Poor Chandler, not feeling well!!
Jenna went out of town with Lyman for a little get away and I took the kids.  They happen to be out of town for Dylan's Birthday so we had to make it special for him.  So the plan started he wanted to go to Fat Cats, so we were going to do that the day of his Birthday, but then Leslie called and of course she can talk me into anything, so she talked me into coming up to Bear Lake with the kids for a few days and promised she would help out since Jason wouldn't be able to go since he had to work.  So yup, we left Wed afternoon, and ventured to Bear Lake, we had a great ride up stopping at Maverick for drinks and Winco for treats.  We played our music game and sung almost the whole way, it was a lot of fun.  We stayed the night and the next morning headed for the beach, I made it easy and did cereal for breakfast and I never do that, since camping food is my favorite.  We headed for the beach and wasn't prepared for what would happen that is for sure.  As we were leaving Chandler said his stomach hurt, he ran to the bathroom, but I didn't think much more of it.  We went to the beach at the north end since not much beach at Rainbow Cove since the water was so high.  Chandler fell asleep for quite a while and then got up and we had lunch and then he went into the water, but not for too long, which is not normal as he is a little fish.  When he came up from the water he had sand all over him, so I told him to go in the water and get it off but he wouldn't he just sat on the sand and got more sand on him.  He sat there for a while then I go up and was going to help him and he said he pooped.  Oh no I said and checked and sure enough he did, so then he really needed to clean up.  I know this is gross, but what do ya do.  I took him out to the water and with Curt's help after we finally got him out there we got him all cleaned up for the most part, we brought him up to the beach and made a cover for him by holding up towels and took his suit off and then I went to rinse it off, I got it all rinsed off and came back and he then started to throw up and then also poop at the same time, thank goodness for the sand we were able to cover it all up and we got buckets of water and just dumped on him to rinse him off.  So what do we do now?!?  Curt went to see if he had a diaper in the car, but he didn't, but he did come up with a diaper we cut up the sheet Leslie had that she was just going to throw away  now since it was all gross with throw up and poop on and Curt got a black garbage bag and cut it up and we used duck tape to tape it together.  What creativity and Leslie said she would help us I don't think they thought they would help in this way.  We were going to go to Bear Lake Pizza, but ended up deciding to go back to camp instead as we didn't know how Chandler would be and didn't want to chance him  not making it to the bathroom again.  When we got back to camp I got him all cleaned up and what happen again?  Yup you got it he threw up again.   At that point Isabel was crying saying lets go home the other kids didn't want to go home, and I just didn't know what to do since the garbage and throw-up bag was right by him and he missed both and got it all over himself and the ground.  I didn't how he would be in the night and didn't want to have to clean up in the trailer or tent.  Isabel called her parents and I then decided lets just go home.  Dad couldn't meet us 1/2 way so some of us could stay and so I just decided lets all go.  The others were not happy, but after throwing and I mean really throwing everything in the trailer, hooking up and praying I hooked it up right covering the front and back seat and areas Chandler would be sitting just in case he had more accidents we headed for home.  We stopped for some dinner and Chandler only got a Coke just in case.  We made it home in one piece with no accidents and since we didn't get to stay another night we still had Dylan's Birthday the next day to make special!!  So since he originally wanted to go to Fat Cats that is where we got to go.  I had gotten Angel Food Cake with Strawberries for camping for his birthday, so we had that for breakfast, nice and healthy right!!!  We headed to Fat Cats and did a round of bowling, mini golf, then had to go watch the sky divers upstairs too.   It ended up being a fun week even thought Chandler did get sick.  I am not sure we will be invited camping again for a while.  J/K  It was an adventure we will all remember for a long time for sure.  I felt so bad for Chandler for being sick and glad he was feeling better and now have a hint of how it is having a handicap child age 13 that is like a 2 or 3 year old.  I knew how it was before, but now I know completely.  I know my sister would have done it for me, so I would do it again if I had to.

Sammy & Wars

ImageImage



Thank goodness for the neighbors dog that way we don't have to get a dog.  Well I would never give in to getting one anyway.  Brylee loves every chance she gets to play with Sammy when she is out!!  Another neighborhood thing the kids love to do is Air-soft Wars, it is lots of fun, minus all the pellets all over afterwards, but at least they had fun!!

Brylee Lovin' it!!
In the past we had been out of town or always had something going when they had West Haven Days, so it was fun doing the parade and also going to the park for a little while and then the fireworks that night.  Next year we will do the ATV Rodeo we hear that was a blast, and even some rodeo events we will venture as well.

Ogden Parkway

Our new favorite thing to do now that Brylee can ride a bike good is going to Ogden Parkway and riding bikes.  We have done it a few times and it is a lot of fun.  Brylee is a trooper and even does the big steep hill to the pond on 21st street.  And of course sometimes we detour a block to Farr's for a treat.  Jason's favorite is Licorice with Grape Ambrosia, My new favorite is Pistachio or Grape Ambrosia, Tanner loves the Moose Tracks,  and Brylee is not too picky, most the time she would say Play Dough, but she also loves Grape Ambrosia too.

It has been a long time since I had done this!!


Thanks to RAMP Free days we checked out the free day at the BSA Ropes Course.  It was a lot of fun, but the only thing that we could do was the rock climbing.  The kids were all too young to do the ropes course, it looked really hard and the people we saw do the ropes course all were struggling.  The kids didn't care that we could only do rock climbing.  We went with the Oliver's and had a great time. We were glad we went early and were the first ones in line as I heard it got pretty busy. The kids got to go up at all angles since it wasn't as crowded when we were there.  I think Tanner and Ashley had the best time. 

Indoor Picnics

Image

Image
Rainy Days, Lazy Days, or just because we like to do picnics in the living room and watch a movie.  This particular day we got Breakfast Burritos and Drinks from Maverick and watched a movie together.  The kids love it and I do too, because usually it means no cooking, easy clean up, and chill time!!!

Look-a-likes

No we have not added to our family, as much as the kids would LOVE a little sister their wishes have not come true!!  Navi was in town for a few days while her mom, dad, and brother went to Lake Powell, so we got to watch her a day.  The kids haul her all around until she doesn't want them even touching her.  Everyone always says that Brylee and Navi look a like.  What do you think?!?  Someone even said to me that she could be mine she looks so much like me.  I would take her if I could, but I am happy to call her my niece and love her visits.  When I took her back to my parents that night she even cried when I left, it made me remember when my kids were little and it made me feel so bad, but a second after I walked out the door she was fine.  Love you Navi Beans!!!
