Oh What a Ride!


A picture is worth a thousand words but... This one needs some explanantion.
The last day of school the kids got checked out early and we headed to Denver. We were flying to Kansas City the next morning to start a very awesome church history vacation.
We stoppeed at Burger King in Rifle to eat some lunch. Brin wasn't hungery and Mal didn't feel good. Cam felt great and very hungery so he hogged down on a cheesebuger and fries.
Mal said she needed to go to the bathroom so I took her and while she was on the pot BLAT! all over the bathroom floor. She and Brin decided after that to go lay down in the van and wait for us.
Oh, I failed to mention that Ty and I had the stomach flu a couple of days before.
As we left BK Bay got some LARGE drink cups. They charged him 5 dollars for 3 cups! He was miffed about that but it was well worth the money! As we were driving along Mal, and Brin took turns barfing into their cups. Cam said he wasn't feeling well and to pass a cup back to him. Well, he spit and gagged into it. I thought he was just wanting to join the barf club. Hyrum kept thinking it was a drink so, I told Cam if he wasn't really going to do anything with it "PASS THE CUP UP" ! Still professing that his stomach was hurting he passed up the cup. We hadn't gone 10 miles when he yelled I THINK I NEED THE BLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAT (that's for you Nat) all over the van floor. We were close to Frisco so pulled into the car wash and cleaned up and shampooed the floor in a rain storm. We went into the convienent store and got 3 more cups. (free this time) Just as we were pulling back onto the road we were stopped at a stop light and BLAT! Brin got the floor. We turned around and went back and cleaned that up too. The cashier at the convienent store gave me 4 more cups. YEAH! The picture is the inventive way Brin came up with to not hear, smell, or see Cam "loose" it.
We made it to the Hyatt with just a few more "episodes" but all that night we had "episodes". The next moring they were feeling a little better but...Gandpa, Bay, Derek, and Nat were all the victims!! ON A PLANE!! UGH!

HAha!I love that picture! You take the funniest pictures!! I'm sorry you all were so sick...we had the same thing last week. It stinks because the more you have in your family the harder it is to get rid of it! We made the rounds with the flu so many times this year. I hate cleaning it up! Hope you enjoyed your trip!
