Pennsylvania

We headed out for our trip to Pennsylvania! We arrived on Saturday evening pretty early, so we decided to catch a movie at a real movie theater! There aren't any around where we live, they're all pretty 1980's. We found one in Scranton, PA with stadium seating! We got to check off another thing off the list by visiting Scranton since it's the setting of one of our favorite shows (the Office). It was down pouring and the streets were running with overflowing water. McKinley even lost her shoe and I had to run downstream to catch it.
We got some popcorn and drinks and settled in to watch Harry Potter! The kids got Icees, and Hayden drank a whole 32 ounce red Icee by himself (this is important to note because it will come up later...literally). There were probably about 5 bathroom breaks during the movie, but we all enjoyed it.
Then we headed back to the hotel for bed. Sawyer took the air mattress on the floor, McKinley shared a bed with me, and Hayden shared a bed with Kent. Around 1:30 in the morning Kent flipped on the light because he felt something wet and figured Hayden had wet the bed. Unfortunately, Hayden's dinner of popcorn and red Icee had made a return visit all over the hotel bed and Kent. We stripped the bed, got new bedding from the front desk, showered Hayden and Kent and then got back to bed. We changed bed partners after that though and I stayed with Hayden. Luckily he didn't throw up anymore, but we didn't get much sleep that night. With every movement or noise I grabbed the ice bucket to put by Hayden in case he threw up again. It was a long night....and no pictures because that's gross.

At least you got to watch a fun movie. Yes I am glad for no pictures though, poor little guy!

That sounds like our annual camping trips. EVERY year, we have at least one, usually two, pukers. This year it was Landon, all over in his sleeping bag, despite the "puke bucket" being right next to him, at 3 a.m. in the blessed morning!!!! UUUGH.
