I don't even know where to begin.
Our trip was great-in some ways.
There is waaaay too much to write, so I will put the basics.
If I on't do it this way, it will be a book-no kidding. We had so many mishaps, it actually became funny.
1. We fly in on a Sat. afternoon-all is well.
2. Sunday we visited a very nice park, which had rides and all kinds of fun things to look at. The park even had a really cool HUGE Red Flyer Wagon!! It was a jungle gym, the wagon. I took pics and will post them soon.
Sunday night Kevin starts sneezing
3. Monday Kevin is worse and Lila has a bad cough
We were in my Mom's nice basement..carpet, tv, couches,bathroom, bedroom...BUT, we had been having a heat wave of 100 degree weather..so Mom had the A/C on ALL night-in the basement-which is COOL and underground. FREEZING! Felt like winter, almost. Figured out the A/C had been blowing on Lila all night.
4. Tuesday, Kevin is sneezing and wheezing and finally took some Benadryl.
5. We leave for Cour d'Alene--check into our hotel, Lila is really bad...coughing and sounding like she has pneumonia. Savvy has been sneezing some.
We check out the hotel, cozy in our room, and watch some Olympics--seeing as though a few of us were out of it. Starts raining....
6. Next day we take Lila and Savvy to a pediatrician in town. Lila checks out ok and Savvy too-Thank God! We were surprised, if you had heard Lila's cough you might be too.
We get back from the Dr. and Savvy starts projectile vomiting. On our bed, on her clothes, etc...
still raining HARD!
7. Next day (Thursday?) Kevin takes D&J bowling while Lila, Savvy and I mostly rest...still cold out, so inside we stay. Kevin comes back from bowling and says he thinks he might have broken his wrist! He went to bowl a ball and he slipped on something slimy! He said it looked like something they might have cleaned the floor with. SO he can't move his wrist--I can see some serious swelling. We get a bucket of ice and he ices it. Next day his wrist is stiff and painful.
8. Friday we actually met up with some people from San Diego that were up their visiting. A girl Daisy goes to school with. Nice people.
9. Saturday, our anniversary. It was a loooong day..but we had our Champagne and Strawberries delivered to our hotel room that evening, which was nice.
Keep in mind, Savvy is still waking every 2-3 hours--agghhhh!!!! All of us, all 6 of us in ONE room!!
10. Sunday, we go back to Mom's in Spokane (30 min. drive)...Kevin decides to stay in a hotel a mile from my Mom's and I planned to stay there too...BUT, wanting to spend some quality time with Mom AND NOT wanting to stay in a hotel room again with 6 people total...I decided to stay at my Mom's with Savvy, while Kevin stayed with the kids...well...here's how that went. (He was really fine with that, btw).
Sunday evening all is well...
Monday evening, my Mom and I are blowing up balloons for Lila's bday party the next day. The phone rings, my Mom says "private number" and I said "Answer it"...that ring just didn't sound right. Well, Kevin was on the other end saying Lila just hit Joshua in the head with 'something' and she wouldn't say what it was and Kevin thought he might need stitches. So my Mom and I take her car and go down the street (about a mile) with Savvy and I in the back seat...her car seat is in our rental, at the hotel, so I am holding her on my lap-Blah!!
Kevin says Joshua had blood all over his face and that his wound was open. So we are freaking!
We get there and it's not as bad as we thought...although, she hit him pretty hard! Daisy and Joshua never hit each other-so this is new to us...yuk! My Mom butterfly-bandaged him and he ended up being fine. Kevin was WHEEZING real bad and almost went to the E.R. himself--forget Joshua! Kevin had been in my Mom's house earlier that day for a couple hours and his allergies started up again. I was really getting worried at that point! He ended up being fine...
then Tuesday we had Lila's 3rd birthday party, which was fun-except the part where she peed her pants (or dress) right when people were arriving.
Plane ride home next day...get home..TIRED, it's 11:30pm when I get out of the shower and brush my teeth...and guess who wants some action? Yup! You guessed it, no need to say more--you've ALL been there, I just know it!
By the way, Dr. says he chipped something in his wrist, so he will be seeing an Orthop. Dr. soon!!
Talk more later...

6 people sounds loooovely. Glad you're home safely!
I meant in one room. 6 people in one room...
ok so when is the next vacation planned? I bet you guys will never top that one and years from now will laugh until your belly hurts about the 2008 summer family vacation.
oh goodness! Glad you survived. I am too scared to take my entire family on vacation like that! You're awesome!
