You just keep going

Cousins

Obstacles, problems, challenges, injuries, you name it, especially with kids it keeps on happening.  The day before we got on the road we had a doctor's appointment for the baby to check the fluid in his ears, I just came back from teaching a class and there was chaos in my home.  The baby was chasing the kids around and bumped into a table busted his lip inside and out, a lot of blood.  I grabbed him and headed to our appointment, I knew the doctor would tell me if it was minor or not.  Luckily it looked worse that it was, she cleaned it up, taped it up, and we moved on along.

Thursday morning we got up at 4am to load up the car, woke up the kids at 5am, it was quite smooth, the road was clear, when the whining happened I would pop in a video into my laptop and they would be good for a while.  The baby slept a couple of times, the hardest part was at the end, it was dark, everyone was tired and uncomfortable, I should of took a picture of the car, I don't know how we all fit, we took produce for all the Passover meals, plus our bags, and of course I had to bring books and activities.

We all had a good night's sleep, the kids woke up bright and early as usual, had fun playing with their cousins. I took them to a park, and that is the picture you see above, as soon as we got there, while trying to get onto that tire swing my daughter busted her lip, luckily she barely cried and continued playing, she is a tough cookie.  My baby just pooped before we left the house so we cleaned him up and I decided not to take wipes and diapers, so I had to ask some nice ladies at the park for some wipes or tissues to clean her up.  My oldest needed to go number two, the bathrooms were lucked, there was a disgusting portable bathroom nearby, luckily he was able to hold it until later.

I figured the kids needed to run around after the 16 hours on our tushies.
