Right Off Your Keister.

We took one day to drive down to the Cape May County Zoo. It is a free zoo with a lot of nice space and some great animals. Zoe wasn't too happy to pose for many pictures, but we did snap a few.

We also took a day to drive down to Wildwood to enjoy the boardwalk. All of the rides, games, arcades and prizes were a bit overwhelming for Zoe. By the end of the day she was fine, but it took a while for her to understand that no, she couldn't have everything that she saw. Along with all of the prizes she did get, she also loved the rides.

It was a great week that was full of fun and sun. We can't wait to go back for another week. Be sure to check out the set on Flickr to see the rest of the pictures from that week, like this one.

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.
