It was a nice relaxing 4th of July for us. In the morning we went to Patapsco State Park which we discovered was only 10 minutes from the house. We went hiking on the .3 mile path, looked at the rapids and played at the playground. The rest of the day was spent at home relaxing and playing.
We went to the DC Zoo on Saturday. Ryan liked the kid's zoo section and running through the sprinklers too cool off.
Thought I'd share some pictures of what I've been up to during the weekends. I've been taking down the tree in the front of the yard. My little helper (whom you see in one of the pictures), has been a great assistant with picking up sticks, but mostly he just supervises.
Here are pictures from Ryan's birthday party on Saturday. We can't belive that he's 2 years old already! Ryan had a fantastic time playing with his cousins. He had so much fun he slept right through naptime! Wow...that was a fun day!
The neighborhood is really beginning to look like spring. There are two trees by the front of the house that are blossoming. The birds are flying all around. Ryan wants to go (oweside) all time time.
Here are a few pictures of Ryan in his Easter outfit. It was a fantastic day today with family and Ryan had a great time.
With all the snow we had last night, Ryan had to come out to play. He's been out in the snow once before, but today was the first time in his new sled that he got for Christmas. Isn't it cool how the inflatable sides come up to protect him? He doesn't like touching the snow too much because of how cold it is, but he had a lot of fun being pulled around all over the place.
Some people in our area got almost 2 feet of snow. I think we got about a foot and a half. It didn't look like it was going to be a bad storm when we went to sleep last night, but I guess we were wrong.
Ryan likes to play outside whenever he can. Here are a few pictures we took tonight as he played with his favorite car and with his soccer ball.
Ryan had his first trip to the beach this year. We spent a week in Ocean City, MD. Ryan loved the beach. He's a big fan of the water too. He played in the sand, napped under the umbrela, and stood by the water as the waves came up to his feet.
