Christmas evening I came down with something... still don't know if it was the stomach bug or food poisoning but I was up all night throwing up. Sunday I tried to pack but still felt icky so around 9pm that evening I had decided to skip the trip... thinking about traveling by myself with two kiddos while feeling nauseous and driving 13 hours just didn't sound fun... by 6am I called my Mom still torn... not feeling great but not feeling terrible... again I decided against it... then around 10am I was up and had eating breakfast feeling AWESOME! I called my Mom in tears wishing I had left earlier and caravanned up with them!
Finally around noon my AMAZING family said they would stop in Wikieup (the smallest town on earth!) and wait three hours for the girls and I to get there. They sat at a picnic table for THREE hours playing with rocks just so I could come... like I said... amAzing family! Thankfully we were all packed for the most part so we were only 45min away from being able to leave. My sweet sister and her hubby who were flying up on Tuesday came over immediately to help me pack and get out of the house! David was still recovering from his cold like flu so thankfully he was home and we were able to say goodbye... then WE WERE OFF! Looking back I am SO GLAD they waited ... it was such a nice time up there spent with family! Though I was missing David, my sisters and Mom helped me out a ton with the girls and made the trip really enjoyable!!! We ended up breaking the trip up staying at a hotel and then driving in the next day due to black ice and other dangerous road conditions. Once we made it there it was non stop family fun!!
Hanging out in the hotel... love those rolls!
Smiling with Aunt Sue!

Our car was snowed in... it took some strong men, a shovel, some digging and a lot of rocking the car to get it out... such an adventure for us "Zonies"
