First Trip to DisneyLand

Waiting, waiting, waiting for the park to open...no idea what's in store at this point.

Not as fun as some other stuff but she's wired now. No walls to climb so why not a pole?


Thanks for being my stunt double on this one! I get queasy just thinking about getting in this ride.

Eyore!!

I HATE THIS GIRLIE RIDE!!!

Hmmm, it really is a small world after all. Pretty deep.

Our "fearless" Disneyland guides! Thanks Becky and Bill! Even Vince admitted to having a good time!

Yeah, been there & done that. I'm not tired at all.

Me neither!

Dude! That was totally awesome!!


GONE, gone, gone...


Below is a zillion pictures of Zoey on the Carousel. Definitely the favorite ride. I think we went on about 8 times.

Trip to Wisconsin...the second installment

OK, now that I finally got my camera back there's a few more pictures...


If you look closely (picture on left) you can see a baby running on a trail in what should be her natural habitat.


First time on the boat with Uncle Kevin.


Hmmm, just woke up from a long nap and I feel like posing. Love the hair! had to get that on film!



Huh? I'm sorry, did you say something about Elmo?



Weee...you can't see but we were actually on the little train that goes in a small loop in Marathon County Park. It had been Kristin's childhood dream to ride this train! Zoey agreed to help make this dream a reality for Aunt Kris.


First ride on a carousel horse.

18 Months Old and a Trip to Wisconsin!

Well, if I had my camera, there are a bunch more photos to post but Uncle Kevin was too busy buying a boat, spraining his ankle, starting another semester of Law School and working to drop off the box at UPS. Oh, I guess I coulda mentioned to him that UPS would pick up the box at his house. So, I guess I'll have a follow up post soon.


I hosted a huge baby shower here..."Aunt B" was babysitting and took some great pictures. Thanks!




The cabin...when looking at photos after the trip, Zoey dubbed it "home". It was a great place...excellent job Kev and Kris. Can't wait for the next trip.


Is someone is in need of relaxation? Or some strong medication??





That's not just some old lump of used towels...that's Zoey on her 3-hour nap while Skipper Kevin took us on a 3-hour tour.


Fun in the boat...on one of our two mildly warm days.


Kaptain Kevin on another tour.


Hmmm, not so sure about this. Nope, (or "note" as Zoey says it) definitely NOT liking the ride on the Tube...I was totally surprised.


With Mammaw Cheryl

Did I mention these two are finally getting married in July? Those are some very special pictures, huh? I'm glad Kristin will finally make an honest man of Kevin!


Mom & Kevin...I meant to get a good picture of all of us but forgot.



On the way back to Kevin & Kristin's house we stopped at a great zoo. Zoey got to feed deer, goats, turtles, rabbits...

VLOG

Does this work? It'll be so cool if it does so you won't all have to log in to You Tube for every new video.

NOT ABOUT ZOEY!!!

This post (because of self consciousness) may not stay posted for too long and I WILL NOT advertise it like I do new Zoey posts so, hmmm. Don't know where I was going with that but...I guess if you are here and actually reading my Blah-Blah-Blog then it was meant to be.

OK, I'm feeling a serious loss of identity so I just wanted to post some pictures of the ME before Z!

To quote a great movie line: "I coulda been a contender. I coulda had class, real class..." because once upon a time, Lisa had a life and an identity beyond the all-consuming (yet loveable and adorable) Zoey.

It took a lot of time to get these photos together but it was a necessary (and not yet finished) catharsis for me. I guess, deep down, I've been resisting the necessity of accepting that this (motherhood) IS permanent and I may never get those parts of me back. Like mouring my own death almost (of the old me as I knew me).
