A Rough Start to a Very Fun Trip

We had planned to leave for Boise to visit Adam, Nicole, and their girls at their home on the Monday night before Thanksgiving. Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and mr sister Emily and her family we also going to spend the holiday in Boise. We had planned to go as far as Portland and then go the rest of the way Tuesday. After getting all packed up, cleaning the house, and dropping Cooper off at the Cammack's house, it was getting late so we decided to just get up early and go Tuesday morning. At about 11pm, however, we heard the sound of a toilet seat being opened up and Connor throwing up. We have the WORST luck with getting sick, before we are going to travel. I felt so bad for Connor. He is such a tough kid when he is sick. He grabbed a pillow and blanket and just lay himself down in the bathroom. He just wanted to be left alone. He ended up throwing up one more time and then seemed okay in the morning. After speaking to my family we decided to try to make the 9 hr drive and let him recover in the car. We waited until about lunchtime to pack up and go. He had kept food and juice down all morning. We got about 30 minutes south and he threw up in a bucket in the car. Ryan turned right around and we all went home for naps. We all felt better after naps and decided to drive through the night. The drive went very quickly-maybe because the kids and I slept most of the time. Ryan was a great sport. We arrived to Adam and Nicole's around 3am. My prayers were sure answered because Connor healed quickly and no one else got the bug he had. We ended up having a fabulous Thanksgiving. Thanks to Adam, Nicole, Madison, and Avery for having us! The next few posts are some highlights!
