Day 4 (Monday)
We decided today that we should take it easy, so we went on a hike (did I say take it easy?). There is a random waterfall outside of Buffalo that is called "The Eternal Flame" because there is a natural gas leak that is lit behind the waterfall. The fun, though, was hiking down to the river, I knew we would not come back up dry! Tyler was first to take a slip. HE didn't drench himself, though. Then it was Evan--sad and soaked. Jared managed to stay "semi" dry until on the way back up when he fell backwards and slipped into the river--all in the name of saving his precious rock that he refused to let go of!
After the hike, we really did take it easy...dinner, ice cream and frisbee by the river and then back to Buffalo to get the kids in bed. Tara and I headed to a yard sale, we made some hair bows and then we all played a game of Catan. Fun times.
Day 5 (Tuesday)
On the road again...the ride home is always the worst. Who wants to go home to housework and school? Blah! The trip back was okay. You could tell Anna was feeling better because she was a bit more vocal (and not in a pleasant way)! We managed to stop only once which made the trip back 8 hours total. Would we do it again?? Yes, but hopefully, Jeff and Tara will soon be moving closer and we won't have to!
We're all exhausted and will now need a few more days to recuperate!

Sounds like good times were had by all. We're getting ready to take that same vacation in July with Kieth's family. I'll have to get survival advice from you.
Good luck with the canning. And I love the 100 things about you.

So how about you any luck meeting any new mom's with childre with hypo? if not i know we will meet more at the confrence can't wait to meet you and your family.
also did the doctors tell you or give you an idea of Evan's Final Growth Height at 18 jaden is predicted to be 4'9" to 5'0" 5 foot would be nice but he said hopeully, he also tried to get us to go or think about ght growth hormone therapy and we have decidd not to just because it can cause other problems where he still would be a little guy with over grown parts and undergrown parts all mixed up no thanks to that. get back to me if you can let me know what day you will be checking in so maybe we can meet up.
