Last weekend we took the RV to Llano County. Took a little under 2 hours to make the drive out to some land our friends own. The kids made mudpies while the adults told stories and caught up. Beck and I had not spent time with Jim and Tracey for a while. It was good to catch up.
We made plans to do the same thing this weekend with friends of mine and their families. Yesterday I took the RV out of storage and loaded a few things. Today I went into work planning to depart around 2pm and come home so we could be on the road by 3 or 4. Becky called at around noon. The school called and Andrew was sick.
Poor Andrew. He threw up shortly after Becky picked him up from school. We are going to wait and see if he feels better tomorrow morning. I am not holding my breath.
Since Becky was home taking care of a sick Andrew and a fussy Loren, I had to pick up Tracy. This was the first time I have ever picked up Tracy by herself. I have picked up both kids before, but never Tracy alone. The trip was special for me.
Seems silly that little things like that are what is special now. Nice to get some one-on-one dad to daughter time. The ride home was the first time she rode in a booster chair and it was in the back of the convertible with the top down. Maybe it was special for her too. She laughed that the wind was too strong and told it to go away.
Andrew is coughing up a lung in the other room. Gotta go…
