Hidden Cove!

Last night we went to Hidden Cove to continue Riley's birthday celebration. Everyone got to play in a huge bouncy area, drive go karts, go on bumper cars, play mini bowling and slide down a huge slide!

































Aunt Allison made Riley his very own Optimus Prime Transformers cake!

Burley, Chloe and Brian were in the newspaper!

Pups of all ages strutted in the Proud American Days Pet Parade July 25 in New Lenox.

It was the first time entering the parade for Shelby, 4, a lab mix and who came dressed in a hula girl outfit.

Complete in his White Sox T-shirt, Burley, age 11 weeks, was tired after visiting the parade with his owner, Chloe Styx of New Lenox.

Josh and Jenn Romero of New Lenox have made the pet parade a tradition for their dogs, Pepe and Coco.

While owners Marie and John Pavlik of New Lenox were happy to watch all the pooches after their turn in the parade with Lena and Otis.

Riley's 8th Birthday!!!!

I would have to say that Riley had a wonderful 8th birthday! We started his birthday weekend in Michigan and then on his actual day had some family and friends over for dinner and cake. The celebration still will continue with one more adventure that he does not know about this week!! And we can't forget, Riley also got a puppy for his birthday, which he REALLY wanted!!!!
