You Never Know What To Expect From Kids

So this morning Kinyon comes up to room about 3:00am. He was rolled in a ball and said his right side hurt. So we went to check the internet about appendicitis. It doesn't say a whole lot, other then hurts on right side. Sometimes starts in middle, then moves to right side. Hurts when you walk around. May or may not have fever. So we had him get up and walk around to see if it hurts. Well he is making all these moaning sounds and keeps closing his eyes like he was in alot of pain. So we are think, ok maybe we had better take him to make sure it is not his appendix. So we get there and the doctor comes in to check him. He says well get a x-ray and draw some blood to check his white blood count. So we go down to get x-rays. When we get back Kinyon says I need to go to the bathroom. Shane said #1 or #2, Kinyon says #1. So I take him to find a bathroom. Next thing I know Kinyon opens the door and said "Mom I just pooped my pants." Im thinking nice we don't have any clean clothes. So I find a bag and told Kinyon to put his underwear in here. We get back to the room and they were waiting for Kinyon to get back to draw blood. Then they said that it will take about 1hr for the results. So we are waiting and they gave Kinyon the remote to watch TV. Well he ends up pushing the button that pages your nurse. Shane and I are sitting there thinking great!!! We got the button taken care of and explained what all the bottons do. Well the Dr. finally came back and says well in the X-rays it looks like he has alot of gas and his blood count was normal. So everthing turned out to be fine with Kinyon. Now Shane and I are stuck with a $300-$500 bill for Kinyon to use the ER Bathroom. I sure hope his stomach starts to fill better.

A Day on the Beach!!!

Sunday Feb. 17th we took the kids down to play on the beach. It was the warmest day since we had been there about 79 degrees. They walk along the coast on the rocks at first, but it didn't take long and they headed for the water. They would only go out up to about their thighs then wait for a wave by then it was up to their waist. They had a lot of fun trying to jump over the waves. Then they started to find sea shells. They are kind of tricky to get when they are washed up on the shore, because there is always another wave to wash it back into the ocean. When they were done playing in the water and making sand castle. We got out the kites we bought at a Wal-mart. We had bought 2 kites that were about $2, one for $3, one for $5, one for $10. Well Shane got the cheap kites going first with no problem. Then we got the $10 kite out and you would never believe this. We couldn't get the kite to fly. Shane and his Dad worked with it for a while. They ended up tying a stick to the end of the streamers. We finally got it up after about 45 min. but it still was a harder kite to keep up. After the girls where done flying kites, they went and burried Cheyenne's full body only her head was poking out. When she got up she had sand in her ears, and hair. Then she told Nanny she had a sand bum. She didn't like that. Next came Kaitlyn, she was covered in sand also. Then it was time to go home shower and get ready to go to Disneyland.

Three Days at Disneyland

Saturday was the first day we went to Disneyland. It was very crowded because it was a three day weekend with Presidents Day on Monday. Not such a fun day.
Then on Sunday we went back about 6:30 to go to the Electrical Parade at 8:30 at California Adventure. Then we ran over to Disneyland to catch the Firework Show at 9:45. We decide to stay and ride some rides until the park closed at 1:00 am. Amazingly we got on 7 rides from 10:30pm-12:45am. We had to run out of the park to catch the tram to take us to our cars. They quit running at 1:00am. Of course we had to make a bathroom stop for Kaitlyn & Nanny. Then we are almost out the gate and Cheyenne says I need to go potty. So I told them to go on and I ran Cheyenne over to the bathroom. But we made it just as they were loading the last tram. Phew what a crazy night. I couldn't wait to see our room.
Then we went back on Tuesday hoping it wouldn't be busy since all the local kids and people would be back at work and school. It turned out to be a pretty fun day. Most of the ride were no longer then 20 min. wait. That was good compared 55-90 min. on Saturday. We got to ride on all the rides that we wanted some twice. Then headed over to California Adventure. They have this huge roller coaster called California Screamer. Nikki, Porter, Ryder, Kaitlyn, and I went on this one. I was a little nervous and you have to go upside down. But when i got to that part i just closed my eyes and everything was all right. Then we went to talk Nanny and Poppy into going, Nanny loves roller coasters too but did not want to go upside either. So I told her my strategy. She then agreed to go on it. Both Poppy and Nanny loved it. Then after the kids with some other rides we had to get back over to Disneyland for our Dinner reservations at 6:30 at New Orleans Cafe. Then we went on Pirates of the Caribean again because Shane and I didn't get to go with the rest of the gang when they went earlier because I left my camera on the Indiain Jones. So we went back to get it while they went on Pirates. After Pirates we got on are usually train to get over to the other side of the pack to ride Space Mountain for the last time. Shane got off in Toontown and took Kaitlyn and Kinyon on Mr. Toads Wild Ride in Fantsyland. Then met us over by Space Mountain. That was the last ride at Disneyland, we can't wait to go back.

Three Days at Disneyland

Our Trip to Sea World

On Friday Feb. 15, 2008 we spent the day at Sea World. We hit all the shows first thing so we could spend the rest of the day just walking around and looking at stuff. The first show was the dolphin show it was the best of all the shows. My kids decided to sit in the soaked zone, and boy did I get soaked. I should have taken a picture. We have it on video though. It was alot of fun and would do it again getting to see them up so close. Then we went to the seal show, we decide not to sit in the wet zone, we needed to dry off. Cheyenne was shriving so we took off her shirt and Chad gave her his jacket to wear. Then it was off to the Shamu show. We liked that show too, but everyone loved the dolphin show the best. The kids got to feed the dolphins for $5 per kid they each got 6 tiny little fish to feed them. They also got to touch the rays, they feel so cool. Then we just walked around and shopped for souvenirs.
