Zion's National Park: Heart Attack

In February Natalie asked us if we could watch Alex for the weekend.  It was President's day and we had nothing planned.  Kresta and Brandon were heading down to St. George to see Kresta's mom so we decided last minute to tag along. 

The ride down was quite the eye opener of what we have ahead of us.  Pool little Alex would not eat his dinner when we stopped to eat.  We tried to buy a couple different options but he still wouldn't eat anything.  We were almost to St. George and he said his tummy hurt and we told him (because we are mean) that it was because he didn't eat his dinner...5 seconds later he threw up!  All over the car seat, his clothes, etc.  Me being 3 months pregnant, was already feeling sick, but after that I wanted to throw up too.  Ryan proved to me that he is going to be the BEST dad ever because he took care of everything.  We stripped Alex down to his undies and tried to change him as fast as we could because he was shivering because it was so cold.  Ryan tried to clean the throw up as best as we could and I found clean clothes. 

Please don't judge us...but we were in the middle of no where and so there was no way to clean the car seat out completely so instead of putting him back in it I held him on my lap until the nearest exit.  It is a good thing too because sure enough another 5 minutes went by and we were screaming for Ryan to pull over and once again he threw up but this time on the side of the road.  Cute little Alex was so patient with us first timer parents. 

The rest of the trip was lots of fun.  We went to Zion's and that is also were we realized how scary it is going to be to be parents.  As we were on our hike the kids were running around it was giving us a heart attack watching them get way too close to the edge of the cliff.
