No pool? No problem.

Riley needed to cool off and we don't have a built in pool, so she had a blast running through the sprinkler.  She did leave some for the grass, but I think most of it landed on her head.  She thought it was hilarious that she was soaking wet in her clothes!

Swim Playdate

On Sunday afternoon Riley and I were able to cool off at the local Y with our friends Sophie and her mom.  The girls had a blast splashing around in the kiddie pool and even spent some time in the big pool.  It was such a great afternoon.

Conquering the Tube Slide

This weekend Riley went to the Delaware State Park and found a huge playground to master.  There were small slides and a huge tube slide.  We have seen big tube slides before, but have been too scared to attempt them.  Riley climbed to the top of the very high slide and I was thinking the whole time that I was going to have to go up after her.  Well, Riley proved me wrong and happily went down the slide (many times).  We are so proud of our big girl!

dinner with Riley

Riley is very entertaining all of the time, but this is what it is like to have dinner with her.  She REALLY wants to watch herself on the video, not realizing that I have to take the video before she can watch it.  So, you will see her asking to "see" herself.  Enjoy!

rolling girl

Riley likes to show off her skills by rolling around on the floor....

Holiday Weekend

The Malone's took advantage of the long weekend and had lots of fun!  On Saturday we went to have a BBQ at Dylan's house -- it was so fun to play with Dylan that Riley forgot to eat her dinner.  Oh well.  Sunday we made up for the rainy day we had on Saturday by spending the morning at the "pool".  Riley donned her bathing suit and swim shoes headed out to the pool and water table on the back deck.  After her nap we went to do some more eating at Andrew's friend's house - Kyle and Molly.  Riley was the only kid there, but made quite an impression.  Today we celebrated the 4th by spending the morning at the Zoo - Riley got to ride the merry-go-round, saw the gorillas, fish, polar bears and even played on the slides in the polar bear exhibit.  By lunchtime we were worn out, so we stopped for some homemade BBQ at City BBQ and ice cream at Graters -- yum!  After a good nap (for everyone) we headed back out to the water-wonderland on the deck.  Overall we had a great and tiring weekend.  I hope Riley sleeps well tonight, I know I will.
