Happy Birthday PopPop

It's been a busy month for birthdays! Yesterday we went to Annapolis to celebrate my PopPop's birthday. I got to go on my first boat ride and I loved it!!!! We took a 2 hour boat ride to St Michaels, MD, spent a few hours there and then another boat ride and dinner. It was a long and fun day... so much fun I forgot to take a nap! Here are a few pictures from our day.


That's the boat pulling in to pick us up.

The gangs all here and ready to go!


This is fun Daddy!




Aunt Kenna helped to keep me entertained all day.

What's that Daddy?

I even got to drive the boat!




Back on land in St Michaels, we stopped to take a few pictures before exploring the town.

Here is a sample of Daddy's photography. Pretty good if you ask me.






After a few hours, we were back on the boat. I was pretty tired, but refused to take a nap. Uncle Luis and I spent some time together.


To pass the time, I decorated myself with stickers...

then I helped to decorate PopPop!

I want that one Daddy!

This is the life!!

XOXO, Ryanne

PS (from Mommy)...actual conversation at the end of the long day

Ryanne: Hi Big Boat. What you doing?

Daddy: It's sleeping.

Ryanne: Wake up big boat!

(I think she likes boats!)

Happy Birthday Grandma and Gammy

Last weekend was a busy one. First we went to Nana and Papa's house in PA to celebrate my great grandma's 94th birthday. It was a fun party. Everyone was there to celebrate including some of our relatives who drove all the way from Minnesota.

Before the party started, Papa shared some Rita's ice with me...strawberry margarita, hold the tequila please.

Thanks Papa for telling me who everyone was.

Sitting pretty in my party dress...


Uncle Chris and Uncle Josh did a good job of entertaining me.


When no one was looking, I snuck over to the ladder golf game the big people were playing.



What are you supposed to do with all these balls?


I'll put them here...2 points plus a bonus because they match my dress!


Photo op with Nana and the birthday girl, Great Grandma.


Another treat from Papa...my face after my first whoopie pie...yummy!!!


On Sunday we went to Annapolis to celebrate Gammy's Birthday. We all went to Mike's Crab House.

I loved looking at the water, boats and ducks.


Pop Pop drew pictures for Nick and I on the table.


Thanks cousin Nick for sharing your ice cream with me.


XOXO, Ryanne
