Daddy's Vacation

Daddy was on vacation all last week! We were very busy and loved having Daddy home! Here are some of the highlights of the week:

Cookout
Mommy and Daddy had a cookout and invited Little Shane over (oh yeah and his parents too)! Rilee and Shane played all day. They went on several walks, looked out the front door, and played with Rilee's toys! They even took a bath together (Mommy thinks those pictures might come back to haunt them when they get older!)






Craig's Graduation Party
We spent the day celebrating Craig's college graduation. Rilee enjoyed playing corn hole, relaxing on the hammock, and swining on the swing. It was a great day!






The Zoo
We took Rilee to the zoo for the first time! She loved the seals and the giraffes! We also got to see the new baby elephant. He was so cute! Rilee didn't make it all the way through the zoo the first time, so we went back to see the monkeys and the aquarium a couple of days later.







Maumee Bay
Grambo and Big Poppy spent the week camping at Maumee Bay. We went out there several times. Rilee loved playing on the corn hole boards and the swingset. She even spent the night with Grambo and Big Poppy in the camper! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to take Rilee camping at Kelley's Island in July.










Fish Fry at Grambo and Big Poppy's Camper
On Saturday Grambo and Big Poppy had a fish fry at their camper at Maumee Bay. We all had a lot of fun! We tried out Rilee's play yard (she was only happy with Mommy and Daddy in the play yard too). Rilee loved going for a walk to the park and sliding down the big slide!






Cookout at Grandpa Pops'
On Father's Day we went over to Grandpa Pops' for a cookout. Rilee wanted to play in some buckets of water so Mommy put her in her bathing suit and swim diaper. After about an hour she had barely even touched the water so Mommy changed her back into her clothes. This of course was when she decided she needed to sit in the bucket of water and dump the water all over herself. By the time she was done her clothes were soaked and her diaper was huge! She had a great time though!

Summer Is Here!

Mommy is officially on summer break! It has been awhile since I posted pictures of Rilee so here are a bunch of what we have been up to the past couple weeks! Now that Mom is on break I'm sure we will be very busy enjoying summer. Daddy's first week of vacation starts Friday! Both Mom and Rilee are very excited for him to be able to join in all of the summer fun!

Here we are flower shopping! Rilee loved looking at all the flowers and even carrying around a bowl from a bird bath!








Rilee went to the park for a graduation party and discovered side walk chalk. She had fun "writing" on the sidewalk with Dad!





Great Aunt Kristie has been hard at work! She not only knits hats, but a dress as well! This adorable dress arrived in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Rilee wore it to church and got a lot of attention! The blue is the perfect color for Rilee because it brings out her beautiful blue eyes!





Rilee loves to relax with her best friend, Brutus!



Rilee loves to swim! She especially loves floating in our new pool! Mommy, Daddy and Rilee all love to float around and relax in the pool. It has been really hot here so we have used the pool a lot the past couple of days!




Here she is getting ready for church!



Rilee loves to run around Grambo and Big Poppy's backyard. She also spent the afternoon swinging and taking a dip in her baby pool!




Here she is waiting for Mommy to get ready to go shopping. Rilee needed new tennis shoes so that she is ready for all the camping we are going to do this summer!
