2. Baby screaming for most of the 6 1/2 hour car drive from pain in ears from elevation.
3. Spend time in an ER in some obscure place you are visiting.
4. Walk with crying baby while not getting to listen to any of wedding you drove 6 1/2 hours to listen to just far enough away so that you can see the couple, but not too close as to interrupt the wedding.
5. Have baby throw up all over play pen at least twice per night.
6. Have your daughter puke every where while driving home.
:)
The Good Stuff that made up for the the Bad:
1. Got to visit with my cousin Amy morning before she got married. Her getting primped for the big day.
2. My mom being with me. Helping me. Driving while I tried my feeble attempts to soothe Eli. Buying turtles (which Alden enjoyed) for her class (you can only buy turtles in BC - not AB apparently)
3. Seeing lots of family I haven't seen in quite some time in lovely BC where it was pretty and green. (the pear tree in my aunts backyard)
(hanging out in the hotel in the morning)
4. The drugs that helped Eli and Lucy sleep on the way home.
5. The stop at the world's largest truck so the kiddos could run around and stretch their legs.
(trying to escape)
6. The bride and groom.

I was totally intrigued when I saw your subject tonight.....so bummed to hear that the kiddies weren't doing so hot. Hope that everyone is on the mend.....great pictures as always.....someday I hope you can show me how to do that with my camera:)
My long weekend was also spent attending weddings - yes plural - two in one day! But I did not have to travel far, and my kids were very healthy. Hope everyone is on the mend now.
Oh i soooo feel your pain on the crying baby while you're driving. It's so hard because you know if you stop they'll probably stop. But you have to be somewhere so you keep going. Sorry your trip was so rotton there and hope Eli is feeling much better!
