Attempt at Moab

Well the attempt for a family vacation wasn't quite what we were hoping for. Sunday Mason woke up with a stuffy nose, by Monday morning when we were ready to go it was green and I was pretty sure that he was going to end up with an ear infection... despite it, we hit the road and headed south. After 4 hours of a whining, crying Mason and an irritated Mike, we made it in one piece. The first night ended up being quite nice, we swam, had dinner and walked around a bit. Yesterday was a different story... we woke up and Mason cried and cried and cried some more- if you looked at him wrong, he cried. On top of Mason's crying, the sky was crying too! We couldn't catch a break! Things cleared up a bit after nap time, so we walked over to the Pizza Hut to get some dinner, and ended up having to take our food to go so everyone else in the restaurant could enjoy their dinner. We went home and ate our pizza, and Mason and Mike were able to spend more time in the pool... but then the meltdown kicked in again and we decided to pack up and hit the road a day early- figured it was better to drive at night and hope that Mason slept- and it worked! He slept most of the way, woke up about the time that we hit the canyon and then he talked the WHOLE way home. I sure hope that his behavior was due to the ears and not a glimpse of what 2 has in store for us... he might not live to 3 if that is the case! We will find out in about an hour when we take a trip to my favorite place... the DOCTOR!

Oh and to top it off... I only took 3 pictures, and 2 of the 3 turned out blurry... it was just the icing on the cake! Can't get too excited about taking another family vacation anytime soon!
