Riley's definition of heaven: Space. Lots of it.

Another highlight of our trip, for Riley at least, was all the room to roam at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Her favorite activity was disappearing quietly into random rooms and giggling hysterically once we (finally) found her.

I guess that's called hide and seek.

The runner-up activity, pictured below, was exploring in the backyard, especially around the stream.

Least favorite activity? Hanging out on the patio in the hot summer sun. ("Ot! Ot!") In one short year, our little Texan has lost her tolerance for heat. (But so have we. It's nice to be home!)
