June Fete Fair 2018

Close to our house the June Fete Fair was going on. We went last year and Zoe had a lot of fun, so we decided to go again. This time we invited Zoe's cousins to come along. Henry was able to make it and the two of them enjoyed going on a lot of the rides. First they went on the big slide and the dragon roller coaster.

After those more tame rides, the two decided to go on the hang gliders. Now this seemed like a legit ride, but I don't think any of us realized just how high they would go. It must have felt like they were really flying.

One of the last rides that Zoe went on was even crazier than that. It was called the Typhoon and it was a ride where a bunch of people are in seats on a platform, and that platform goes around in a circle, high in the air. I'm fairly certain this one was taller than the hang gliders.

The fair was a lot of fun and Zoe has become much more brave when it comes to rides. I can't wait to see what she does when we get to the beach. If you'd like to see more pictures, you can check out the album on Flickr to see some other shots of those rides.

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.
