Rylee Dawn & Sadie Lee: Our Trip Up North

The weekend before the 4th we packed up and headed up North for a 9 day trip. We went to Wausau first for a few days. The first 30 minutes in the car Rylee was not good at all but then she snapped out of her funk and was good the rest of the trip (thank God- Brad and I were wondering what the heck we were getting ourselves in to.) Sadie was awesome and slept the entire way. We stopped once to eat, woke her up and fed her, and then she went right back to sleep. So the ride up was actually pretty easy. It was the Spindler's first time meeting Sadie and they were very happy to get to meet her. We was a nice weekend with them. We just hung out and relaxed together.

We took Rylee to the park down the street and the horse was her favorite (apparently Brad liked the frog, notice him on the frog in the background).

After Wausau we headed to Marquette for the week. The first few days we were there the weather was terrible (50's-60's and rainy). So we didn't get to go to the beach and do the outdoor things like we wanted to but that's ok. We got a lot of time to hang out with the fam and we made the best of it. One day my mom, Bailey, Vanessa, Quincy, Rylee, Sadie and I went to the Ramada (Vanessa works there) to use the pool. The kids really had fun there.

Rylee insisted on holding her sister by the pool but you would have never known by looking at this picture.

Sadie didn't go swimming but she sure looked cute in her suit.

Vanessa's birthday is June 30th and mine is July 1st. I love that our birthdays are a day after each other. We almost always get to celebrate them together and it just makes it that much more special. We went and got a pedicure together which I think is 3 or 4 years in a row now so its kind of our birthday tradition. My mom had planned on having people over for our party and grilling out but since the weather was bad it got moved inside. She made a huge italian dinner and we had some of our family over to help celebrate. So even though it was probably the coldest birthday I ever remember it was still a fun one and it was great to be with my family.
