Ahhh Nature



It's been beautiful here lately. So, we decided to go for a walk, and become one with nature. Weslie still has a little trouble negotiating uneven ground, but she is getting to be a real pro at walking. She just loved picking up leaves and sticks to give to us.

Go U.S.A



We've really enjoyed watching the Olympics. The gymnastics, diving, and swimming have all been great, and the track and field evens are starting to really heat up. Weslie just can't enough of it. Her favorite event is the 20k speed walk.

Has it been a year already?



Weslie had her first birthday this week. We tried not to go overboard on the presents, but its hard not too. We gave her a little cake and then let her go wild. However, she did not tear into it like we thought, she ate a little at a time and was fairly neat. Go figure.

The Stinky Zoo



Today we took Weslie to the Plumpton Park Zoo. In all honesty it was one of the best zoos I've ever been to. It's right up there with Monkey Jungle. What I love about these zoos is how close you can get to the animals. The Plumpton Zoo is pretty much a petting zoo, but it also has tigers, bears, wolves, and other animals that you can't touch and some that you don't want to touch. The zoo is located on an old farm with lots of shade and small domestic animals walking free. It's not the National Zoo in D.C., but they won't let you get anywhere near the pandas.

Weslie goes to the Beach...



For the first time Weslie got to see the ocean, and she didn't really care for it at first. We pretty much explored the New Jersey coast line between Atlantic City and a place called Cape May. We had a good time. Weslie liked playing in the sand, but didn't care for the water. It was a little cool.

We're back



While we were in Mississippi the hard drive on our computer broke. I mean it actually, physical, broke. It made all kinds of strange sounds and rattled like a baby's toy. So, we lost everything, and I mean everything, because I never made backups. Ohh why didn't I make backups. Anyway everything is working great now. Big THANKS to Dell. They were great. They sent a new hard drive, free, and super helpful on getting everything back on track.



Here's a cute picture of Weslie. She's just happy to eat her French fries.
