Rylee in her swimsuit for the first time...what a beauty!

Swimming in the big pool!

In her new tube from Gramma and Auntie Bailey

Of course she found a part on the tube that she could chew.

She loved floating in her tube!

SMILE!

I don't think her smile could get any bigger than that!

"Ugghh...do I have to get out of the pool?"

All cozy in her robe but she could have stayed in that pool all night long!

We met my entire family in Saginaw for the weekend. We picked Saginaw cause it's close to being a halfway point and Birch Run is close by, which is a huge outlet mall. Friday night we just hung out at the hotel together and ordered pizza. Saturday we went shopping for most of the day which is always an adventure when we all go. It was fun and of course we all found some good deals. Jaclynn, Maddy and their neighbors Sara and Ben drove up and met us at the mall too. We only got to see them for about an hour but a short visit is better than no visit. Saturday evening my family all went back to the hotel to swim. It was Rylee's first time in the pool and she looked so darn cute! We were all so excited to see her in the pool. She loved it! We figured she would because she has loved her baths from day 1. Rylee was in the pool with us the whole night, and she probably could've even stayed in there longer. She went back and forth from the pool to the whirlpool and never once cried. My mom and Bailey bought her a turtle floaty and she had so much fun floating around in that thing. It will be great for the pool this summer. We all had a lot of fun Saturday night. Unfortunately, Sunday wasn't so much fun. We had split up the hotel rooms with the 5 girls in one room and the boys in the other. Sunday morning at around 4AM Bailey woke up and threw up in bed. About an hour later Vanessa got sick...and about another hour after that my mom got sick. I felt so bad for them and felt terrible that they probably got it from me. I had the stomach flu the weekend before but didn't think I was still contageous, but apparently I was. So Sunday was quite a bummer. Us girls had planned on going to Target to work on Vanessa's baby registry but obviously we weren't able to do that. They just had to lay around in the room (and all take turns using the bathroom) til we all got on the road. There was terrible weather on Sunday too, they had to drive home through a blizzard. The good thing is they are all home safe and sound now, feeling better, and we had a great time together Friday and Saturday.
