Riley got his first taste of fast food on the trip to the lake... Wendy's, Sonic, & McDonalds all in one day! He loved his Wendy's Frosty. It reminded me of my Grandma and Grandpa Quincey, they loved them too!
Riley the trooper, eating his snacks in the car and watching the iPad. I don't know how my parents took long car trips with three little kids when we were young without an iPad!! I guess that's why we had a big tube TV strapped to a milk crate with bungee cords that constantly blew the car fuse :)
My parents stayed upstairs in the master suite, which we called the "tree house". Riley loved visiting the tree house and playing in Grandma's suitcase.
We rented a nice pontoon boat, and took a few lake excursions. Here are our two boat captains!
Riley loved beeping the horn!
He, however, was not so sure about swimming in the lake water. Table Rock Lake is so beautiful and clean!
We anchored the boat and swam to a little island.
Riley's favorite activity was throwing rocks into the water... forget swimming and boating! Give the kid a few pebbles and he is a happy camper.
Where's Grandma? Water walking in the background!
Hi Grandpa!
Riley loves his Grandpa
And his Auntie Lala
And especially his Dada
These two are too cute
Boat rides are exhausting, time for a nap
We also took a mini excursion to the local berry farm. We got a few jams and blueberry muffins. They were also nice enough to make Riley a grilled cheese, so we ate lunch at the picnic tables. Could he be any more thrilled?!
Favorite thing at the farm... a TRACTOR! Time to inspect the machinery...
Off to the next farm implement...
We also spent lots of time by the amazing pool. It was a salt water pool with water falls and a cool water slide. We all took turns going up and down the slide with Mr. Riley... he couldn't get enough!
We also did some exploring down by the lake shore, and got very muddy! We ask Riley, how much do we love you? THIIIIS much he says!
Time to hose down this dirty boy!
Nighttime consisted of lots of snuggles with Aunty Lib.
And, of course some roasted marshmallows on the screened in porch. We had an awesome wood fire place on the porch and a hot tub. What else could you ask for??
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for an amazing vacation! We all had a great time!
