Fun Filled Trip
Last week we had planned to leave on Wednesday to stay with my parents for a few days. Then we planned to be off to a wedding over the weekend followed by another day spent at my parents house before heading home. So, of course last Monday Hailey came down with a cough followed by a fever and runny nose on Tuesday. Wednesday she wasn’t feeling well at all so we decided to wait until Thursday to leave. She acted much better on Thursday, although still not quite herself, and we headed off to my parents house. Her cold seemed to have cleared up but her cough remained. Hailey had been pretty sick back in December after a cold that had a cough that wouldn’t go away and ended up having some bad wheezing, so I was very worried that the same thing would happen.
Anyhoo, I have to share a few pictures of some of the weekend fun. Some of these are pictures from my dad’s camera, but since he hasn’t updated his blog since July of 2007 (gasp… can you imagine?) I don’t think he’ll mind if I post them.

On Friday night we went to a nearby park with my parents, brothers, sister-in-law and aunt to have a picnic to celebrate my dad’s birthday. They have a great toddler playground there which Hailey loved.
On Saturday and Sunday we went out of town to go to my cousins wedding. Saturday was a really long day for Hailey but she did great. By Sunday morning Hailey’s cough was worse, so we had to start giving her breathing treatments. I hate it so much when she has an awful cough like this, it’s just so scary. We still had a wonderful time and I’m going to post pictures from that in a separate post since I have several that I want to share.
On Sunday night when we got back from the wedding we went to pick up Dottie (our dog) and Murray (my parent’s dog). The dogs get to be spoiled rotten at a farm that we take them to, owned by a friend of my moms, whenever we go away. Since it is a farm they stay at Hailey got to see some horses when we went to pick up the dogs.
Hailey wasn’t exactly sure what to think of the horses at first. We’ve looked at plenty of pictures of horses and looked at horses on DVD’s, but to see one in real life is a little different.
She warmed up to the horses after a few minutes and even had a few smiles for the horses. Although she kept calling them cows 
On Monday Hailey enjoyed a nice swim. I could not get a picture of her smiling. Every time I put the camera away she would smile, but she would not smile for the camera at all.
We had a wonderful time! I always love spending time with family and appreciate all of the time we get to spend with them. I’ll be posting pictures from my cousins wedding too, so be sure to check back for those.

Looks like Hailey had a great time. BTW, I love the Hailey and always said I would name my little girl that..if I had one..which I didn’t…3 boys!
Looks as if Hailey was feeling much better, and was having at great time. Seeing the pictures makes me miss my daughters being little, they are now 17 and 20 YIKES!
What a sweetie! Looks like she’s having fun
Looks like you had a fun filled family dad. It looks like Hailey really loves her Daddy too. Great pictures momma.

Great pictures. She looks like she had a blast! Sounds like a fun weekend. And hey, you’re a two time top EC dropper on my blog. I just realized that.
Thanks!

Love the horse pics. She’s such a cutie!
Happy WW!
Sounds like so much fun!
Sounds like a great weekend! Hailey’s such a cutie! Hope she gets better soon – LP is still having these nasty coughs which wake him up in the middle of the night!
Looks like a delightful day out!
Looks like a great trip, and Hailey is a cutey!! We love swimming here at our house too.
Hailey is so beautiful! As a mom of boys, I can really get into the cuteness and sweetness of little girls. She looks adorable in the shot with her grandpa and in the turtle floaty. Looks like, despite being under the weather, she had a pretty good time! Hope she’s feeling better by now.
BTW, the first time I found out I’m afraid of heights was when I tried to ride a horse — what a spaz I was!
It looks like a fun weekend!
