Thanksgiving 2011 – Del Rio

Every year we make the trip down to Del Rio to spend time with Gene’s family for Thanksgiving. This year we had a much shorter trip because I couldn’t get off work until Wednesday. We packed up the car Wednesday night and headed out. We made it in decent time considering how many people were on the road. Gene’s cousin Carlos rode with us and I think he may never do that again! It was quite the adventure to say the least. Trace screamed off and on for an hour because he was tired and couldn’t get comfortable. Once I got his seat reclined and him to sleep Trenton started complaining about a headache. I turned off his DVD player and soon after he said “Mommy my mouth hurts” which is code for I AM GOING TO BE SICK! I quickly unloaded a Kroger bag, sat it in front of him and well you know the rest. Poor baby. Of course we were on a 2 lane highway with no way to pull over. Once we could stop we got Trenton cleaned up, Mommy cleaned up and Trace back to sleep we were on the road again. We were so happy to arrive in Del Rio and stretch our legs! Thursday morning I woke up super sick and pretty much stayed in bed all day. I guess I got a stomach virus which meant NO turkey for me. Trenton wasn’t feeling great either and he slept most of the day too. Friday we were all feeling better and enjoyed some Cougar Football with Big Dog while Daddy went golfing. That evening we took some family pictures. They are a little dark because trying to get everyone ready before the son went down at 6 was difficult. So it was a little dark out!
