Photo-A-Day #1248

Today Dan, Marcia, Allison, Eva and I went to the Palm Beach Zoo. We had a really nice day and were very happy that we had a family membership to Capron Park Zoo because with our card we got in for 1/2 price. It is so worth getting a zoo membership.

I took a ton of photos at the Zoo and won’t be posting them all here because I created a new Florida Flickr Set for all of my photos from Florida. There you can see the alligators, birds and monkeys that we saw at the zoo. Overall the Palm Beach Zoo was a really nice one. There were some exhibits that were tough for visitors to see the animals but other than that it was really nice. There were even presentations by animal trainers.

We spent the afternoon there and walked through all the exhibits. We even had lunch there at the Tropics Cafe. The food was pretty decent too. After lunch We put Eva in the stroller and she slept for the rest of our trip. She was wiped out too. I look forward to going back here when she is older so she can play in the Interactive Play Fountain and enjoy the Animal Contact Area.

After the zoo we made a trip to Target to pick up swim diapers for Eva and some groceries as well. Then it was back to the house so we could change and hit the pool. I took a few shots in the pool as well, with the underwater camera. Eva enjoyed the water very much and it is nice that we can bring her over to the water every day. We’ll have to blow up her water seat so she can float around too. I think we’ll spend some time there tomorrow and just relax.

Trying New Things

My Shelf

Eva is quite the adventurous kid. This little shot above reminds me of one famous shot (in my family) of me in the cupboards at my grandmother’s house. I took out all the pots and pans and climbed in. I will have to dig that photo out, I may even have a digital copy somewhere. Eva is with us on vacation in Florida. She discovered her grandparent’s rolling shelves and took the pots and pans off this shelf and climbed on up. Allison took the photo. I wish I was at the house when this happened.

Mmmm, PASTA!

Eva is also a very adventurous eater. She has not found a food that she does not like, not one. She is a fan of all foods. We take her with us to restaurants and now she wants to try a little from our plates at every meal. Tonight we had ziti and meatballs and Eva was all over it. At some point she even had a couple of them on her fingers. She does like her food. And we encourage her to try everything that we can. Although no sugar until the 1st birthday (I know I’m mean but that is only little over a month away.)

I’ll be updating this blog with Eva pictures throughout the vacation. I have some great products to review and can’t wait to share them with you. Stick around.
