First Time Snowtubing

Over the weekend, we all packed in to the car and headed north to Blue Mountain to do some snowtubing. Zoe has never been, and Cheryl was incredibly scared the one time the two of us went, so I was cautiously optimistic that we would all have a good time. Bundled in our layers, we made our way to grab a family tube and head up the hill.

We eventually made our way down the mountain and, I'm just not sure Zoe really enjoyed herself. What do you think?

I was also able to take some video of a couple trips down the hill. Again, I'm still on the fence as to whether or not Zoe really enjoyed it. Do you think she had any fun?

After a number of runs down the hill in the family tube, we decided to make our way over to the single tubes. I'm not certain that the hill was bigger on the individual tube side, but it certainly seemed that way the first time I went down. And our big girl went down all by herself!

Overall, the day was a huge success. Everyone had a great time, even if Zoe got a little scared after her first solo run down the hill. That being said, after we were done, grabbed some food and had a bathroom break, she was excited to come back and do it all over 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...

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.
