Family Camp Out

It was that time a year again where we all go to Palisade's Park and have the Family Camp Out with Tony's mom's side of the family. We left on Friday and came back on Sunday. Tyler was not feeling good at all on Friday and it was basically miserable for all of us. He would just cry and their was nothing that would make him stop. He wouldn't eat, he didn't really want to play. At first we thought it was just teething (of course he is getting two more teeth on the bottom), but then it was way too much crying just for teething. So then we thought maybe his legs hurt, like growing pains. I was going nuts. I just couldn't handle not being able to help him and make the pain stop. So I started getting emotional and frustrated, so Tony took him to the Walmart in Ephraim (good times) and got some Tums and other things that he thought would help. When they got back Tyler was still really unhappy so Tony decided to give him a blessing.
 After the blessing he took some Motrin and drank a bottle and he was then a very happy boy. He played and played in the tent. But once he finally got to sleep he woke up 4 times during the night just crying. Tony had to take him for a drive to calm him down...after a long day and night he had a poop and felt much better. So all that and the main problem (we think) was that he was constipated. So he drank lots of juice that next day and some more bottle and he was a lot happier. He still didn't eat very well the rest of the time that we were there, so we decided to go home early on Sunday. Good thing we did because he slept all the way home (2 hours) and then later that afternoon he slept another 3 hours. He really needed to just be home and get some rest.
Tyler is doing great today. He ate his normal breakfast of oatmeal, fruit, and yogurt and then we played all morning and now he is down for his nap. It is really hard to see your child in pain and not being able to do anything. I am so grateful for Tony and his ability to stay calm when things like that happen. I am definitely a woman, so emotional.
Besides Tyler's issues the camp out was lots of fun. It is always fun to hang out with family that you don't see very often. The kids got to play in the water, go on walks, play with the doggies, Tony played horse shoes (and did pretty darn good for only playing once a year), and much more. It was great to see everyone, but it is also great to be home.
