We took a trip down to TN last weekend. It was a short trip, long drive, but we were able to see all the Reynolds family and celebrate Christmas. Our trip didn't start out the best. On Tuesday, Brady was diagnosed with croup and was put on steroids. {By the way, Croup = very scary! I could go without one of them ever getting that again!} Wednesday was our day to leave and I got a call Wednesday afternoon from our daycare provider, just as I finished packing up the van, to tell me that Tyler was throwing up everywhere! I quickly grabbed a change of clothes for him and headed over to pick them up. As we were driving to Grinnell to pick up Lee, Tyler threw up all over himself in the van. At that point, I just wanted to cry, stop driving, and forget the whole trip! But, as planned, we stopped in Iowa City at my mom's on Wednesday to eat dinner and hang out for a bit. We ended up hanging out a bit longer, as we really wanted to make sure that Tyler was feeling better. So, at about 8:00 p.m. we left Iowa City to travel to TN with one child with croup and one child with the stomach flu! We actually made it there fine. They didn't sleep the best through that night, but that was to be expected, since they were both sick.
While we were there, we ate, caught up, played cards, opened presents, ate, opened presents, and ate some more! The boys enjoyed getting rides on the "tractors." We enjoyed hanging out with Lee's family and celebrating Christmas!
The boys are much healthier now. Brady had his last dose of steroids just today and Tyler had only gotten sick those two times. Thank God! The ride home went much better!
Here's the Reynolds clan. Mitch, Eula, Laura, Matt, Grandma Patty, Sam, Tyler, Pops, Lee, Myself, and Brady.
