Vacation and Work Trip with Chad (part 2)

Our 2 week trip with Chad on the east coast was a nice get-a-way but it was not completely a vacation.  Chad still worked almost daily and we still did chores and made it educational for the kids.  We made friends, went to libraries and tried to keep our normal schedule as much as possible.  We got to eat a lot of good food which was nice and I didn't have to cook everyday :). We had to make a trip to the ER as Emma was having breathing difficulties in the middle of the night one night.  The nice thing is we were staying on an AF base and the ER was close-by.  Emma ended up needing a breathing treatment and steroids to give her the strength to get better.  We were surprised with how quickly our children made friends with the other children in church.  They had play dates and outings all set up and that was nice too.

Reading library books was a big part of our trip. Adelyn loves Curious George and all things "monkey"

Daddy won Emma a giant donut which she was so happy about :)
