National Lampoon's Memorial Day Vacation..Part II

Posted in Family

Sorry for the delay... we are trying to set up another computer and I have not had access to this one as much. Hubby needs it for all sorts of technical reasons which me being technically challenged I blindly agree to. :)

 

Anyways, we get to Atlanta without incidence which for us is a major accomplishment. Unfortunatly it is 950 degrees during the day in Hotlanta and we cant go outside from about 6 a.m. to midnight. We decide to brave it around 5p.m. when the children threatened to revolt in my sil's small and beautiful (there are some advantages to being kidless LOL) townhome. So we go outside with our brand new $7.56 slip and slide from Walmart. Of course my sil has a neighbor who lets her dog go wherever and does not clean it up so we spent a good deal of time cleaning up "Fluffy's" droppings. Then we were ready to go. The older two slipped and slided thier way to victory, while Tam was not quite heavy enough to slide to the goal. She would get about half way there and then sort of crawl, which was just funny. Finally she gave up and gave us her redition of So You Think You Can Dance, by doing dance moves down the slide. Even funnier. And of course my manly man little boy hates getting his head wet so he ran around the slide part and just jumped in the pool at the end. There was mud, there was water, there was giggles, and of course four happy little people. That was probably the best part of the trip! At 7 we decided it was time to get dressed and head out for dinner. Now where my sil lives there is this country resteraunt with a buffet that I LOVE! Its real southern food. I was so excited about going there. I noticed my three year old boy acting sluggish and whiny but I thought he was probably over heated and over exerted. We get everyone cleaned up and in the van when I turn around and the three year old is PROJECTILE VOMITING everywhere. We get him inside cleaned up and decide that we will not be dining out tonight... hubby and sil and kids minus Adrian went to Publix and we dined on subs and chicken tenders. Adrian was sick through the night but woke up the next morning bright eyed and semi bushy tailed. All the other kids seemed ok eating breakfast, running around playing so the adults spent time in the A.M talking about things we could do. The next thing I know Kelsie is in front of me in tears. She has just emptied her stomach. Well so much for Sunday. We ended up staying home Sunday and cooking out that night. Then the flies tried to carry Tamara away and we thought we should head back inside. Kelsie seemed to be feeling better by that evening. Monday we packed up and headed home. I realized that I had not been out of the house the whole time. Happy Vacation!

 

All the kids are fine now. No one else got sick. We are planning another trip up there in the fall. Im leaving the kids at home! LOL
