Fun Month So Far

Zoe and Ailsa napping in the tent while camping Canada Day weekend. 

 Zoe loves the spinning strawberries at the local parking lot fun fair.

 Ailsa holds on to our gigantic cotton candy stick.  Zoe remembered cotton candy from previous experiences and refused to open her mouth (she does not like anything too sweet).  Ailsa was very excited to try cotton candy for the first time.  Alison (in the picture) came along to give us an extra set of hands...I think she just wanted to play too :)

 Ailsa, Zoe and Gavin sitting on a boat at the Easter Seals Regatta.  This is one of Easter Seals biggest fund raisers- people who want to enter their boat have to raise money.  They ask cute Easter Seals kids (like Zoe) to show up and ride around on rich people's boats and then go to a BBQ.  It was a fun day and as you can see- Zoe loves being on the boat.

 This picture cracks me up because it is so similar to a picture we took two years ago of Ailsa at the Regatta.  She looks totally comfortable and at home on the water.

 This was Zoe's expression the entire trip.  Watching Zoe is very rewarding for donors because they get to see what a great time she is having.

This little girl with Ailsa is a sibling of a child with special needs who rides at Hippotherapy right before Zoe.  They hit it off and had a great time playing together all day.  We hope to get together soon for a play date.  The child with special needs is very similar to Zoe and they enjoy seeing each other too.  We hope this is a relationship we can build for Ailsa- having a friend who also has a sibling with special needs would be great for her.  Gavin and I also seem to have some things in common with the parents.
