We went to the Cantrelle family Coast house this past weekend to spend time with family, celebrate Andrus' birthday and have a mini vacation. We arrived Friday afternoon and Uncle Matt took Rylee, Danny, Shannon and Andrus on a long boat ride in the Bay. Rylee was beyond excited and Danny and I knew we had to be very cautious with what she did and how she did it with her spleen and low platelets. I tried to remind myself that she is only 8 and just wants to be a kid!!! She fished, swam and jumped into the bay, played on the waterslide and had a BLAST! We had a birthday cake for Danny and Uncle Matt with Andrus and family Friday night. She jumped up Saturday morning at 7:30 to get on the boat and go fishing with Uncle Matt and Danny. The birthday party started at 11:00 and some rain moved in so we all moved into the house but that didn't stop the fun! Between breaks we jumped in the bay and laughed and talked and enjoyed our surroundings.
She loved it when Celia showed up and they were like two peas in a pod together. They stayed up night fishing until about 1:00. She even enjoyed her Uncle C.C.'s girlfriend Amy. She has advised us that she still has to adjust to her, but all in all she gives her two thumbs up. She is very possessive of her godfather and thinks the world of him! Sunday was terrific as well. We watched the soccer game, jumped into the bay like the kids, ate crabs and shrimp and Shannon and I had the beat tear jerking laughs ever. It was bittersweet to leave! Can't wait to do it again. Rylee did get a few bruises due to her very low platelets, but it was worth it just to see her smile and be a kid!!!
