Day 2: BBQ, Prayer Garden, Mountaintop
Jun 26, 2012
Our second day of vacation, Little Bug woke up and was still a little sickly. She wanted “milk time” and against my better judgment, I let her have some watered down. I think it was too soon to let her have any milk because as she was eating her waffle at breakfast she threw up twice all over the table. (I know. Nice.) Poor thing though. I just wanted her to get better already!!!
Rebecca was supposed to come for a visit that day but as soon as Little Bug threw up I went and called her and we postponed for Saturday to give Little Bug a couple more days to feel all better to see Mrs. Rebecca, Micah and Levi. When she learned they were coming to see her she declared to us all, “Micah is my best friend!!”.
She perked up after Grandma made her some Ginger Tea. Have you ever heard of Ginger Tea for upset stomach/nausea? My stomach was still a little queasy that morning, too (which should have been my clue to NOT let Little Bug have milk) but after I had some Ginger Tea my stomach instantly felt better!
We went ahead and went to a delicious BBQ place for lunch. We took turkey meat and a banana for Little Bug and I requested that we sit outside incase Little Bug had issues again.
See that wall? That looked like a good place to run Little Bug if she had to throw up again…
Thankfully, she didn’t have to see the other side of that wall.
There is a beautiful river that flows near there. When Grandma, Gramps and Little Bug were done eating, they all walked down to the river.
When Dave, Sweet Pea and I got down there Gramps was teaching Little Bug how to skip rocks into the water.
We attempted a family picture. That was the best we got since most of the pictures looked like this:
As we were leaving, the line was starting to form out the door as usual! Between 12 and 1pm this line can get out the door and around the building. We got there before noon. But that is how good that BBQ is!
We got back to the cabin and put two very sleepy girls down for a nice long nap!
After naps we went to the Prayer Garden and took our annual picture. Every year we stand on this rock in the garden and take a picture with whoever came to the cabin that year.
We tried for another family shot and this one turned out pretty good!
Then we headed to the top of one of our favorite mountains for a beautiful view!
This is the best we got up there.
