I'm Back Home

We drove back from Florida last night. It was a long ride in the car. I watched a lot of movies again and I was a good girl. It was fun living on the beach but I was glad to get back home.

On the Beach

I have had a lot of fun on the beach this week. Mommy wrote my name in the sand. We went for some walks along the beach in my stroller. We saw a lot of people and a lot of birds. I like the birds but they don't let me get close to them. One night we walked on the beach and watched the sun set. I wore a pretty dress. Isn't this a cute picture with Mommy?


I helped Kevin and Kristie make a big sand tunnel. I went to the ocean to get them water for their sand. It was a big hill with a tunnel and we poured water in it.

These other people had this big ball that went on the ocean. I went over to check it out and they wanted me to get in it. I did get in there for about 3 seconds and then I got scared.




Daddy rescued me from the ball. And today Daddy dug a hole to bury my legs. Help me!

Don't worry about me. I got my legs out all by myself!

It started storming today so we came inside. I'm going to take a nap. We are going out to eat some fish tonight. See you later.

Cutie in the Pool

The house we are living in by the ocean has a pool too. We like to go in the pool and swim. There are usually a lot of other kids in the pool. I borrowed some glasses from one of the kids. I also have a yellow float. Sometimes Mommy and Daddy hold me and swim around. I tell them to let me go but they don't let me. I can't wait to learn how to swim so I can go where I want to.

Fun in Florida

I have been having a good time on vacation. We go and play in the sand on the beach. I helped bury Daddy's hands and feet! He looked silly.


I have been in the ocean. There is a lot fish and seaweed in the ocean. I don't like standing on the edge of the water but I'm okay with it if someone is holding me. I do like to play on the wet sand with some toys. And I like to look for pretty shells with Mommy.


Kevin and Kristie came down to live with us by the ocean too! We all went to breakfast this morning at some frog place. I didn't want to eat any biscuits or waffles. I did eat some grapes.

Then we went in the ocean after breakfast. After all of that fun I had to take a nap in my tent on the beach. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Riley Meets the Beach & Ocean

I'm going on vacation with Mommy, Daddy, Gram, and GG (Great Grandma). We drove in the car for a long time. I watched some movies and took a couple of naps. Everyone said that I was good girl for sitting in the car for so long. We finally made it to Florida last night. And we went on the beach and I got see the ocean. I was a little bit scared at first. But after a few minutes I warmed up to it. And Mommy and Daddy and me took a walk along the water. I'm really excited to be living right by the ocean. It is going to be a fun vacation!

Happy 4th of July!

I'm busy hanging out at the lake today with Mommy and Gram and Poppy. It is a rainy day. I had a little taste of fireworks in our neighborhood last night. I don't like the loud booms. I like the fireworks that are colorful and pretty and quiet. That is the best kind of fireworks. Maybe I'll like the loud fireworks when I am bigger. Have a happy 4th of July, everyone!
Love, Riley

Daddy just wanted to share this picture of me changing my baby's diaper. I was taking her clothes off and he asked me if I was going to change her diaper. So I got out some wipes out of my dresser and Daddy handed me a diaper. I got the diaper open and laid it out on the floor and put Zoie on it. I've seen my diaper changed all of the time. I know how it goes. [Daddy note: Riley doesn't know it but she is practicing so she can change her little brother's or sister's diapers.]
