A little Christmas holiday fun (part 1)

We got into Wellington on Wednesday morning, had a day and half in our home, and then packed up the car and headed 3 hours north for Christmas with Mark's family.  I wasn't totally sure what to expect, all I knew was we were staying in a house with a pool with Mark's parents and a few of his other family members.  I had visions of Riley being on US time the whole time and waking everybody up at 4am every day, which might not have made for a very merry Christmas!  BUT, somehow she adjusted extremely well, and slept great (we're talking 3 hour naps every day), and loved exploring the house.  They had a bunch of fruit tree in the yard, which provided plenty of entertainment

She ran up and down that little walkway over and over and over again, begging us to turn on the hose, and making piles of the fruit she picked off the tree.

This child loves the outdoors, and was as happy as could be to just run around and explore.  I wish I could say the same for me, but I have been cursed with the worst allergies ever, and was pretty much miserable pretty much the whole time with all the pollen and other crap floating around.  But Riley didn't seem to be bothered by any of it, so that's all that matters!

Since the weather was so nice, we took advantage by visiting all sorts of outdoor places, including a duck pond.  Riley LOVED it.

She's wearing a swim suit, in case you were wondering what the heck was going on with those booty shorts.  There was also a splash pad at this park, so we ventured over there after.  She totally preferred feeding the ducks though. :)

Mark wasn't totally excited about the thought of putting her down and letting her feed the ducks (apparently he has traumatic memories of feeding ducks as a child), but Riley insisted so we let her give it a go.

She would have stayed there all day!!! Needless to say, we made multiple trips back to that pond while we were there!  And heard a lot of "duck duck duck!" and "quack quack quack!" 

More Christmas vacation fun coming soon...
