It was a perfect weekend to spend at the beach. The weather was sunny, the food was good, the seagull feeding was fun, and the playing was plenty.
We took a walk to the park and spent lots of time sliding, swinging, and running.
Grandpa and Rylee had so much fun feeding Sammy the seagull (and his friends).
Rylee got to walk on the beach (and we got to try to keep her from running in the water). 
to Grandmother's house we go!
We drove down to Corvallis, OR this weekend to visit Rylee's Grandma J (Lance's mom). The day we got there was nice, so we got to run around and play at the park.
We did lots of walking around town and hanging out in Grandma J's apartment. Rylee absolutely LOVED Grandma's kitty. And surprisingly, the kitty didn't mind her!
She had fun playing with all of Grandma J's bears. She had 3 big bears that Rylee drug around everywhere.
The last day we went to a toy store that had a little play area for kids. Rylee spent an hour tiring herself out. Her favorite toy was this little ladybug she could ride around on. Thanks Grandma for having us over!
We've started taking Rylee to the aquatic center to get ready for the summer. She absolutely loves the water.
She practiced blowing bubbles in the water, dunking her head, floating on her back, swimming with a kickboard, and jumping off the side into Dad's arms.
I think we have a natural! We are going to start her in swimming lessons soon.
They even have a little play area outside the pool. Her and this little boy fought over driving this boat (you can see who won and is so proud of herself)!
Today Rylee and I went to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle with our friends Michelle and Maddie. 
Rylee had so much fun running around, touching everything, and watching butterflies.
It's so much fun having friends with babies too! What a fun day.
Yesterday we took advantage of the rainy day and headed down to the Seattle Aquarium. Rylee loves watching fish so we thought she would enjoy looking at and interacting with all the cool sea life there.
Little did we know, her favorite things would be 1. her own stroller (climbing all over it but refusing to sit in it), 2. The blue lights that lit up a dark hallway, 3. A window that had holes she could put her hands through (meant to look out at the salmon ladder), and 4. running around in circles through the big open spaces.
She wasn't into touching the water (or the starfish or sea life in it), which I was surprised about because typically she wants to touch everything!!! Oh well, maybe she'll be more into it this summer when she's a little older.
All in all, it was a good day for all. We ended the day with a little dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. This baby LOVED all the fun treats she got- the cheesy bread, applesauce, ravioli, and ice cream!!!
