Contagious laughter

Chloe is so giggly lately - she just loves to laugh and I'll do whatever I can to hear it...

big girl

Chloe is now eating solid food and what does every girl need when she eats? A nice comfortable chair to sit on of course! Do you think Chloe likes her new high chair??

Getting the giggles

One of our favorite games...

waking up

Good morning... where's that smile??

What is it with kids and beer bottles??

Chloe is obsessed with beer bottles!



or maybe it's what's inside the bottle???

The girls at play

After the beach we went back to the Soles' for some play time

The tide is high...

Chloe had her first real experience with sand when we went to Spanish Banks for the afternoon.

More Jolly Jumping

"a camping we shall go.."

Chloe really wanted to get out camping again, so how could we say no? We took her and her cousin Nate up to Paradise Valley just outside Squamish for the weekend. The weather wasn't all that cooperative, but we made the best of it. Thank goodness we had the trailer!!

We're going to the ZOO

We decided to take the cousins to the Zoo to see the animals. Nate was very excited, he held the zoo map and told us where he wanted to go...



Look, a giraffe and zebras!



and the hippos!

Good thing Chloe was FREE!
