We started with Nathan's last swimming class on Thursday, which was a scavenger hunt followed by toys and candy. To get the clues for the hunt, they needed to do things like get their faces wet or blow bubbles in the water. We stayed for another two hours in an attempt to beat the heat, and Nathan finally started going under water. Something he did last year but hasn't wanted to do at all this summer.
On Friday, the kids and I headed to Vermont for leg one of the journey to a family picnic in Wallingford. I roped Dad into doing all the highway driving, yay! Saturday was another 4 hours in the car, but then we had a good time at the picnic. The kids played soccer, had a water balloon fight, learned to fence and generally ran free for five hours. I didn't know where they were half the time, but various aunts and cousins helped keep an eye on them. It was great to see everyone again.
The trip took a turn for the worse at about 9:00 pm on Saturday when Claire vomited in the car. Yuck. Glad I just bought rubber floor mats before the trip. The vomiting continued until about 1:00 am, relasped a bit in the morning, and then came back at full force in the Saranac Lake McDonalds while surrounded by Rugby players. She was fine yesterday, but sick again this morning. It's so hard to balance the need to keep her fed and hydrated when she's refusing everything and vomiting up what she does get. Went to the Doc's this morning to make sure it wasn't anything worse than a simple virus aggravated by 16 hours in the car. So far, dinner has stayed put, keep your fingers crossed.
