Echo Park

Bridget and Chloe

Chloe with Joe's Trucks

So Chloe and I headed to Vermont this winter to spend some time with Reyna and the kids while there were on a winter break. We had a great time. Chloe got to go ice skating, they wouldn't let her on the ice with just her shoes and the smallest skates they had were over double her size but that didn't stop us, we laced her into those puppies and got her out there. Her Aunt Reyna did most of the work and Chloe was demanding, she wasn't happy unless Reyna was going fast :0.

Chloe also got her first exposure to the snow, while she wasn't a fan of being bundled up she did seem to like playing in the snow. Not sure how much she liked the cold thing but, she isn't really used to that level of cold. At the top of the page you can see her playing in the snow with some of Joe's trucks, that was by far her favorite thing to do outside. The other picture is of Bridget giving her a ride on the sled. The other pictures are of Chloe and her cousins at Echo Park, where they got to play with a Water Table go on a Archaeological Dig and see a bunch of animals. Chloe made a point to wave and say Hi to as many of the animals as she could. It was really cute. Overall we had such a great time and Chloe just had a ball with her cousins. Bridget is awesome with her, she was constantly watching out for her and helping her with different tasks, it was great to watch. The three kids at night were hilarious in the bathtub for some reason Chloe thought it was hilarious to put her face in the water and then she stood up and yelled dance and of course her cousins obliged her with a good dance, it was hysterical, not sure where she gets her moves but she can booogy down with the best of them. I think Reyna and I had the best time watching the three of them.

Pensacola

At the beginning of February Chloe and I got to head over to Pensacola and visit the Brachers. Somehow I failed to get a picture of them with Chloe but, I can say that we had a great time. On a walk down to the beach we even saw a snake, thankfully a nice man willingly threw him off the trail for us. Sunday afternoon Mrs B, Chloe and I headed down to the park that Mr and Mrs B helped build and let Chloe have some fun playing on all of the equipment. The visit was too short but we will be back. On our way home we had a one day excursion to New Orleans where we met Doug and there too we had a great time. Chloe was a real sport about the crazy route home.
