This last weekend the boys and I had the chance to go visit Collin's father up in Prescott, AZ. It was such a relief to get out of the heat and have some time to relax and just enjoy our family. We got up there friday night, and had the night from hell. Noah got sick and since the 2 boys, Collin and myself were all sharing a room, no one got any sleep. First. Nicklaus had trouble falling asleep, simply because this was his first over night trip away from home. Finally about 10 at night i had to just drive around till he fell asleep. And when I get home, i guess Noah had been up because he couldn't fall asleep either. At roughly about midnight Collin and I woke up to a blood curling scream. From the sounds of it we at first just thought he was having a nightmare. I quickly calmed him down and got him back to sleep to be awoken again a mere 20 min later to more screaming. Once I got him calmed down he kept saying he had an owie on his tummy. He was awake almost all night ensuring that Collin and I were also awake with him. In the morning as Noah finally was sleeping soundly; Collin went downstairs to visit with his dad and found out that his milk had gone sour. The date on the carton said the milk was not due to expire but for whatever reason it had.
Hence the reason Noah's tummy kept us awake all night long.
At 10 till 9, we all headed out to go see the Fourth Of July Parade. And for the next two hours Noah begged everyone walking in the parade for candy. And pointed out all the horses, tractors, bubbles and motorcycles. We all had a blast and enjoyed every minute of it. Then it was off to Grandpa Noel's house for a BBQ and visiting.
On Sunday Collin had to opotunity to go play golf with his step brother Matt; while Noah, Nicklaus and I visited with Matt's wife Lisa their new son (Matthew who is 2 weeks older than Nicklaus) and their daughters Kayla and Emily. And go to the park where our kids begged for watermelon and played with water ballons from a father and his children. We had a great weekend seeing our family up in Prescott and we can't wait to go back again in August!
