A parental rite of passage

Yesterday we experienced a rite of passage that all parents inevitably face.... what is that, you ask? Oh, YOU have probably had it happen to you..... It is the "I-am-pulling-my-car-to-the-side-of-the-road-so-my-kid-can-vomit" rite of passage!!! It happened to us FIVE times yesterday as we were driving home from a week's vacation at Whistler! Poor Andrew was SOO sick.. he was like a limp wet noodle, and he has the flu so badly. He puked all of the way home, on us, on him, on the car seat, on everything... oh, we will spare you the pictures of this one! After sleeping 14.5 hours straight last night, and then sleeping at least 5 hours today, we are hoping he is at the tail end of this sickness.

We did, however, have a wonderful time in Whister. We celebrated Mothers' Day on Sunday, then our 7-year anniversary on Monday, and then Greg's 35th birthday on Tuesday. So it was fun! And we lucked out with warm sunny weather the whole week.

We discovered a new park that the kids loved...

We got a babysitter one night so we could go out to dinner for our anniversary. A treat!

A&H enjoy their very first Rice Krispy bars on the deck:

We ate dinner at the Brewhouse on Greg's birthday. Drew and Hailey LOVED it because there is a model train that circles the inside of the restaurant. (hopefully you can see it in this pic). Needless to say, they were easily entertained during dinner.
