4th of July and the Reston Zoo

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We played at the park for a while in the morning. Riley LOVES the slide. She just goes up and down, up and down, up and down. After about an hour she was too tired to walk home! After a nice nap we went over to our friends Adam and Jacque's house for a little afternoon BBQ. We returned home in time for bed so Riley wasn't able to stay awake for some fireworks. She only had one nap on Saturday, so she was exhausted by 8pm. Which was fine, I am sure the noise would have scared her. Perhaps next year!!

Riley enjoys going "grocery shopping" in our pantry. She will take things out one at a time and place them on the window sill. She then sits down with them and takes an inventory of everything she has. She did pick up some spaghetti that was already opened....and well, the rest went on the floor! No biggie, she just kept shopping right around it!

Sunday we just had some quality family time. Joe works on Saturdays so Sundays are really just family day! But today Riley and I met my sister Nicole and her kids Gavin and Jack at the Reston Petting Zoo. She seemed to love it. So really liked the monkeys and the goats. If she was allowed to I think she would have jumped in with the kangaroo and ducks! Gavin had a great time riding the pony and feeding the pigs.
