Road trip

So we decided that since Brian never took any vacation days, we'd spend Friday creating some family memories: apple-picking with Chase and Zoe!

I had predicted that the bigger adventure would be having these two in the car together. They actually did much better in the car than they did at the orchard. You can tell Chase got all muddy by the knees of his jeans. Here are some car pix.

Chase reading his animal book which at the moment was more interesting than the live beast sitting beside him.

Looks like he's kicking Zoe but really he's grabbing her with his toes which he loves to do while making a high pitched squeel.

Out like a light.

Here is a video of what we heard the whole ride down in the car. Zoe is breathing loudly (as usual) and Chase is snoozing a way. The video was just shy of capturing Chase smiling as he heard Zoe's snorts in his dream. It was the cutest thing how he was asleep but smiled in his sleep when Zoe snorted in his face, almost like he was thinking "that's my snorty bully.........zzzzzzzz"



We headed for F'burg to visit "grandma," "grandpa" and aunty Catherine. We got to see Catherine all dolled up and I even got to help with makeup! And we got to meet Dillon, her date too. Doesn't she look stunning?!



Chase spent some quality time with grandpa & grandma and the dogs. Zoe didn't exactly get along with Kenna, the female Collie... maybe it's true that dogs are moody too when it's that time of the month! (Yep that's right; we have two in diapers!)

Brian and I were glad to get some time alone; we went on a "date." Yep, we actually walked around, ate lunch together w/o the kiddo! Here are some pix from our lunch at a really cute diner downtown F'burg.

aww, he thinks I'm sweet

you're pretty cute yourself!


On our way out of town, we watched Catherine's travel soccer game which was a really good match. I know she'd say she was disappointed at missing some shots, but I thought she played very aggressively. It reminded me of my soccer days (though I was never at the level Catherine is. Still it was fun! ) And of course Zoe was a hit! She drew many a fan at the soccer field.

Thanks Susan/Brian/Catherine for having us!!
