The Rides

Rylee mostly rode the carousel, but she found other fun things to play on too. Here she is with Kermit the Frog. Bet you didn't know he and Paul were friends!

Rylee looks pretty comfortable in this convertible. I remember riding these cars myself.

Here we are on the train (that was, and still is, my favorite ride).

This isn't a great picture, but I wanted to prove to you that we weren't the only people there. Though it did feel like we had the place to ourselves!

Paul Bunyan

I mentioned we went to Paul Bunyanland last weekend. This is the first time I've been there since they moved it from its original location. It didn't quite live up to my childhood memories, but Rylee still had fun.

 

Paul was, of course, very excited to see her. He liked the fact that she had traveled all the way from Florida just to meet him. He even joked that it was more impressive than the kids who came from Crosslake right after her. Not sure their parents loved that! It was difficult to get a good picture of us all - Paul was blinking in many of the shots. :)

 

Rylee's favorite thing to do was ride the carousel - big shocker there!

 

All in all, it was a fun time... a little expensive, but fun. :)

 

Recap

Fun days: Sunday we took Rylee to Paul Bunyan but I've been waiting to post about it until I can upload the pics too. Then Monday Rylee got to go to my cousin Lisa's farm. She got to pet and feed the horses and the donkey. What fun!

Sick days: Tuesday Rylee came down with a mild fever and runny nose. This canceled some fun plans like the day with Grandpa Chip and Grandpa Sandy and a girls night out for me - such is life.

Rainy days: Its been raining for days, but we've still managed to have some fun. Rylee and I met my cousin's daughter, Lexi, for the first time. She's ten weeks old and super sweet! Rylee also got her first taste of Rafferty's pizza. They made it special with her cheese - yum!

Silly Things...

...Rylee has said lately.

At McDonalds:
"e i e i o" (I'm sure all kids make the Old Macdonald / McDonalds mistake, but it was too funny.)

after playing with her happy meal toy for one second - a cheap toy phone that doesn't make any sounds - "oops batteries dead"

New favorite phrase:
"uh oh what happened?"

She can use this in a million different ways. Today when I put her down for her nap I could hear her on the monitor saying "uh oh blankie, what happened?"

She had dropped it outside her crib. After I gave it back to her she said, "blankie, what happened? I hold you."

Too cute!

Tired

The wedding trip was great. I'll fill you in on details later. I'm going on only 4 hours sleep so I'm heading to bed early.

Rylee had a nice time. It was a lot of driving, but luckily she didn't seem to mind.

Heading Out

Rylee, GaGa and I are heading out to Fargo tomorrow for a friend's wedding. I'm hoping my decision to take Rylee won't come back to bite me... :)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Bounce House

GaGa did some garage-saling before we arrived to get the necessities for Rylee: toys, books, bounce house!

It's fabulous and Rylee loves it of course. Here are some action shots of her jumping.
