At the end of May, Zachary and Zoe went to Florida with Mama (and no Daddy). They were great travelers and had a lot of fun catching up with GG and Zadie and enjoying summer fun. It was so good to spend time with Zadie now that he is feeling better. He even babysat while Mama and GG went shopping.
Zachary and GG were swimming buddies, although Zachary also could swim by himself (stay tuned for a video of him swimming).
Zadie is feeling much better these days and came to the pool with us. Zoe was especially smitten with her Zadie and sat with him by the hot tub.
GG helped the kids swim which was lots of fun, and we think she had fun too!
Here is Zachary swimming all by himself, it made Mama very proud and also thinking a lot about swimming lessons.
Zachary is pretty good at GG's computer games, and Zoe wishes she was too.
So GG and Mama took the kids to a local park and discovered that it had a ground fountain. The kids couldn't wait to get in there as they saw all the other kids cooling off and having fun. However, Mama who is always prepared, didn't have baithing suits, so the kids went in their clothes and perhaps that made it even more fun!
Zadie and his girlfriend having a snuggle in the comfy chair.
Zoe loves to climb into the toybox and somewhere there is a similar picture of her mother like this at this age.

Where is my lunch!
Zoe is sporting a ponytail which she really hasn't let us do for her until this day ... and it lasted quite long - at least into morning snack at Daycare. Zoe has adjusted well to her 3 days at daycare, however Mama has found it hard to be without her. Zachary has started Camp Gan Israel and he loves it. He is wearing last years camp shirt as he wasn't thrilled with this years orange one.
Daddy took the kids to the Beardsley Zoo during the week Zachary had no school or camp. It was his first time, so the kids had to show him the way. They had fun and Daddy took lots of snapshots of them, but here are just a couple. Sweet shot of Zman hanging out, and Zoe saying hello to a pig (she will talk to anything these days).
Last sunday, Zachary and Mama went to make challah together at a Mom and Tot challah baking class. Meanwhile Daddy and Zoe had some quality dad/daughter time at a new park. And the best part was they had animals. Zoe made friends with a pony, someday we figure she will be asking for her own pony.
Here is the challah cover Zachary made at the challah baking class. He did great measuring, kneeding the dough, and also braiding th challot. It was fun for both of us. And we are quite proud of the challot that grace our Shabbat table. 
Grammy Ellen and Grandpa Stan came for a visit during the week Zachary was home. They bought the kids a tunnel which was a HUGE hit. Check out these fun times we had. Zachary liked to stand in the tunnel.
Here is a sweet shot of Zachary doing his favorite outdoor activity ... SWINGING!
A couple of pics of Grammy Ellen and the kids snuggling on the big red couch.
Check out Zoe's face and shirt here, she was covered in strawberry, unlike her brother who manages to eat an entire berry in one bite!
