Spring is here!!!

We are so happy the weather has been nice and have been outside as much as possible. We purchased a family Zoo pass this year and can't wait to take Rylee. My sister and I took Rylee to the Rain Forest part this week and had a GREAT time! Here we are getting ready to hit the road and Rylee on the way there.
Getting ready to head in. Rylee kicking back. Isn't she so cool!
This monkey ran up to her as soon as she got by the window. Screaming happened right after this photo was taken. She loved this anteater.
Looking around and Rylee dishing out the huggies.
Looking at the monkeys. I really loved this guy. He was so cute and needed a huggie!

She was watching 3 little otters wrestle.
Watching the thunderstorm then the alligator and turtles.
She really enjoyed climbing these stairs and playing by this glass wall.








We ate lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe. The food was great and reasonably priced. Rylee sharing a fry. I would say sharing is her most favorite thing to do. It makes her SOOO happy when you take what she is giving you!

She learned to "Auntie" during lunch. Trying to touch the waterfall before we left.
It was a GREAT day!! Next nice day that Daddy is available....ZOO TIME!
We bought Mommy a bike and baby carrier so we can bike ride this summer. The bike is at the shop being tuned up and should be ready this week! We also got Rylee a smart trike. It has a handle so that I can push her now and comes off when she can pedal herself. We used it to walk to the bank yesterday. She really enjoyed it. She makes "vroom vroom" noises, it's cute.
We took Rylee to the park yesterday. She really enjoys this tube. Can you tell?
The left was her first time on the swing at 6 months.




She still loves it!
Look how high Daddy was pushing her, LOL. I was kinda nervous. She says the higher the better!
Playing peek-a-boo. Probably her second favorite thing.

Walking around then a swing with her Daddy before we go.
We got most of her spring/summer wardrobe bought. Here the cutsie at Khols. Her little hand rips as much off the racks as it possible can.
Riding the snoopy house at Toy-R-Us.
Smiling in the car and playing so Mommy can shop.
At the play area at the mall. I can NOT believe she is big enough to play with other kids. It amazes me. One little boy was following her around saying "Wanna go on the swides" over and over and over... haha.
She thought banging this plate with the spoon was the funniest thing.
Trying to dump the cheetoes and destroying Dad's dresser.
Trying to get my camera, one if the things she is NOT aloud to touch.
That's all for now. Watched Daddy's tennis tournament this morning and more tomorrow. Headed to Aurora Farms to hit the Osh Kosh & Carter outlet and of course see the duckies!!
