All Your Ice Cream Belong To Us
Photo-A-Day #1626

Dada had Eva for the day so he took Eva and (Uncle Mike) to Borders, Toys R Us and Dairy Queen. I had coupons and gift cards I needed to use so I wanted to go use them.

At Borders I picked up the book Career Renegade by Johnathan Fields. My Life Coach Kim Ann Curtin suggested this to me and since we are going to get started with sessions soon I figured now was as good a time as any to get started. So I picked up that book and also picked up a watercolor book for Eva. She did some water color painting at the Eric Carle museum and enjoyed it and so she picked out a TinkerBell book with the watercolors attached. It has been so long since I’ve done any watercolors.

We went to Toys R Us because I had a $10 gift card but I needed my Toys R Us credit card so I left the toy there and we continued to Dairy Queen.

I love taking Eva to Dairy Queen because it is fun to watch her eat ice cream. She barely touches it and it gets all over her. She was swapping my ice cream for hers over and over it was funny. Uncle Mike certainly had a laugh or two.

They're all mine!

Later on we went to my Uncle Rich’s place for a cook out. He even had a singer/guitar player there who was singing all the great soft rock hits. He was really good and my Uncle pretty much provided a nice sound for the neighborhood. We had a nice time and came on home.

Oh and this morning at church Eva’s timing was once again spot on. Fr. Gabriel (a priest we like and who Baptized Eva) was consecrating the host and we were kneeling. Suddenly Eva starts saying the prayer that we say for Grace before meals. The kid has great timing. After church we saw that Fr. Dave’s lawn had gotten “Flocked” It was covered in pink flamingos. We took Eva to check them out.

You've Been Flocked

And here is one of those weird but cool connections. Today I also worked on Kim Ann Curtin’s Website/Blog and on her Consulting Page I saw a testimonial from one Mr. Christopher Williams. Christopher is my inspiration behind the Photo-A-Day project. How small a world is that?

Flamingos at Roger Williams Park Zoo

Flamingos at Roger Williams Park Zoo
Photo-A-Day #1450

Today Allison and I took Eva to Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island. We made use of our new Zoo New England membership which got us free reciprocal admission to the zoo. Getting this membership was a great idea, there are so many zoos that we can go including Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo and our very own Capron Park Zoo.

I took a ton of photos at the zoo and uploaded them to Flickr, they have captions but no descriptions and they were not edited except for the photo above. That one was edited and cropped like I normally do my daily photo. I’ve been taking so many photos lately including all the ones from Last Night’s Speed of Thought Players Show. I really like the Sigma 70mm – 300mm with Macro lens. My 28mm – 70mm lens is tough, it is somehow loose and not making the connection.

Today Allison put Eva’s hair in little pony tails. She looked adorable. Here she is showing off the new ‘do.

Say Cheese!

It was so funny today because Eva has been walking around the house saying “animas” for like 3 days. So this morning when I picked her up out of bed that was the first thing she said. She knew that we were going to visit the zoo. We made the whole thing an event. We got Eva dressed up in her new clothes from Mimi, we took her to Dairy Queen (minus letting her have the cone to herself) and all the time we were at Dairy Queen Eva went back and forth saying “animas” and “cited!”. She was so ready. So drove to Roger Williams, about a 45 minute trip with traffic. Eva fell asleep. She was so out of it that when Allison took her out of the car and put her int he stroller she went and feel right back asleep. She woke up when we were in the Giraffe House. Allison and I were watching the baby giraffe and then looked down to see Eva sitting right up looking and pointing. She was so excited. She wasn’t kidding.
