I had to write a funny story about our Moab trip. . .
When Sunday morning arrived and we were getting ready to leave, the girls were a bit sad. While Courtney and I were in a rush getting packed to go, Kate kept saying she wasn't feeling good. We were so busy getting everything into the car that we didn't pay much attention. And added to all the sadness of leaving, I guess we just passed it off as a bit of reluctance about heading home. Whatever we were thinking (it seems a bit hazy and misguided now), we basically told her to buck up and get in her car seat.
Kate continued to let everyone know her stomach wasn't feeling good. And we, using our best counseling skills, continued to tell her there was nothing we could do and she just needed to find something to help take her mind off it.
Until. . .she threw up all over the back seat.
To which Courtney responded by quickly pulling off the road and asking, "Kate, why didn't you say something?"
At which point I politely mentioned, "um, she kinda has been". And we both laughed.
Hmmm, maybe we need to sharpen our listening skills. Or perhaps provide the girls with a hammer.

Oh gross! We had the same kind of experience on our way to Utah a couple of years ago, except we had no warning! Kelsie just woke up and turned and threw up all over her brother! From now on we always bring towels and plastic bags whenever we travel! It's such an awful mess to try to clean up on the road!
hee hee. :)
