Rattlesnake Mountain

So my time alone with peace and quiet was short lived. Pete called me at their campsite at 7:30am so I could share in the experience of what he was dealing with at that moment. Pete woke up earlier in the morning to Kristjan crying because he had to go pee. So Pete had him get out of the tent and take care of business. Pete got out of his hammock to help Kristjan back in bed when he noticed Kristjan's eyes red and swollen! (fortunately, there were no breathing problems) He had no idea what caused it, but gave Kristjan some benedryl and cuddled with him in his hammock. Shortly after that the other kids started to wake up. One of them shouted "The dog puked in the tent!" Ugghh. Daniel went to investigate. Turns out it wasn't the dog who threw up, but one of the kids. After interrogating them, Clifford finally admitted (after lying about it) that he was the one who threw up in the tent sometime during the night. So Pete had to deal with the mess. Side note: Pete realized what caused Kristjan's allergy. Jessica made gorp for the boys. Kristjan had a special one made for him (without nuts), and the other three boys had theirs with nuts. Well, when Clifford puked, mixed with all the yummy-goodness was the gorp that had nuts. With all the kids squirming around sleeping during the night, and I'm sure Kristjan was sleeping right next to Clifford. Seriously, who would've thought it?! Fun times..fun times. So the morning goes on, they fix breakfast, and start working on packing up. Between all of this, for some reason (which this is completely unusual for him), Clifford messes up his pants. One more thing for Pete to deal with. I didn't really hear anything good come out of Pete's mouth about this trip. I feel bad since it's the first camping trip of the season for the kids. I'm just glad I didn't go :)
