Sort of at the last minute (with my dr's approval) we decided to drive up to Hurricane, Utah to meet up with my parents and my sister Debbie's family. After an eventful drive, we made it and had a great, relaxing time. On Friday, all the girls went shopping (I never get to do that, so fun!!) and the dads took the kids to a local fishing hole--with no success but fun was had by all. Saturday my sister's family left and I was feeling a little 'fluish' so my mom helped me take care of the girls while David and my dad went golfing. A great trip with great company and great food of course!
Throwing a football in the yard--a Thanksgiving must
Uncle Lynn made amazing pancake animals!!
Sunday morning we woke up to SNOW! I got Cyrena up and made her close her eyes until I got her to the window--she was SO excited!
Oh, you want to know more about the eventful drive?? Here you go:Just outside of Vegas, we were pummeled by a huge, styrofoam fist....yep a styrofoam FIST. We think it was an event prop of some sort. Anyway, it flew out of someone's truck, hit one car then flew through the air and landed on our roof then bounced onto our hood. Then 2 other cars hit it until it finally came to rest near the median. It was almost as tall as David-crazy. The Highway Patrol had to come and make a report so that took over an hour for all 4 cars that were affected. Our car had the most damage of course, it looks awful and now the passenger door sticks. Oh, and the driver of the truck that it flew out of drove off never to be seen again so we have to pay a $500 deductible because it's labeled an accident with an uninsured motorist. Icing on the cake.
In the middle of all this, Natalie threw up. We've never had a child throw up on a drive before....not fun to clean up while we're on the shoulder of a busy freeway. She threw up 2 more times before we finally made it to my parent's Hurricane home. We don't know what was wrong with her. I did remember later that she had eaten part of a crayon when she was bored in the car...
A couple days later she said "my tummy hurts, throw up, need bowl me" She was just joking and oh how it made me laugh! She's such a silly girl.
The drive home Sunday was completely and utterly normal, thank goodness.

Sounds like a fun vacation. Minus Natalie throwing up & hitting a huge fist of course.
Throwing up in the car is, in my humble opinion, the absolute worst! I speak from way too much experience int he vomit arena. I would prefer it all over the house as opposed to inside the car, especially when you still have a long drive ahead of you. Poor baby. I am glad she is feeling better.
Oh I'm so glad you are all okay! Whew what a ride! Miss your family!!
YIKES bizarre. Dan was hit and runned (?) at our kiddo's baseball game tonight. He's so ticked.
Wow, that one will go down in history! How many people can say they've been hit by a giant styrofoam fist?! I laughed, but it would be scary at the moment! Glad you made it there and home safely.
How fun that you didn't have to drive so far to spend time with your family. Styrofoam fist? That is so odd. I thought thing popping up along the freeway and causing accidents only happened to me. :) Glad you made it home safely.
