Aren’t my ladies lovely? I am heading in Affiliate Summit East for the next couple of days and it is the first time I have done any independent travel since October. So before the big trip I wanted to do a nice day with the family. We headed over to Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island. Our Zoo New England family passes have paid for themselves 10 times over with the trips we have done this year. We had a wonderful morning at the zoo. We saw many of the animals. The snow leopards were hiding in the one spot that nobody could see them so I got no snow leopard shots. I’m going to have to go some day when it is not to hot and not too cold and just stake out the place, talk to all the zoo people I can and figure out the best times for photos.

Today was not about taking photos of the animals, it was for having fun with Allison and Eva. We both get such a kick out of the things that Eva says and how excited she is about the animals. I think she was most excited though about getting frog hand stamps at the Farm pavilion.

We came home for a short while and then headed to the Annual Wing off to raise money for the YMCA. I went last year when Allison was away on a trip with Eva. I noticed that some of the places had better wings last year but I still liked my old favorites and the ones that were awful last year were again awful this year. I’m not sure of the outcome but we had a good time. We sat at a table with some very nice couples with kids and some older couples. One of the young couples had a little boy who was almost a year old. He was smitten with Eva, I am in big trouble. Eva also enjoyed playing with him, and eating his chips.

After the wing competition we moved outside and Eva played while we listened to music. Then Eva did some dancing, which was very cute. She also wanted to play with my camera so I handed it over to her and she went to town. I took out all the ones where her fingers were over the lens but after that she got some cute ones. Here are more Eva Shots.

Well, I must finish packing. After putting all the stuff I need to give things away and to blog while I am at Affiliate Summit I’m hard pressed to find room for clothes. Yikes.

Some of the flowers at the house are on the way out.

Almost Ripe

Some of the vegetables at the house are on the way to becoming ripe and ready for the picking.

I’ve been getting ready for my trip down to New York for Affiliate Summit East. One thing that I decided to do and should prove to be very useful was read this post by my friend Heather in Beautiful British Columbia: Affiliate Summit East Tips for Virgins. I’ve been to many conferences over the years but Affiliate Summit is one I have never been to. I’m pretty sure I knew all the tips already but I read it just the same to see Heather’s insight as she is mistress of the blogger lounge! I’m already part of the Affiliate Summit Social Network so check me out there.

Another thing I took care of for Affiliate Summit East was getting some new business cards. Well, I ordered them on August 1st and they came in on Monday. Which is great because I had to pay $30 extra dollars for a rush delivery. But they came out great. Hit me up for one at the Meet Market or at the many fabulous Parties. You might even be lucky enough to win an xshot from me.
