Spring Break 2012 or as we know it Puke-fest 2012

Again, still no pictures. We have yet to locate the camera cord. I believe it is being held hostage in Joe's office at school. I may have to go break it out soon!


We decided this year for Spring Break to take a quick trip to the cabin. I hadn't seen the completed cabin renovations, so it was a good time to go enjoy the pines and see the changes. We left on Sunday, March 11th...our 17th Wedding anniversary. Wow, 17 years! Hard to believe it has been that long. The trip was uneventful and the cool pines were awesome. We had a fire roaring at the cabin in no time and were enjoying the new room and watching the squirrels out the new back windows.


On Monday we took a trip into Show Low with the idea of some family bowling and lunch. Well that was a total bust. Nothing was open. It seems Show Low was still on winter season schedule. No bowling...no family fun center....and we seemed just too late for any movie. However, we did find a fun new diner to eat lunch at and it was delicious!


We returned to the cabin and started to settle in for the night....


Too bad the black plague was about to descend!


Tyler started puke-fest in the early evening. He puked non-stop for about 4 hours. We were not sure if he was really sick or just having allergy issues. Tyler has a history of puking easily from any minor irritations in his throat. By about midnight he finally settled down.


We were awakened early the next morning by Aaron yelling that Jared was going to throw-up! We made a quick decision to pack it up and take everyone home as quick as we could. I sat in the back next to Jared and held the puke bag as we flew down the mountain. And it was a good thing we flew down the mountain, cause as soon as we got home it hit Joe. He spent the next 6 hours between bed and the bathroom. In the meantime, Tyler was on the mend and Jared had finally stopped puking.


Wednesday was my lucky day. I spent the entire day feeling awful.


Luckily, Thursday was a day of reprieve. Tyler was scheduled to have his tonsils and adenoids out that day. And no one felt bad that morning, a blessing. Tyler's surgery was very good and he is a champ. The doctor was able to remove lots of tissue. Tyler has been healing well and has been enjoying all the milk shakes and Popsicles.


On Thursday evening, Aaron decided he needed to continue Puke-fest for our family. Luckily it was a quick event for him. He slept off most of the symptoms. Friday, Jacob awakened looking green. Puke-fest was wrapping up it's sweep. Jacob spent the entire day moaning and sleeping.


I did take the 3 non-pukers to see The Lorax on Friday morning. We were all ready for something fun for Spring Break! It was a fun movie.


Saturday was our 1st official Puke-free day. And our last day of Spring Break. We had accomplished little and were ready for Puke-fest to be gone. We didn't do much...tried to put the house back together a little.


Not our best "vacation". Hopefully we will never have to do that again!


By the way....in all our adventures I didn't take 1 picture! So don't expect any follow-up pictures about this week!
