K's vacation Tue.


Tuesday we took K, Bug and a family friend C to Silverwood for the day. It was a great thing we took C with us because, Bug ended up with a huge headache and spent most of the day laying down in the EMT's room taking a nap.
We started out over in the water park, but it was still a little chilly out, we tried one of the tube rides and Bug said it was to cold, then we tried out a bigger tube ride that we could all do together and Bug was still to cold, so I let the girls take off and go ride the slides together and Bug and I went to the wave pool to play while the waves were turned off, (he doesn't like to waves). When Bug got out he mentioned he had a headache and kept saying how cold he was. So when we met up with the girls, they went in the wave pool and Bug laid out in the sun to warm up, then we had lunch go dressed and headed over to the rides. Bug was still cold so I put my sweatshirt on him.
We decided to start out on the roller coaster, since Bug had decided to try it again this year and C had never been on one. Everything was fine until it started and then almost immediately Bug started crying that his head hurt, but after it starts your out of luck. By the time the ride was over he was practically hysterical crying how his head hurt. We went to check if they had any medicine we could give him but they only had adult strength.

So I sent the girls off to ride the rides and went to try and get back to the water park , so I could get my phone and call Don to see what he thought about giving him one of the adult strength pills. Unfortunately Bug is heavy so we kept having to stop, we ended up getting about half way back when we wouldn't let me move him again, luckily one of the staff boys came by and asked if he was OK and I asked him to go get the EMT. So that is how Bug spent most of the day in the EMT's room. He ended up taking a nap, drinking some Gatorade and eventually taking one adult pill of ibuprofen. By 3:30 he was up and starting to feel more chipper, I got him a stroller and pushed him around for the afternoon (and also K at times).


While I was dealing with all that the girls had a blast, they rode every roller coaster at the park, plus the Panic Plunge and the brand new roller coaster Aftershock, which goes up to 65.6 MPH and has 3 inversions. After we all met back up and Bug was feeling better K convinced me to go ride it with her. It is very fast, I kept my eyes shut the whole time, which definitely improved the ride.
The rest of the day went fine C and I climbed the rock wall, Bug got to go on some rides and we all went on the Paratrooper. We left a little after 7 and stopped and had pizza on the way home. We ended up getting home a little after 9, so it was a long day. Kind of stressful for me but the girls had a blast and Bug ended up having fun in the end.

A day at the fair.

Image
We had a busy day today! 1st we tried to get a little schoolwork done, then Bug and I headed to our church for "Breakaway". This is a time for all the moms to get together once a month. We get to spend some time in prayer, some time talking and getting to know one another a little better and of course spend sometime eating, because when can a big group of women get together and there not be food involved. It was a lot of fun and they have changed the format somewhat this year, so it should be interesting. After Breakaway we headed to the fair and met Blue. Bug had such a blast riding the rides. He is of course now more that big enough for all of the kiddie rides, he even branched out and rode on some of the bigger rides in the afternoon. He was a little nervous at 1st so I told him to ask this girl if he could sit be her. Of course she said yea and you can see him chatting her up in the 1st pic. (If he stays as outgoing as he is now his teen years should be a breeze. ha ha ...

No Bug for the week

This week Bug is going to a VBS at a local church, it runs from 9-3. Which is very nice in a way but also very strange. I took him in this morning and hung out with him for a few minutes while he got adjusted, then I went to the grocery store. Which was all fine but when I had to pass back by the church to head home it felt weird not having him, then all day at home I went back and forth between enjoying my time getting things done around the house and checking to see if it was time to pick him up yet. I got there to pick him up about 15 min early and waited around anxiously, when he finally came out he looked so tired, he seemed to have a good time but he did say "they sang for HOOUURRRS" and did not get to go out and play on the playground, but he is looking forward to going back tomorrow. This will be a strange week without him home all day. But it will be good practice for him because he will be going to a campfire day camp in a couple of weeks where he will be picked up ...

Friends at last

My buddy Kat and her girls ended up coming to town after all. They got in at 1:30 this morning. We all got up around 9:00 and spent the day shopping, playing in the fountain at the park downtown, riding the sky ride, then we went and got Mani/Pedi's, so fun! Tomorrow we are headed out to the water park for the day. Yea! It is so nice to have her over, she even dyed my hair for me this eve. I think it turned out cute, it's hard to tell for sure until you wash and style it the way you normally do. It only took me just short of 3 years to get her to come over and visit me, but with all her complaints about the drive I am sure it will be another 3 years before she comes back, but I sure am happy that she is here now. Our bad news for the day is that our oven went kaput. My husband was cooking up Lasagana and it was taking forever. I checked on it and mentioned that the oven didn't feel very hot and so when he checked it 15 min later he realized that the element went out on it. ...
