Bonus Time

Monday was the added bonus to our weekend....since Lyndsay and Aaron decided to stay and play another day. Unfortunately, there wasn't as much playing as usual. Lyndsay and I spent the morning with Anden at the Doctor. This was after Jeremy and I spent the ENTIRE night awake with the poor little inconsolable kid. He has his first ear infection. I felt awful. I had SO many growing up and can truly empathize with how horrible they are! And we were plagued with extreme guilt that maybe we added to it by playing all weekend. Luckily his doctor reassured us that he would have gotten the ear infection anyway since he had a lingering cold from last week that eventually moved to his ears. He had acted perfectly fine all weekend so we thought he was over his cold. Guess not. Anyway he's on antibiotics now and ear drops. Within a few hours after, he was already perking up to his usual funny self! Ah, the miracles of modern medicine! :-)

The only thing that made Anden happy before the drugs kicked in!

Later that afternoon, the boys were itching to go back out riding. Anden really wanted to go too (ok and so did the girls). So we relented and said he could go for a little safe ride. What I didn't know is that the boys wanted to ride quads this time...which I have now learned that means so they can be crazy fools. Regretfully my husband is the Ring Leader of that prestigious group.

Now that the boys were a muddy mess, they became even more fearless crazy. We followed them in the rhino at a SAFE and SMART distance. Two words the boys didn't understand. We explored around more until Jer found this huge cliff.

Jeremy scoping out how far of a drop it is!

Jeremy jumping it anyway!

No casualties = great day!

We rushed home, grabbed dinner and sent Lynds/Aaron on their way back to Vegas. Oh and sadly Rocky went too. The kids were a bit distraught about this.

Taylee has since been wandering the house yelling, "Wocky where r u?". Meanwhile Anden randomly asks me on a repeated basis if we can go to Vegas Baby and get Rocky. Sorry Lyndsay, you have now been replaced by a turtle! :-)
