We have been in Florida for the past week and it has proved to be NOT THE GREATEST of trips. It started off with arriving 2 days prior to our check in date. How in the world did we do that???? There were NO rooms left at the resort for us to even pay $200 a night till our Sunday check in. Thankfully, Don's uncle Kenny lives in Orlando and welcomed us in with open arms - - all 6 of us! I declare his aunt and uncle as saints because they took our little, ok, not so little and not so tame family in without much hesitation at all. Saturday we headed off to a day at the beach and had a blast. Kobly was not scared at all and ran right out into the waves with Trent and mastered body boarding in no time flat. Tanner amazed us as well. He was such a trooper and even did some body boarding and didn't freak out when he would wipe out. Brooklyne, she was the one who DID surprise us. She is a total fish in the water, but man, at the beach, she was a scared chicken and didn't want to have anything to do with the ocean - that is, until we were getting ready to leave. After getting back from the beach, Don's cousins come over to meet up with us for a yummy dinner fixed by Aunt Margaret. On Sunday we got up and got ready to head out to church. As we were loading up in the van to head to church, I noticed that Kolby was burning up. YUP, sure enough, he was running a fever. So after sacrament meeting we headed back to the house.
So as you can see, this was just the start of a very long vacation week/1o days. So far we have:
- oops wrong check in date.
- had to find a different place to stay for 2 days - thank you Uncle Kenny and Aunt Margaret
- got a funny burn from the beach
- 1 sick Kolby -- 105 temps.
Still to come . . .
- Kolby goes the the doctor, he has a bad infection
- still have not gone back to the beach
- several storms that have rolled thru
- a sick Tanner
- a sick Brooklyne
- 3 kids with 3 separate infections and 8 different meds equaling the need for a chart to keep track of WHO gets WHAT and WHEN.
- 3 shopping trips that all end up in a BUST.
- me getting lost trying to go to the outlets by myself.
- I think I will be getting a $100 fine for a tole road I think I went on but it was a NO CASH tole road.
- the last day of vacation,,,, all kids are finally acting mostly normal, but alas, we have rain.
Picture to come later ---- well, not a lot of pictures because we have not been able to do much.
