Halloween 2015

As mentioned previously, the family was dressed up as the characters from Wreck-It Ralph this year for Halloween. Zoe was Venelope Von Schweets, Cheryl was King Candy and I was Wreck-It Ralph. Before we went to the West Philly parade, we took some pictures on the stoop. Here are a few.



Apart from the scoreboard, which Zoe liked, she was also really into the necklace I made. She kept insisting that she made it because in the movie her character made it for my character. It was super cute. On the way to the parade I made sure Zoe was safe and held my hand. She didn't have much trouble grabbing onto my over-sized mitts.



While we were there we ran into a group of her friends dressed up as the Three Amigas. They all looked really good.



There were lots of treats at the conclusion of the parade. Zoe made sure to bring me some so I could share with her.



We parked the car near the end of the parade route because we were heading out to a Halloween wedding. Once we were outside the venue, on the wrong block, Zoe was happy to pose with me one more time for a couple of photos before heading in.



Zoe was pretty good during the ceremony. Of course, she doesn't like having her picture taken when binky is in.



Towards the end of the night there was some dancing going on. Zoe was pretty in to all of the music and doing a really good job of shaking her booty. Later in the evening she got hold of a cat o' nine tails and was having a great time whipping booty.



A good time was had by all, even if some folks had trouble sitting down the next day.

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...

Italy - Day 6 - Rome

Since this was our last full day in Rome, we decided to head towards Vatican City. After crossing a bridge, we made our way down the steps to follow the Tiber because Zoe wanted to explore closer to the water. Approaching the Vatican, we stopped just out of smoting range, for Cheryl's protection, before deciding that the view from the gates would suffice. From there we decided we would head out to try some very highly recommended pizza from Bonci. Zoe had to make a stop along the way for some gelato and a bathroom break, which was great because it took an hour to get our food. That being said, it was totally worth the wait! The pizza was amazing and the deep fried pasta balls were bizarre and delicious. While Cheryl was waiting, Zoe and I bought from fresh fruit and vegetables so that she would have something to eat. After a late lunch, we decided to make our way home. As we were about to cross the river, we passed Castle San Angelo and decided to make a stop. Thi...
