Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

What a fun weekend!!  Bryan, Erin, and the two little ones came in Friday afternoon.  Then around 7:30, Jami and her three kids got here.  We had a late dinner and then crashed for the night.  Aidan had vomited on the way here - they figured he was car sick. 

Saturday we got up to Aidan being so excited about his cousins being here, but Kaitlyn didn't think that was fun - having some strangers in the house with her!  She warmed up though.   We had an egg/hash browns and ham casserole and monkey bread for breakfast.  Then we all took off to see the manatees and enjoy a beautiful day. 

We were to stop at Fort DeSoto on the way home to let the little two run a bit.  We had taken a picnic lunch and did a tailgate in the parking lot in Apollo Beach.  Since we had two cars, we took off.  Unfortunately on the way home, Kaitlyn started vomiting...and so did Erin.  Not good!  Jami and her kids, plus me, made it to the Fort when we got the call that they were not coming.  They would just see us at The Ranch.  We had a great time walking around Fort DeSoto and seeing all the shells that had washed up.  We threw some back in, but there were just way too many of them.  

Poor little Kaitlyn just kept throwing up and so did Erin.  Not good.  Kaitlyn is too little to understand what was going on.  Erin just went to bed while Bryan took care of Kaitlyn. 

I fixed tenderloins for supper last night.  We'd had hamburgers Friday night.  The big kids ate 3 tenderloin sandwiches each - complete with buns!!  Aidan didn't think so much of  them, but he has no adventurous spirit at all when it comes to food.  He did finally try the monkey bread Saturday morning and Saturday night he asked if we had any more monkey bread!  Neither Kaitlyn nor Erin ate.  Kaitlyn just slept in Bryan's arms. 

This morning, Kaitlyn had some cranberry ginger ale and a pancake.  Then she promptly lost it.  I dreamed all of us got this bug, whatever it is.  I sure hope not!!  Before we left, we took pictures - such as they are.  Kaitlyn and Aidan didn't cooperate much.  But we got them anyway!

Both Erin & Kaitlyn stayed here while the rest of us went to the tiki hut area of Whiskey Joe's to "play" in the sand and enjoy the day!  Aidan had a blast!  We made sand castles and ate lunch there on the beach. 

When  we got home, this is where we found Kaitlyn.  Erin  was on the couch  and on the floor amid her cracker crumbs, was Miss Kaitlyn!  Sound asleep.  I had given her a Ritz cracker before I left and Erin gave her 3-4 more and she kept them down!!

Now the kids are all gone, the house, is cleaned and disinfected, and mostly put back together!!  Jami and her family are home safely and Bryan's family are in Orlando ready to fly back home tomorrow. 

More later...
