Lilly's Third Birthday

All three of us were able to head up to Bounce U to celebrate Lilly's Third Birthday. Even though we had Zoe's birthday there earlier this year, it was really cool to see that they changed things around and some of the rooms had different inflatable things to play on. Of course, they still had the old reliable, like the giant slides.

But one of the new things that they had this time around was something called Daredevil Island. It was essentially a miniature version of the giant air beds that movie stunt folks jump onto from high up. Zoe wanted to do it so bad, but didn't have the courage to jump. Luckily, I had the courage to throw her.

She was very brave and did it at least 3 times. I was terrified every time I had to jump down after her. Here is a short video clip of her being thrown.

They also had air hockey, which she had played once before with me when we were down the beach. It was the single longest game in history, unfortunately Guinness wasn't there to capture the record.

Once all the bouncing was done there were still plenty of games, including a dance party complete with freezing when the lights came on. Overall, Zoe had a great time.

We hope that Lilly had a happy birthday and we can't wait to get together again.

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...

Baby Shower

Today the family was headed to George and Amanda's baby shower. Before we even got ready, I was playing with Zoe in bed. She was just sitting on my stomach, staring at her feet and drooling. Here are a few pictures. After play time, we had to get ready to head out. Zoe wore a nice dress, even if it was a little big on her. I took a picture of her in it before we left, then a bunch more of her while we were outside. Take a look and Zoe and Cheryl together. They're so cute! Those two are so gorgeous on their own that they become simply stunning when put together. I just can't get enough. Anyway, if you take a look at all of these, and more, in Zoe's set on Flickr, you can see all of the detail in the drool. It's really quite amazing.
