The Riordan Family: More Summer Fun

As summer comes to a close (sniff sniff), I am starting to look back on all the fun things we have done the past few months. Here are a few of them:

The kids had their first lemonade stand and Lily donated the money to Children's Hospital:)

We've had some great summertime storms resulting in beautiful rainbows (terrible picture)

Nicky so graciously got me Sugarland tickets for my birthday so Lily and I could go see one of our favorite bands:) It was on the field at Rimac Arena so everyone brought beach chairs and blankets for a comfy place to watch the show. We arrived early and found a perfect little spot. As we were waiting for things to get started a lady came and plopped down on our blanket and said to Lily, "Hi! I work for Sugarland and we are looking for some help tonight from someone your size". She went on to explain that Lily would be part of the show by getting to go backstage to meet Sugarland (eeekk!!), then go out on stage with Jennifer Nettles where Jennifer would hand her a flag that Lily would walk down into the audience with and then get to keep at the end of the show!! Well, my little lady wanted NOTHING to do with it as she has a fear of "all eyes on her" and I wasn't about to push her to do anything she wasn't comfortable with (even though inside I was dying!) Anyway, we had a wonderful time, the concert was amazing, and as we left Lily said she wishes she would have gone up on stage:) Easier said then done!

We paid our annual visit to the Ramona Fair with some sweet friends and made it out of there without incident:) Thanks for the pics Jessica!


Silly Friends!

We took the kids bowling for the first time...SO much fun! Lily could barely lift the 6 lb bowling ball let alone try to throw it down the lane but nevertheless they had a great time
