Day 5: Old Spaghetti Factory & Swimming

This Monday night Family Home Evening dinner was Hannah’s favorite of the trip. Hurray for Spaghetti! I was so sad that Abe barfed right before we went in. His tummy was not feeling the best. I think he must have overeaten pretzels in the car because after we got back to the hotel he was fine and joined the family in swimming. Noodles are his favorite… and all he had was Sprite! Tru was way intense and found some utensils to hit together (he is entranced by the clanging of two objects). I’m sure it drove everyone around us crazy… but we were just glad he wasn’t having a huge tantrum. Large crowded noisy places aren’t the best environment for this sensory-sensitive kid.

Max started from here on out having awesome poses. The one on the couch is my favorite. And yes, Tru is biting his nails in that picture. I loved when he wore his Fedora Hat. He usually had it on backwards with the tag hanging down on his forehead. He has his own style, that’s for sure. Hannah’s pose in the single fancy chair was imitating a lady we saw on the news. She had some crazy slanting going on with her legs. Hannah was a fun spirit on our trip to help lighten the mood.

The kids had fun swimming at the hotel after dinner. There was a waterfall that the kids jumped through. This was the coldest swimming pool of all. Tru became a little fish. Liza stuck her legs in the hot tub again. Max tried to be so brave and swim by himself.

Can you believe we’re all still going? Traveling is hard on our family. We’re hanging in there at this point!
