We just got back from the Outer Banks. We love going out there for a few nights every now and then so the kids can play on the beach and visit the aquarium. This trip was certainly an adventure! We left to meet Sonny out there on Tuesday evening and on our way, the tire blew out. I tried so hard to change the tire myself, but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be and some kind stranger took pitty on us. After he helped me with the tire, we were on the road again. Either while I was changing the tire or while I was driving, I got bit by a spider on my toe. It's totally swollen, itchy, and painful. We were happy to finally make it to our hotel!
We spent all day Wednesday swimming in the pools and playing on the beach. We did a little shopping and went to the aquarium. We also lounged in our hotel room and ordered the movie "Curious George" for Ryen to watch. It was fun and relaxing and the kids had a total blast! Then, that night, as we were snuggling down with the girls, Madelyn puked the mother of all pukes! Sonny called the front desk to get new bedding and I gave poor Maddie a bath. Just when we were all set again, she threw up all over the bed again. Ryen was so loving and concerned for her little sis and took excellent care of her. We decided it would probably be best to just pack up and drive home- so the girls and I left the hotel at around midnight. Poor Maddie. They both slept the whole way home and continued to sleep until 4:00 pm today! Nothing is ever ordinary around here! Still, we are grateful for our little vacations and the fun memories we are able to make.
