On Tuesday Riley hit the big 4 mo. mark. Not a usual milestone for celebration, but we figured we bombard a post with pics from her last four months anyway.

As part of our trip back to Utah for the break we decided to actually get away by staying at the Zermatt Resort in Midway. I know what you're thinking. "Midway huh?...... Nice getaway." Well this place was pretty sweet.

This was the view from our balcony...
And this is a view of our balcony.
Riley also got to go on her first carousel ride.
Even going for a walk was really nice with a stream, pond, and mountains in the background.
There were lots of delicious looking things in the bakery. I wish I could tell you how good, but we forgot to buy something before we left. We did try the gelato though. mmmmm
The only thing I wondered about was the goats. In the evening they seemed to become possessed.

Grandpa Tom came to Denver to meet little Riley. He took the train from Sacramento to Denver where we picked him up at Union Station. After a relaxing trip with beautiful scenery, he was ready to meet his new grandaughter. Riley sat on Grandpa's lap and smiled while he talked and played with her. We barbequed hamburgers, made homemade guacamole, and ate ribs, strawberry shortcake, blueberry coffee cake, fruit salad, artichokes, Costco chicken and lots of chips. We also made sure to get in our afternoon naps. Grandpa Tom has to leave tomorrow morning. The time flew by! Hopefully Grandpa Tom can come out and visit us again soon! Here are some pictures of Riley and her favorite Grandpa.

This lightning storm lasted for about an hour last night. It was far enough away that we could just sit out on our porch and enjoy it.



I spent way too much time trying to take a picture of lightning striking.



And because we need a pic of Riley I thought this one was fitting. Just think of Riley singing Thunderstruck by ACDC. Da na na nahhh na na nahh na na Thunder
