A couple of hours later T began to cry again. This time it occurred to Beverly that he may be sick. He usually cries before he throws up. When Robert got him and asked him if he felt like he was going to throw up, he affirmed that he was going to do just that. As that realization began to sink in, a greater HORROR was beginning to wake up in Beverly's and Robert's minds! You see, Jade doesn't cry when she's about to vomit. Instead she just vomits in her sleep. Doesn't wake up before...or after.
Bev grabbed the light and rushed in to check on Jade. The wet muck the kids were sleeping in was not spilled "Mango Freeze from Taco Bell, it was cold vomit...full of Cheetos, BBQ chips and Mango Freeze. (Robert was in charge of feeding them dinner before camping.)
Emma Long Park is a city park and they lock the gates between 10p and 7a. Beverly called the Park security and asked special permission to unlock the gate so we could take our sick ones home. Fortunately they accommodated us. We left the camp set up at 3 a.m. and just took the kids home. Jade had lots of "stuff" in her hair so we had to bathe her. As she woke up she looked at her hair and said, "I think my hair tried to eat Cheetos!"
If Only.
We cleaned the kids and put them to bed. The funny thing too is that Beverly was dying cuz it was SO cold. (55 degrees) So she wasn't sleeping very much. Robert wasn't sleeping very much cuz the camp next to them had what seemed to be flood lights on in their camp and were making a raucous. As we loaded up in the car to leave, the camp next to us put their lights out! Ugh!
We went back the next morning, the kids feeling well, and packed up our camp.
Memories. :D
