More lake fun...

We had another fun day! This morning Riley was playing with my old Teddy Ruxpin...he needs new batteries so he doesn't talk but she doesn't know she's missing anything. He normally sits in the corner of my parents kitchen in the highchair that my grandfather, my mother, and myself used! He is in pretty good shape for being twenty something years old and Riley loved him!

We made a day trip to San Antonio for a baby shower and it was a lot of fun!
It was fun to see everyone...this group goes way back as the four of us girls all grew up together because we lived on the same street! We were reminiscing about the fake nails we used to play with and the Baby Alive we all wanted and got for Christmas...the good 'ol days! Now we are all grown up...and married (or soon to be)...and having kiddos! Maegan is going to have her first little one...a boy named Hudson...in June!
Me and Riley, Andrea, Maegan, Ashley and Berkley
Riley and Berkley are three months apart and had fun playing together. We had an hour and a half trip in to go to the shower and I was sure Riley would nap on the way because she was rubbing her eyes before we left...I was wrong. She fought sleep the whole time and instead decided to sing and dance most of the way...little stinker! I was worried she might be fussy at the shower but it turns out Berkley hadn't napped either so we were all in the same boat! They both did great though considering they hadn't had a nap at all!
Riley wasn't too sure what to think at first...and she was so tired and hadn't gotten her second wind yet!
After getting her grub on and warming up to everyone she was ready to party...she helped Maegan open her presents by offering to pull out all the tissue paper and test out any toys!
Here's all the babies...Riley loves to crawl and climb on things and she actually crawled under the exersaucer...she actually made it without getting bounced on!
She loved Berkley's toys...especially the Dora riding toy! Berkley was very sweet to let Riley play with all of her toys...they shared well for the most part!
We had a lot of fun and had yummy cupcakes from Elms Bakery...where my wedding cake was from! Needless to say Riley was SOOOOOOOOOOO tired and was asleep before we even left the neighborhood and slept the entire trip back to the lake! When she woke up she had fun playing with my sunglasses!
We stopped at HEB on the way home...best grocery store ever and a place I deeply miss! We found a little patio chair for Riley and had to get it...she would sit in it for approximately 1 second and then she was off. When we took it outside she just wanted to pick it up and carry it up and down the stairs with her...she's a very busy little girl...no time for sitting!
We took a nice walk before dinner and Riley got to ride on Joe Pa's shoulders...she LOVED it! She did a lot of walking herself for a little girl but she is getting faster and faster and has just loved being outside! On our walk we saw a bunch of deer and Riley stopped and said "doggie"...she's close!

We had a great meal tonight...on laketime! Laketime means we don't eat dinner until 9:00 because that's just what you do at the lake! My dad grilled quail and steaks and I made some homemade macaroni and cheese...yummm! Riley played all evening in a basket of spices and she had them everywhere! We also tried to teach her the chicken dance...she was making a good attempt at all the moves. By 9:30 she she was still going strong so Grammie finally calmed her down and rocked her to sleep...she's just having too much fun to sleep!

I used to love me some Teddy Ruxpin! My cousin had the little creature that he attached to and they tell stories. I know he still exists (in my parents attic), but I'm not sure he is still alive.
