Christmas Break
Ok, I know its the middle of January.
Riley was home pretty much from December 22 to Jan 3rd, so we had lots of family time.
He helped me make cheesy bread, I think his favorite part was sprinkling the cheese.
For Christmas this guy got soooo much cool stuff.
See this neat ramp thingie, that all of the cars work on?
Apparently, it's not as cool at the laundry basket ramp (that is also a slide)

Cruise 2011
Since I'm super behind in posing pictures, I'll try to get a bunch up today.
So the 2nd week in December, we went on a Cruise, on the Norwegian Spirit. We left out of New Orleans, and went to Costa Maya (where we just shopped a little bit), Belize (we went on a river boat tour, then to some Mayan ruins), Honduras (we went snorkeling and sea kayaking) and Cozumel (where we just shopped a little bit). We had a great time, and it was super relaxing, we spent a lot of time on the sundeck just reading...maybe a little napping. On to the pictures.
In Belize, we went on this river tour and ruin trip. We got off the ship, it was pouring, took a 15 minute boat ride to the port, then another 15 minute boat ride to the mouth of the river. The trip up the river was awesome. We got to see lots of wildlife (in the picture is a group of howler monkeys), and had a great tour guide who taught us about the culture and history of the country. Then we had a local lunch, and on to a bus to take us to Altun Ha. It was misting a little bit when we got there, but not too badly. We walked around the grounds for a while and even got to climb to the top of this ruin.
In Honduras, we went on a snorkel/ kayak tour. The snorkeling was probably some of the best that we have seen. Lots of coral, and tons of colorful fish. The only downside was that since it was in a cove off the ocean, there were quite a bit of waves, so we definitely worked off some of the calories from the ship. We had lunch there, and then went on a Kayak trip to another cove. The guides then showed us some of the local fauna, and even picked fresh coconuts for us. No pictures, but we were on Roatan, West End. The tour was run out of the SeaBreeze Inn, and we had lunch at the Cannibal Cafe (food was fantastic), and they offer the same tour to people saying at the inn.
When we finally made it back to New Orleans, we decided to walk around the French Quarter, instead of sitting at the airport. We had beignets at Cafe Beignets, and looked at all of the neat architecture.

Bat MAN!!
The other night, Riley decided that he wanted to be Batman, so one blanket later he was "flying" around the living room.

Family Pictures
So, once again a friend and I got our families together to trade family pictures. Riley had a great time and did so well for the camera, but of course got a little silly.
Pumpkin Time
So, one night after work we drove over to the Pumpkin patch in Liberty. Riley had a great time giving me grain to feed the goats (he didn't want to, because they kept nibbling on him), and running around.
We get on the wagon to go to the "pumpking patch," which is really a harvested corn field that has pumpkins in it. He picked one out and brought it home for Dad to carve.
Riley even helped Brian design the pumpkin face, and helped me pull out the pumpkin seeds, (apparently the inside feels like "eww". After the pumpkin was carved, Riley kept asking if it was going to fly away (!!). Who knows.
