We got into Bend on Saturday afternoon. Tony and I drove in the big moving truck the first half of the trip. It was really big and Tony did a good job driving it. Margie and Lloyd went in her car with our kids. Josh got a bad case of the car sickness and threw up three times while driving with Margie and Lloyd. I felt kind of bad for them, but Josh did a really good job of throwing up in the cup I keep next to him.
We switched drivers on the second half, after lunch, so Nate was back with Lloyd in the big truck and Margie was back with Amy. It was amazing how cold it was when we stopped for lunch. It was a good 30 degrees cooler from Boise. We did get some rain on the drive, but it wasn't too bad.
When we got into Bend we were quite a ways ahead of the moving truck. We tried to checking into our hotel, but our rooms were not ready for us yet, so we decided to go walk around Costco for a while.
I found some jammies for Tyler that were discounted and some caramel popcorn stuff, so I'd say that trip to Costco was a success. The hotel called us as we went to our car (perfect timing) so we headed back over there to check in to our rooms.
We got all unpacked and then headed over to Nate and Amy's new house. Their realtor came and let us into the house so that we could see it since we wouldn't be there when they actually move into the house because it wasn't ready yet for them.
Their house was super cute and they had some neighbors come over and talk with us and them. It seems like a really nice place to live and I think that they are really going to love it. I sure hope they do.
After we saw the house we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. It was pretty good food and we all had a fun time. After dinner we went back to the hotel to get ready for bed. Nate and Amy went back to Nate's rented apartment where they'll be staying until their house is ready in about a week.
On Sunday we got up and had some breakfast before getting ready for church. I started not feeling very good while I was eating breakfast. I just felt nauseated and my stomach was cramping. I still wanted to go to church so we all got ready to go and drove over the Nate and Amy's ward. We were there pretty early and were greeted by many very nice ward members.
About the time they were passing the sacrament I really started feeling bad. Megan was being noisy and so was Allie so we took the girls in the hall and I decided to have Tony take me back to the hotel. Oh, this was Father's Day too. Poor Tony had to deal with me getting sick and no help to him at all on Father's Day. Such a great guy.
I went back to the hotel and just laid in bed feeling super bad. After church Tony and the kids came back to change and offered to pick me up some medicine and crackers. I was thankful for the offerings and really just stayed in bed the rest of the day. I had a couple of the crackers but really didn't eat anything the whole day. It just didn't help to eat and I was having some major stomach cramping. I was so cold, but hot too. It was just not fun.
Grandma took Grandpa to the airport after sacrament and she took Allie with her so that gave Tony a little break. Allie got in a good nap on the drive so that worked out good for everyone.
The rest of the family ate some lunch while they picked up my goods and then took the kids to the park. They told me that the kids loved the park so much and had so much fun. They loved it so much that we went back to that same park the next day (Monday morning).
Tony came and checking on my before they all went to dinner. I was still not up for leaving my bed, so they went on without me.
It was about six or so that evening that I started feeling like I was on the mend and things were starting to look up a little.
After dinner they came back and got on their jammies and got ready for bed. Megan and the boys wanted to sleep in Grandma's room, so it was just Tony, Allie, and I in our room. We really didn't want to put Allie in our bed since I had been sick in it all day. We didn't want her to get what I had. So we put Allie in the pull out sofa bed and us in the King bed.
Monday morning I was still achy but feeling so much better then I did before. Tony said that he was having tummy troubles since 1:00 am that morning. That was not good. Luckily the Pepto really seemed to help him and he didn't get it near as bad as I did.
After some breakfast we met up with Nate, Amy, and the kids and all went back to the super fun playground so the kids could show me all the fun things that they did the day before.
Tyler loved doing all the Ninja Warrior-type things. He loves those things and does a really good job. He climbed the rock wall "like a boss" and was just amazing. He did get a blister and had to stop using that hand as much, but it was like a challenge for him to do the things with just one hand.
Megan and Josh loved all the play ground equipment but also loved rolling down the hills. Megan would go down length wise and then Josh would do somersaults down the hill. It was pretty fun to watch and they both picked up some major speed going down the hill.
They all loved having races down the hill and seeing who was the fastest. Our sweet Tyler is quite the competitor and loved winning. Uncle Nate was just a little faster then Tyler, but Tyler made it a good race.
Allie loved the swings the most and her and Tony spent most of their time on the swings. It was probably best for Tony's tummy to just stand there pushing, so the best for both of them. All the kids had so much fun at this park and it was fun to see them try so many different things. We really do have some pretty amazing kids.
