the fourth of july

our fourth of july didn't go exactly as planned

we got up and wanted to go to my sister's ward breakfast

but henry had thrown up in the night and we wouldn't make it in time

we got everyone dressed and cleaned him up and headed to ikea

he seemed fine so we figured he just ate too much junk the day before

at ikea all four kids got to go in the play area so he was pretty mad he was stuck with mom and dad

we were pretty stoked to get a little breakfast date with henry

 on our way to debbie's to spend the rest of the day with michael's family

henry threw up a whole bunch

so we made the call we should pack up and head home rather than risk getting everyone sick

or us all getting sick away from home

we bought a new dvd player on the way home because ours had broken on the way there

and made more stops than normal to make it more pleasant

since the kids were pretty mad to have to leave early

 a bathroom/dinner stop

 henry was miserable on the drive home

he had a fever and his stomach hurt

we felt so bad for him but we were glad to get him in his own bed that night

we got home pretty late, around 10:30pm

the kids watched some neighborhood fireworks from the driveway while we unloaded the car

not our best fourth of july ever

but i got to spend it with the people i love the most so i can't complain too much
