We were worried they wouldn't be able to come because DiDi got pretty sick right before their trip but thankfully she recovered quick and they still made it out! Riley was really looking forward to it and so was I...they entertained her and gave me a little break which was so nice! I am lucky to have such great in-laws! Riley didn't quite understand why Bubba and Gaby didn't get to come too...she sure loves her aunt and uncle...but they were busy with sports and school. This also gave Frank and Des special time to just be with Riley.
They got in late Thursday night and we picked them up from the aiport and of course made our usual run through Inn-N-Out for a snack on our way home. It was a late night for Riley but she wasn't phased by it with the excitement of DiDi and Doc being here!
Friday they had a fun full day...
First off there were some piggy back rides for the princess!
Then they were off for some soccer at the park. Doc is a great soccer player so he gave Riley some tips!
They grabbed lunch at McDonald's and then they headed to the Jelly Belly Factory!
I made some headway on the baby bedding while they were out and I also got a super special package from the mail man!
Jason had gotten Riley some special presents the week before and he had shipped them to her because he wanted her to have the joy of getting a package! He told her about it a little too soon because she literally checked the mail moments after he told her he shipped them and every day after looking for her "treats"...finally the package had arrived while she was out with DiDi and Doc so I left it on the doorstep for her to open after her nap!
To say she was excited was an understatement...it was so fun to watch her open it!
She got a princess video camera, a fun splashy pig toy, and Ariel and Prince Eric dolls...they were truly a hit and she literally didn't go anywhere without them for days!
As soon as we got all 500 pieces of plastic off the dolls and got them out of the package...she let them have true love's kiss!
Such a great Daddy!
We went out for a nice dinner that evening at Vintage Cafe..one of our favorites! I knew Frank and Desiree would love it!
Riley wanted to wear DiDi's glasses and she looked pretty cute in them!
The she started making funny faces and so far this is my favorite funny face from Riley...she is such a hoot!
Saturday morning we headed to Suisun to eat at Bab's Delta Diner...a fun spot for a scrumptious breakfast!
We walked around a bit before our table was ready...it was a gorgeous day!
We got some pics with DiDi and Doc!
And of course we had to do funny faces too!
Ariel and Prince Eric came to breakfast with us...of course!
I just can't get enough of this sweet girl!
We all cleared our plates at breakfast! I headed home to get some more sewing done and DiDi and Doc took Riley for more soccer at the park and a trip to the pumpkin patch!
She had fun in the corn bath...and can you find Ariel in the pic? :)
I got a text from DiDi when they were on their way home that said "headed home with a tired, dusty, hungy girl :)" so I made some homemade pizzas and salad and had dinner ready shortly after they got home. We got Riley fed and bathed and it was off to bed for her! DiDi and Doc were wiped out too but we had rented Lincoln Lawyer and watched that after Riley was asleep!
Sunday we went to church, came home for lunch, and then spent the rest of the day checking out Muir Woods!
It was a busy day but the weather was great and it's just so beautiful!
It's just amazing how big these trees are!
We had a blast and a workout...when we got all the way inside the park almost to the point where you would turn around Riley had to go potty...and badly. Thankfully Doc pushed her fast in the stroller and we made it back to the bathrooms on time. Then we went all the way back in to keep looking around. I didn't think we would need the stroller but I'm so glad we ended up taking it...Riley was still worn out from the few days before so she actually spent quite a bit of time riding around rather than walking.
After Muir Woods we went into downtown Sausalito and ate at a restaurant overlooking the bay...we had a great seafood dinner and then headed home...we were all pretty wiped out! DiDi and Doc had to leave bright and early the next morning so it was straight to bed for all of us! We had such a great time and Riley got to do so many fun things while they were here and I got to work on some projects and get a little bit of a break...it was wonderful!
Thanks DiDi and Doc for everything!
