Washington and Sick Kids

Monday the 15th, Mom, Shai, Morgan, Oakley, Scarlett, Hawley, Tyda, and myself all got into my car and took off on a 10 hour road trip for a week long stay with my Grandma. All the kids were really good on the drive which made it that much better.

When we got there the kids just played around and had fun exploring the new house. Things went well until Wednesday when Scarlett got sick. She had a high temp until Saturday. Hawley ended up getting sick on Thursday until Sunday. They wouldn't let anyone talk, touch, or help in anyway, so I was stuck with two sick kids and trying to take care of my baby Tyda. I'm very grateful for my family who helped take care of her. They would bring her to me when she needed to eat and then take her away. This is us in bed. Hawley has a grip on my arm, she didn't want me to go anywhere.



Since the kids were sick, we didn't do anything, which made the trip pretty boring. We just sat around all day everyday. Finally on Friday night we went to Uncle Steve's house and had dinner with them and some cousins. Oakley was so excited for people to play with. She was extremely bored with noone to play with and nothing to do all week.


4 Generations
This is my Uncle Steve. It has been over 5 years since I have seen him.

Saturday a few people came over, but it was mostly just relaxed. Sunday there was a Murphey reunion that we went to. The girls were almost better and running all over the place having fun. They even made a few friends.

Some of the Smith Family.
Allie and Gracie--They are my Mom's cousin, Justin's, twins.


We left on Monday to come home and the trip was again a good one. We were all worried about the girls and how they would do, but they did well.

And now that it is over and things are getting back to normal, I get pretty sick. I have a bad cold and a fever. Things are pretty dang crappy when you are sick.
