It's been awhile since we found the time to post new pictures, but here's a sample of all of the crazy things Zola's been doing. I've got to post more often because she's changing fast.
In April, we made several trips down to DC to see Jana's parents as they finished up their mission at the LDS Washington DC Visitors Center. We were especially lucky to spend a little time with the Cardons - Jana's sister and her family.
Zach takes care of Zola like a good cousin should.
We went with the Cardons to Baltimore, to see an Orioles game at Camden Yards
We also took advantage of Grandpa's extensive knowledge of the backwoods trails around their apartment. Who knew of all of the cool stuff around town?
A vista of what Grandpa called "the Grand Canyon."
"The Pagoda"
And, most mysteriously, "The Leprechaun House."
And we can't forget about the great little park next door.
Grandpa and Dirk share the same birthday, although Grandpa had it first. Jana made this awesome cake for us to celebrate. Seriously, it was amazing (and tasty). We're going to miss having Jana's folks within driving distance.
Not to be outdone, Dirk's parents made the trek out to State College to visit Zola.
Of course, no trip to central PA is complete without a visit to Hershey. Zola has a thing for Hershey's chocolate milkshakes. So does the monkey on her back. Mimi was kind enough to share.
But before you get the wrong overall impression, you should know that Zola has a lot of troublemaker in her as well (she gets this from her mommy). This is the timeout chair. Zola spends a lot of time here. Here she is looking sufficiently penitent.
Last week, Zola enjoyed her first ice cream cone at the house of a friend. She ate it like a pro.
A new twist on bath-time.
This is where Zola does most of her heavy reading.
Adorable, aren't they?
