I Go Under the Sea

After a fun night of camping out with Memaw and Grandad,

Mom and Dad came to pick me up and we went for a very long ride!
But I learned that long rides are perfect for long naps!

When we got out of the car, I found out we were
all the way in Northern Kentucky at a place called Newport on the Levee!!


Newport Aquarium, here we come!!

Wow!! These fish are much bigger than the ones Dad had!!

There were also these little zebra sharks too!
I liked them a lot!

Did you know that piranhas get to be as big as a baby head?!
Yikes!!!

Mom told me that even though this was
a little bitty alligator, it could still bite my baby toes!

HELP DAD!!!!!
MOM'S FEEDING MY TOES TO THE ALLIGATOR!!!!!

Okay, birds are a lot better than alligators I've decided.

And here we are getting ready to go into Shark Alley!
Mom and I walked under lots of lots of beautiful and big fishes!

I see something Mom doesn't see here in Shark's Alley....
Look very closely....

Look at these big sharks!!!
I thought the little ones were neat,
but these are incredible!!

We're surrounded!
Mom spotted one right above us and I saw a few to the side.


There were so many sharks and big fish in this tank!
I liked watching them swim over us and all around.

And did you know that Dad is so brave that he
reached right in and petted those sharks?
Well, these were a little smaller,
but he still told me I'd have to wait until next year to pet one.

We also saw penguins at this place!
Mom said she heard one say,
"Just smile and wave, boys!"

After we visited all the animals under the sea,
we went out and looked across the big river into Ohio!

Did you know the bridge behind Dad is called the
Purple People Bridge?
Dad said we could walk all the way to Ohio on that bridge,
just not today.

After we got done looking at Ohio,
Dad and I sat down and talked about our adventures.

What do you mean it's time to go, Mom?
We were just getting started!
Oh well, another long nap does sound pretty good!

Back at home and chillin' with Dad!
What an adventurous day and guess what?!
The weekend just started!!!
Stay tuned for more adventures!

Another Campout Adventure

I usually like to start my mornings with a little cardio,
just to get going plus it helps Mom stay on her toes too!
Cardio also helps me prepare for my day and on this day,
we did a lot of running around and waiting around.

That can tire a fellow pretty quick!

But it was fine because later that afternoon after all
our running around, I went to Memaw and Grandads...
Mom and Dad were going on a date and
they said they were going to stay out later than my bedtime.
So Grandad asked me if I was ready for some football and I sure was!

So after we watched a whole bunch of football and had supper,
it was time for Riley soup.

Did you know that at Memaw and Grandad's
I get to be master of the remote?
At least until my bedtime.

Good morning to you!
I slept very good and decided it was time for breakfast!

Here Memaw....
Mom usually changes my diaper as soon as I wake up
and I think I'm ready for a fresh one please.

After a diaper change and a little snack,
I wanted to read the paper so Grandad and I went out to get it.
I told him he could have it when I was done.

Just kidding!
I don't like that black stuff that gets all over my baby fingers!
I let him have the paper and I did what I do best.

It was time to play and play until Mom and Dad came to get me!
Thanks for the great sleepover adventure!

A Very Happy Birthday Dinner

Guess who I saw today?
Yep - my Uncle Reed and Cousin Gus!


Aunt Steph was there too!
We all went out to dinner and helped Dad celebrate his birthday!


The people at the restaurant tried to help him celebrate too
and they gave him a big hat and sang to him.
But I didn't like that hat one bit and
I yelled and yelled at it and let everyone know.

But I sure did have fun playing with
Cousin Gus' toys and Aunt Steph!


Cousin Gus and I tried to sit still for a picture...

But we liked playing and jumping all over the place better!

I did sit still for a photo op with Uncle Reed, though.

Yep, Mom and I are sure glad Dad had a very nice birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Dad!
Thanks for all the flying lessons too!

Happy Birthday to Dad!!!!

Here's me and Dad on my birthday!!!
He and I have been hanging out ever since!

Sometimes, Dad rocks me to sleep.
I sure do like those nights!


Plus, we even go golfing together!


I love it when he tickles me!
It makes me laugh and laugh!!


Yep - Dad and I do everything together!
Even chase peacocks!!
Thanks for always being there for me Dad!
Love you!!

I Contribute to the Water Bill

Look at all this water just for me!!!
Mom said I was getting too big for my baby tub
so I got to get in the big tub!
I splashed and splashed in my water seat!!

I was having so much fun even the Critter came to see me.
I wanted her to get in, but Mom said that wasn't a good idea.

I sure do like all this water and these bubbles just for me!
Bath night just got so much more fun!

Ice Water

Here I am at lunch with Mom and Dad
and Memaw and Grandad came too!
I even got my very own big glass!

Well, it was Grandad's but I told him I would share.
I took a whole bunch of ice cubes out for him.

My hands and lips got very cold,
but throwing those ice cubes was very fun!

So far, Memaw and Grandad pretty much let me do whatever I want!
I can even climb all over them at lunch!

See how good I share?
I sure liked putting that cold water on Grandad's nose!
Thanks for the cool lunch!
