Vacation!

I disappeared! We just returned late last night from our Branson vacation. We had a fantastic time! A little eventful, but fantastic! :)

A few little issues that transpired -

1.) 1/2 our room was flooded when we arrived, so we had to switch rooms after we had already unpacked! Not fun @ 9:00 p.m. after an 8 hour drive. With 4 little people in tow. Switching rooms actually worked out better in the long run! :)

2.) Jaguar had a little accident & sliced the skin up & back (& off) above the toenail on her big toe. We doctored it well & thankfully she didn't need to be seen by a dr. It was horrible! She's a trooper. :)

3.) Mercedes had a little fit one night & while I was trying to console her - she head butted me right in the mouth, splitting my lip open & giving me a nice, fat lip just in time for dinner. :)

4.) Yesterday as were to leave - Jaguar woke up with a horrible, horrible cold - but we had to get on the road. She is still sick today & has been in bed all day.

5.) On our trip home we stopped for gas - Jaguar walked under the gas hose while hubby was pumping gas - she knocked the nozzle out & her & hubby got SOAKED with spraying gasoline. Fortunately the Shell station had a shower & they took a shower & changed clothes. Thankfully nothing sparked; my entire family could have perished had anything gone wrong. Gasoline was everywhere!! In the car the gas smell was so strong, we had to stop again & throw away all clothes & shoes, even though we had bagged them numerous times. There is no way we could have traveled the 3 remaining hours smelling those fumes. Hubby didn't like throwing away his tennies. :)

6.) And lastly, Miss Melissa here decided fear was not going to get the best of her regarding her fear of waterslides (bad experience years ago - I thought I was going to drown) - so I sucked it up, prayed a lot & went down an enclosed, twisty, waterslide three times! Woot! The bad news is I must had pulled something during my 'inappropriate' thrushes from the water tubes - as today I am in the worst pain I have ever experienced. We believe I pulled a muscle (severely) or a nerve/something. I thought I was headed to the ER, but as of tonight, I am doing much better! Yippee! And yippee again for conquering my fear of waterslides! Although I wouldn't exactly say I'm ready to ride those suckers again. ;o)

I don't have many photos because my lens would fog over at the indoor waterpark, but I do have a few & I have a few of the little people riding gokarts. I'll try to post them in the next couple of days. Still trying to unwind from our week & I have been slowed down considerably considering (heehee, double whammy) I can barely walk.

But really, does anyone read my blog anymore anyway? I don't think so. If you do, please let me know.

Have a wonderful week! ☺
