Camping in October and a trip to Urgent Care!

We went on our first camping trip of the summer this weekend. (I know it's technically FALL but the amazing weather made it feel like SUMMER!)

We went to Mclean Creek campground just west of Calgary with Wendell's bro's family. We haven't taken Wyatt camping very much so we weren't sure how he would do sleeping in a tent. Well needless to say he didn't sleep.....at all.....the whole night.

Here is the run down of our night!

11:00pm - Wyatt finally falls asleep on the air mattress laying next to Wendell after about an hour of crying

11:30pm - We hear Wyatt screaming from the trailer so Wendell goes out

12:00am - Wyatt is finally back asleep so we go to bed

12:10am - Wyatt wakes up and Wendell tries to pull him into bed with us. He cries every time he tries to lay him on the air mattress.

1:30 am - Wyatt is still fussing and crying and won't settle down. Wendell's bro comes out and offers him a bed in the camper. Wendell takes him inside and again he cries whenever he tries to lay him down.

2:00am - Wendell takes Wyatt into the van and turns a movie on for him thinking it will help him get to sleep. But he won't lay down and all he wants to do is watch "Buzz." (Toy Story)

2:15am - Wendell comes and gets me out of the tent to try to help him to lay Wyatt down in the van. (To my defense I was awake the whole time! I was amazed at how much patience Wendell had. I know I would have been way more frustrated than he was!)

2:40am - Wyatt was wide awake and talking away so we decided there was no way he was going to be going to sleep anytime soon. We decided to head back home! We left our tent and all our stuff and drove the 40 min back to Calgary. The little turd was awake the whole way and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow at 3:30am!

WHAT A NIGHT!!

Saturday afternoon we went back out to the campsite and spent the rest of the day out there. Other than the sleep deprivation the weekend was really fun until....we noticed this....

At first we thought it was eczema but when the blisters started forming I knew something else was happening. The rash started spreading up his legs and to the back of his knees. The little blisters on his fingers were the worst. If you didn't see the rash you wouldn't even know it was there. He wasn't sick or irritable (okay other than the sleepless night which we later realized was probably because of the discomfort of the blisters that were forming.)

So this morning at 10:00am we decided to take him in to the walk in clinic. Thank goodness for PVR's so we could record conference. After waiting in the waiting room for an 1 hour and a half we finally got to go to the back where we were seen by a Dr. within 5 mins and 30 secs later we had a diagnoses! HAND, FOOT, and MOUTH DISEASE. His mouth has little blisters in it too. The bad thing about it is that there is no antibiotics or creams they can give him we just have to wait it out! The little spots look so painful but thankfully they don't seem to be bothering him at all and he is still eating normally.

So that was our weekend! I hope your's was a little better!

Hey Baby Lets Go To.......Montana!!

This last weekend we were able to travel to Kalispell for a weekend of shopping. We left Friday afternoon and got there about 9:00pm. We followed Wendell's GPS and it took us down a road that was windy and had steep cliffs. Well needless to say I wasn't doing so good. I get really car sick sometimes and I would get dizzy every time I took my eyes off the road. So I was sitting there trying not to move when I hear this little cough from the back seat. I looked just in time to catch the last bit of throw up in my hand coming from Wyatt. You see when Wendell drives on roads like these he likes to pretend he's a race car driver and doesn't realize what it does to the passengers. So here we are sitting on the side of a road (with no shoulder) trying to clean up throw up with wet wipes. Wyatt was in his pj's because I knew he would fall asleep on the way and I didn't want to have to change he once we got there. Unfortunately though I didn't pack another pair of pj's so he had to wear them for the rest of the night. I'm sad I didn't grab my camera out and take a picture! He was soo pale. Normally he has the rosiest red cheeks but that night you could tell he wasn't feeling good. Needless to say Wendell took the rest of the road easy and slowed down!

I saw this hat at Murdoch's and thought he looked like the perfect Davy Crockett

We spent Saturday shopping with my parents and my sisters family. I bought two dresses at JC Penny that I absolutely love. One because they are cute and Two because they were 50% off! We came home Saturday night because of our church callings we needed to be back to Calgary for Sunday. It was a quick trip but it was fun. It was the first time Wyatt has left Canada. By the end of the day he was pretty fussy and ready to go!
