A visit with Great Great Aunt Zoe!

This is Zoe! I have been waiting the last three years to meet her. Zoe is Justin's grandma's sister...so I think that makes her Braden's great great aunt. Maybe just one great...I don't know, but either way she is a lot of fun and spunk! Everybody loves Zoe and tells great and fun stories about her energy and love for life so I have always wanted to meet her and I finally got my chance! And it was most definately all true. Zoe is like a role model for all of us of how we want to be when we get older. She is 86 and 1/2 years old (she made a joke about how when you are really young and when you are really old you always add the 1/2 to your age...whether your 1 1/2 or 86 1/2, that half a year is a big deal!). She is here for the summer so I'm hoping we'll get to see her a few more times. She is full of spunk and energy - and loves to dance. She told us that is how she hopes to go out of this world...dancing. She went para-sailing for the first time to celebrat her 80th b-day, and in the last few years has been on Dancing with the Stars, the Price is Right (and even got called down on stage!), and danced with Billy Ray Cyrus for a minute between commercial break on the Ellen Degeneres show. Anyway, she has an amazing love for every moment of life and all the family is hoping that when we all grow up we will be like Aunt Zoe! :)

We had a picnic at the park in Steilacomm by the beach and spent the evening with her. Braden had a great time with her and pretty much sat in her lap and played and danced with her all night.

Addi had a great time playing on the playground and going down the slide! She did not want to leave and I think she would have been happy to slide all night long if we had let her.

Uncle 'Skagk" (or Zach) is the best!
