Thanksgiving Weekend- Another One Bites the Dust

It was a morning of fun...going to the park, playing on the swing and picking lemons from Grandpa's tree.... Only one niece was sick with the stomach flu...however that would change in a mere 8 hours...
Grandma Nickie gave Decker a little Thanksgiving card that played the song "another one bites the dust" ....this became the mantra for our weekend....





Decker now sees planes and get excited...there's one now!









Soon after all of this fun, we were all going to go the Ethel M Chocolate Factory that evening to sit on Santa's lap. They have beautiful cactus gardens that they decorate each Christmas season with lights. That soon changed after Arikka, Cambrea, Breez, Decker, Lora, Jon, Isabel and Rylee all got touched by the wretched virus and were all throwing up.
Then that night, Breiden, MaKaylee, Grandpa, Adam and Michael G., Jade and Michelle joined the group.
Then on Monday night, my Mike and Alison joined the group. Somehow, I managed to avoid getting sick and making it home to Seattle on Tuesday untouched by it all.
So of the original family from post 1 of our Thanksgiving vacation:
Generation 1: 1 out of 3
Generation 2: 7 out of 17
Generation 3: 8 of 13
Total: 16 people got the virus and became sick!
This Thanksgiving will go down as memorable! Too bad one of the reasons is because of the shared virus! It was kind of comical in a way. Sad but true!
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

That sounds like a nightmare! I have a memory of all of us getting a nasty cold while on vacation, but that just doesn't compare to everyone puking.

While visiting Matt's family, I got sick on Christmas day when Jared wasn't even 3 months old yet. We had no bottles, no formula, and no stores open with bottles and formula. So I nursed Jared on the couch while I threw-up in front of everyone. It was really embarrassing. So awesome you didn't get sick! :-D
