Livin' La Vida Arizona



We are here!!! Our vacation in Arizona has begun! The drive here was a little rough. I left with the kids (Scott is flying down later) early Sunday morning. We got about 10 hours into our 12 hour drive when Ben proceeded to puke all over himself and his car seat!!! It was so gross and I was looking in the rear-view mirror saying, "No, no, no...stop puking!!!" ~ as though he had a choice, right! Poor thing was so upset and kept saying, "I sorry, Mommy...I sorry, Mommy" We were about 30 miles from Flagstaff and there was NOTHING out there. I had to pull over on an on-ramp, pull Ben out, pull the car seat out ~ wipe it out (sort-of...ick, ick, ick...chunky puke!), try to wash it down with some bottled water. Then, I had to strip Ben down naked, pour bottled water on him. I am sure the people driving past on the highway thought I was abusing him, because he was crying and I was holding him still, trying to get the puke off! Then, we were back in the car for a very smelly two hour drive to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I had to do a load of laundry first thing on my vacation! Ben has been fine since we got here. I believe he got car sick and that is why he puked all over.

Ben and Cailey have been playing in the water and the pool almost all day. The pool in the backyard won't be ready until tomorrow so they have gone to the community pool. It's very, very hot here...98 degrees at 8:00pm! Some pictures...lots more to come as the other kids get here tomorrow and Thursday! Ben enjoyed being naked in the hot weather!
