MS 150 Weekend 2011

We woke up nice and early on Saturday morning and shoved 5 adults and 3 kids in car seats into our car and headed to La Grange to drop off Scott & Jason to meet up with their Fedex Team.



As soon as the guys grabbed their bikes and bags and we rearranged a bit in the car Reagan promptly threw up. A little back story - since Wednesday of that week we'd been battling sickness with Reagan. She came home with a fever on Wednesday from school, she had to stay home on Thursday because of the fever and seemed to be much better. She had an accident at school on Friday so since it was a short day for the girls I picked them up. She had an accident as soon as she got home and then all seemed well. She was running around like a maniac and what not. Saturday morning I was a little concerned because she was so quiet but she had no fever and seemed well. After she threw up (thankfully just water) she seemed fine. She was talking a little more and slept some. So we headed on to Dime Box to stay the day/night with Delia's family.

It was a beautiful day and it didn't take long for Reagan to ask to go and see the horses.



This sweet horse even "kissed" Reagan's finger when she wouldn't let go of the hay. What else were we supposed to tell her? : )  After that she didn't really want to feed him anymore but Abby fed him a few handfuls as well.

After that we played outside for a bit as it was a beautiful day!




We had lunch and then the little ones napped. Reagan took full advantage of having a Grandma on hand. I think they did puzzles, read books, had snacks, etc. Then we headed to a birthday party!


This is the only picture I got. And then for what feels like the rest of the time we were there I spent it in the bathroom with Reagan. She had quite a tummy ache. I'm pretty sure we visited that bathroom at least 20 times. As soon as dinner was over we got her out of there and back to the house for a bath with all 3 kids. Then they were off to bed and the adults got a little wine quiet time.

The next morning was nice and leisurely. As always my kids were up early and Reagan had had a rough night. Poor thing even asked me if we could go home in the middle of the night. We had breakfast and the kids played a bit before we loaded ourselves up and headed to Austin.

Thank goodness Delia has done this before because I would have had no idea where to park, where to head to, etc. Plus I can't tell you the last time I've even been to Austin! Possibly high school. We found a great spot in the shade and tried to keep the kids interested in watching for their Daddy's.


What stinkin cute is Cooper?

We didn't have to wait long to spot them!



We really couldn't have timed it any better. After the guys showered and got their stuff we went out to eat and then loaded us all back up and headed home. We didn't get home til close to 7:00pm. At that time Reagan threw an epic fit. She was upset we were back at our house and not at Cooper's Grandma's house. Once she calmed down from that she was upset because Cooper had to go home. Needless to say we stuck those kids in a quick shower and then right to bed!

It was a very trying yet great weekend. Much thanks to Delia for sharing her family with us and to Jason for introducing Scott to the MS150. I foresee many more years of rides in our future.
