What A Week!

This week has not been too exciting for us, but looking back, kind of humerous. My friend and I are both 33 weeks pregnant so we decided it would be great to take the girls 6 hours to the coast to stay at a trailer her family owns, it's much cooler over there. We planned on leaving Monday but Sunday night Allyson was throwing up all night. By monday afternoon she was fine so we figure it's food poisoning. Tuesday, we all pile in the car last minute and head off. Everything runs really smooth until that night. Allyson starts throwing up again and in a small trailer no one gets good sleep. Especially since she needed a bath and the shower/bathroom is all the way across a backyard, (which is difficult enough when you are pregnant and have to go to the bathroom every five minutes). The next day we are really tired but feeling better. But Jenn and I under-estimated our energy levels. So by Thursday we high tailed it out of there a few days early. About 35 miles from home, Emily threw up all over the car, she was in the very back of my moms van so we're pulled over on the highway with cars flying by, cleaning up. Today she is fine, thankfully, but it was crazy. I don't think I've ever been so happy to be home. The girls were even happy when we cut the trip short, which means it really wasn't meant to be! Redding may be super hot but sitting in the kiddy pool while the girls happily play is much easier! And by the way, isn't it June? Aren't stomach bugs supposed to be during the winter?!

That's one trip I can honestly say I'm glad I wasn't on. Better luck next time. Oh yeah, you'll be with 6 kids. You'll need another trailer!

VERY UNFORTUNATELY, there probably wont be a next time due to the 6 kids. Oh yeah, we have intentions of leaving the 6 with daddys or nanas and the two of us escaping. :)

Sometimes a good idea (Road Trip)is just meant to never happen! But look at all the new and different scenery that you got to see! Life experiences, you never know what God has in store for you...and the big question here is WHY!!! LOL Love Aunt Leslie B.
