So we were on our way to Virginia Beach when Darren's lip started to swell. He asked me if his lip looked funny, and I said "No, it looks fine." Well, an hour later he said, "Are you sure my lip doesn't look funny, it feels really swollen?" He turned to look at me and I freaked out! His lip looked like this!!! We immediately pulled over and looked up an Urgent Care, (for the second time in one week, see Williamsburg post) and it turns out he is allergic to Ibuprofen. The Dr. gave him a steroid shot, and some antihistamines. His lip got even bigger than this, (he is not pushing his lip out at all in the picture) but by the end of the day it was pretty much back to normal. He was a good sport, and we still ended up going to the beach.
Sienna was the only one having a good time at the Dr.'s office...she was glad she wasn't the patient this time.
Cayce's favorite thing to do at the beach was to have us bury him.
We probably buried him 5 times!
The kids and I just got back from Lake Powell. Darren was so nice and let us fly back so we could go. I hadn't been there for about 8 years! We used to go all the time growing up, so it was so fun to go back. My aunt and uncle planned the entire trip. There were 27 people in all, so there was never a dull moment. We rented a houseboat, and we had two ski boats. My aunt and uncle's boat was set up for inland surfing, so I got to try that and it was so much fun! We also went tubing, wakeboarding, and fishing. There were so many people that we couldn't all sleep on the houseboat so Tyler, Amy, Taylor, Hadley, Hailee, Me, Cayce, & Sienna stayed in a tent on the beach. What an adventure that was! It was such an awesome trip; it was a lot of work with the kids, but well worth it.
Cole caught a fish using just fishing line and a hook on his finger!
The next Survivor Man!
Riley caught a catfish and cooked it. He shared it with Cayce and he LOVED it!
