Ryan's Room and Cousin Ivan

Last weekend was incredibly busy and fun for the Poland household. Cousin Ivan came over on Friday night while Aunt Lori and Uncle Mike celebrated 4 years of marriage (Happy Anniversary Lomax's!) Mallory adores Ivan and loves watching him. He is a very active little boy and always has a lot to do. This is ideal for Mallory - she can just sit and watch him go, go, go.

In addition to Ivan coming over, Aunt Erin and Uncle Todd came into town. Wouldn't you know, Aunt Erin brought Mallory a gift...a rather large gift. Introducing, "Ryan's Room." Who Ryan is, I am not sure, but that is the name of the toy - if you would even call it a toy, it is more like a play house with tunnels. "Ryan's Room" consists of two play houses (one looks like a house, the other like a small tent) and then two tunnels (one connecting the house and tent, and one leading out of the fort). Mallory was slightly intimidated by the giant toy, but Ivan LOVED it. He was crawling through the entire thing over and over as Mallory watched. It was pure chaos and so much fun. Aunt Erin began chasing Ivan through the fort and she quickly became his new buddy.

Later in the weekend, when Ivan had gone home, we did get Mallory to sit in the tent and even crawl through one of the tunnels once it was detached. In good time she will use the whole thing, but for now, the tunnel is her favorite part.
Where is Ivan going?
There he is!

Now, what do I do now that I am in here?

I think Ivan had so much fun that night. I am pretty sure he did not want to come home! BTW-I love Mallory's bib in the first picture :) She must have one special aunt!
