cruel

This could go down as the meanest blog post on record.  Perhaps it is cruel to post such pictures of your kids and think that it is funny.  The road through the Mojave is a bit treacherous.  Lots of curves and even more roller coaster dips from the soft sand below.  To top it off our rental car had high windows which prevented the boys from being able to see out of the car at all.  Cruel.  Unfortunately, Wally didn't alert us to his feeling sick until it was too late.  Ten minutes after recouping from this episode, Fritz also threw up a ton.  With one travel pack of wipes and one bottle of water, we were under prepared for such a catastrophic event on our road trip.  I had to summon up as much motherly fortitude as I could and scrape the car seats clean with my bare hands.  Also cruel!  Thank heavens we were headed to Uncle Brian and Aunt Cheryl's desert house where we enjoyed a fabulous dinner and I did laundry and hosed down the rental car.

Cruel to post a picture of your kid striped to his underwear on the side of the highway?  

We had to laugh.  It was the only thing to do.
