Happy 4th of July!

Yesterday we spent the day up in Loveland for a 4th of July celebration with our family. My Aunt and Uncle have a house on Lake Loveland and we had a great time at their annual celebration.



Riley had her own special area set up with baby pool and an adorable beach chair. She had a great time splashing in the little pool and hamming it up for her fans.

She also loved getting to spend time with her cousin Madeline and adored the attention that she got from all of Madeline's friends. She surrounded herself with these older girls as much as she possibly could throughout the day.

She also enjoyed the Bocce balls and didn't really care that there other people playing a game with these balls.

Enjoying a couple of her fave things, the Love Sac and Bocce Ball...

Although the very un-4th of July weather tried to keep us inside, the clouds parted and the rain stopped so that we could get out on the water for Riley's first boat ride, she obviously loved it. It actually wasn't as bad as it looks in the picture. It was really poor timing that the weather cleared right about nap time, so she started off a little cranky but the boat actually put her to sleep. Too bad she missed Uncle Ry and cousin Nick's sweet wake boarding.

We were so excited for the great fireworks display over the lake and couldn't wait for little Miss to see them for the first time. She managed to stay awake just long enough and loved watching the show! She kept saying "bang" in response to the sound each time they fired one off.
