Bethany Beach Fun

For the July 4th weekend we headed to Bethany Beach, DE to spend a relaxing weekend with Matt's parents at their condo.  Apparently many people had the same plan for Saturday morning.  It took us close to 5 hours to get there when it normally takes about 2 1/2 hours.  Riley was fine though.  She handled the long car ride with ease.  This was our first family getaway so we learned fast that although Riley is just a baby...she comes with alot of stuff!  We had to pack the car seat, stroller, pack n play, her favorite rocker, all of her outfits, diapers, etc.  It filled our SUV!  She was tuckered out when we got there so grandma took over for us.

 

We thought it would be cute for Riley to have her first pool time.  This did not go well.  She was not happy about her tiny swim suit or our attempt to take pictures of her "enjoying" the water.  She is not a fan of the pool so we quickly snapped some pics and got her out of there.  Take a look at the video and you can feel her discomfort with what we put her through. :(

On Sunday we went over Aunt Joyce and Uncle Tim's condo in Bethany to celebrate Tim's birthday.  It was great to see family and have some wonderful homemade food. 

Riley got some wonderful outfits courtesy of Auntie Jacqui Hicks (my former coworker who now lives in Korea).  She got the perfect July 4th outfits embroidered with "Baby Riley" on them.  I love (heart) them and hope she can fit in the outfit for Labor Day.  I doubt it but I'm hopeful. 

Riley is only 10 weeks old and her 3 month old onsies are tight!  We have moved to the 3/6 month and 6 month clothes.  She is so long that things just can't stay buttoned. 

She is now smiling all the time and making funny noises.  See our video taken last night.  She is so adorable its hard not to just stare at her all day!  We love our Riley Bear!
