Camping

Over the 4th of July weekend, we drove up to the Bolfing family resort in Cold Spring, Minnesota. Along the way, we stopped in Boone, IA where they have a train museum, and lots of train stuff to walk around / climb in.



Riley got to go on his 1st boat ride, he loved it. Yes I know the life jacket is pink, Riley isn't too manly for safety.



However, he wasn't too fond of the Lake part. Riley refused to touch the water with more than a hand. Oh well, it'll work out. I think over all he had a good time. There were lots of boats to watch, and he ran everywhere.



One of the most interesting parts was the camping. We brought our tent, and camped with Brian's parents. I think Riley enjoyed the tent part of the trip, I know he liked climbing into our bed whenever he wanted. Packing camp was a little challenging. It rained a good part of the night, and in the morning there was still some light rain. We managed to get almost everything out of the tent without waking Riley. Here we are with the last piece to go, the sleeping bag he was on. The trip home was great. Riley was so tired from the last 3 days of being up from 6 am to 10 pm, that he slept at least 1/2 the way home.

OK, so I have no idea what to post as a title for this, so lets just get to the pictures.

Two!

Well, its been two years since wonderboy came into our lives, and what a crazy/fun journey it's been so far.

Riley loves lining his cars up in a line.

And the face after pushing his little "train" of cars off the table.

Dallstream Christmas

As soon as we were done opening presents at our house, we loaded up the car and headed to Grandma and Grandpa D's house. Grandma had a full house, and Riley got to play with all of the cousins.

Riley was super excited about his "bike."


Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Merry Christmas 2010

OK, ok, it's a few days late, but better late than never... right? Christmas was sooo much fun this year. Riley has finally gotten the hang of opening presents, and seems to love everything he got, to the point of getting upset at the dog when she goes to sniff a toy, "noooo, mine."



Hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday.

Duplo Man

It's so funny, if dad will help him build a long base, this kid will just keep stacking until he is either out of pieces, or its too unstable.

Westhoff Christmas

Last weekend was the 2010 Westhoff Christmas. Riley had lots of fun leading his pawpaw around to play and explore.
