July 4th weekend fiasco: Gastroenteritis

The July 4th weekend was a mess literally. Puke, diaper blowouts, and ending with me puking all over the hitch.:E Started on Thursday with our infant, Friday our 4 year old, Saturday my DW, Sunday (tare down ugg)me. My wife took the dog and one year old home on Saturday night, I started packing up and felt fine....yeah right. Wacky dreams and by 9am chunks were flying into the black tank. I couldn't pack up at all, and needed my wife to come back and wrangle the 4 year old. I struggled till 11am went to lift up the hitch....PUKE!
Straggled to my feet, and sat on the Sub's bumper hurling away.

    Sorry you were all so sick. That's no fun at all. We were down in your area spending 7 nights at Otter Lake for the 4th of July week. Fireworks were great!

    daycare + 21ft htt = biohazard! 4th of July trip to remember. I feel sorry for the camp host, left firewood, and 4 loads of upchuck.

    As a dad with a 4 year old and an infant I can sympathize...sort of. Definitely had something like that run through the family, but fortunately we weren't camping at the time. I cant imagine feeling like that AND having to deal with packing up, dumping stuff, etc....

    I take it the dog didn't sick. Cause the dog didn't eat the same food you did.

    Sorry.....nothing ruins a nice holiday campout like a barfy family. Wait a minute......what about the dog????? Did he/she have to play nursemaid to all of you?? Hope it's all over by now...poor choice of words, but you know what I meant.
