Nana bought Landon this kite. No offense, Nana but it's a piece of junk! It was really windy today (and really hot but what else is new) so we went to the park in the neighborhood beside ours since they have a ball field and tried to fly this thing. It has two stings so you can do acrobatics with it but the stings just get tangled and all it wanted to do was acrobat on our heads. I tried until the sweat was rolling off of me to get this thing in the air. Landon gave up and went to play on the playground. Rileigh continued her snooze in the air conditioned Yukon! I finally gave up and told Landon we'd buy a real kite this week. I plan to stop by Toys R Us on Weds. and see what they have. I had the best Garfield kite when I was little. I still have it, packed away somewhere. I have no idea where that sucker is or we'd have pulled it out and flown that. I do know where the kite string is though so when I buy the new one we'll just have to attach it to the string!
Rileigh enjoyed eating watermelon in the mesh feeder. She made such a mess though that I found it to be easier just to feed it to her with a spoon!
This is Ri with my wonderful cousin Shirley. She's a really important lady in my life. I was finally able to make it to visit with her this summer and she got to meet Rileigh in person for the first time. Rileigh loved her!!
Ri with Emily and Jess, her cousins! My dad had his family reunion recently. We had lots of fun and enjoyed catching up with everyone.

Landon and I with our cousin Brandon.
Our cousin Jen showed Landon all about Daddy Long Legs. He was fascinated by them and enjoyed letting them crawl all over his arms and hands. I don't mind picking them up by their legs but I draw the line at letting them crawl on me *shiver*.
