A wonderful spring break! Why did it have to end?

Cousin Rileigh had last week off for Spring break and we took advantage of getting Maya and her together. They absolutely love hanging out with each other. This is a recap of what took place........

LAST SUNDAY EVENING:
We had dinner at my parents house. After dinner, Rileigh challenged Uncle Stewart to a game of yahtzee. Maya was very patient just watching until------
she thought it was her turn.

The game all came down to Stewart's last roll. In the end, he needed a yahtzee to win. Guess what? He rolled a yahtzee...unbelievable! Even though Rileigh didn't win, she still had a good time.

ON TUESDAY:
Auntie Jen brought Rileigh over to our house to play with Maya.
Rileigh asked Maya what she wanted to do. Maya said, "slide downstairs." They went downstairs, but ended up playing Row Boat. That means Maya gets in a laundry basket and someone pushes her around. Rileigh had no idea that she would end up doing so much work! Pushing Maya around is a real workout! (If I can say so myself, this is an adorable picture!)

ON FRIDAY:
My mom and I took Rileigh and Maya to another indoor park to burn some energy.
Maya played with the doll house. She kept hitting the door saying, "knock, knock."

When I knocked on the window, she opened the shutters and said, "hello momma."

While I was playing with Maya at the doll house. Mom was watching Rileigh on the big trampoline. Check out the height she was getting!

Then Maya saw that Rileigh was jumping and she wanted a turn. Rileigh helped Maya out. For a short time, I think Maya was a little overwhelmed.

But, it didn't take long until Maya was having the time of her life. We almost had to pry her off! When we were leaving she said, "more jumping with Rileigh."

THEN ON SATURDAY:
Uncle Rob and Rileigh met us at OMSI.
Uncle Rob didn't believe Stewart and I, when we told him that her favorite thing to do these days is wash hands. While all of us where playing in the discovery room, Maya and Uncle Robbie were washing hands. Honestly, she must have been there for over ten minutes! We kept hearing her say, "more soap, wash hands." Uncle Rob finally had to say, "enough, your hands are very clean!" We all just kind of laughed.

After playing and having a fun time, it was time to eat and then go home. Even though Maya has an animal cracker in her mouth, this is still a cute picture. On the car ride home, Maya said, "bye, bye Uncle Robbie, bye, bye, Rileigh."

Thanks Rob for letting us spend so much time with Rileigh this past week. We had a GREAT time together. It just makes Stewart and I sad to know that Maya's other first cousins all live on the East Coast and don't get to see them that often. We miss you Hannah, Em and David! Hope we get to see you guys soon.
