Hailey asked to go swimming today (it was warm), and Rich thought putting the slide into the pool would be fun. Wetting down the slide made it even funner. Take a look at my clothes - that was from her previous trip down the slide.

We treasure each chance we get to spend with Hailey. She is growing fast and changing so quickly, we don't want to miss a moment!

Grandma still has the magic

Hailey likes the swings at the lake
