The Next Bubble Boy...

Why the next bubble boy, you ask? Well, here is the story...
So, my sister invited us to go on an improptu camping adventure this weekend. My parents agreed to go, so we threw everything in the car on Thursday night and headed up Friday. It was kind of a crazy week, since I had been working all week, but we were all excited. We went up to Bocca Reservoir, which is right near Truckee. The minute we drove up, Liam shouted, "Lake, yay! Boat, yay! Papa's boat, yay!" He was beyong himself with excitement. We got everything set up and took a quick spin in the boat that evening. It was beautiful. The air was clear and it was cool and refreshing after a hot week. Surprisingly, Liam went to sleep pretty easily and slept great in the tent. We enjoyed the evening, looking all dorky and what not with the head lamps for reading and roasting marshmallows for s'mores. The next morning, we were up bright and early so the guys could go fishing. Unfortunately, no fish. We had a fun morning and Liam enjoyed getting VERY dirty(you can see in the pictures...it was very dusty!) We had to run to Truckee for a few things and then went back to camp, where we sent Liam swimming with Daddy, Titi, and Izzy. I went and did my first real photo shoot up at anothe camp-turned out pretty well... My mom went with me and we came back to camp to a screaming Liam. He was beyond tired. He had broken out in hives everywhere. He wanted nothing. I tried putting some steroid creme on his legs for the excema and allergic reaction, but he screamed more. I was getting worried that something was really wrong. So, we headed home. He didn't even want clothes on. He was asleep before we left the park. It was a bummer to leave, but we needed to. He slept long and hard last night, but his eyes were all swollen this morning. He also has scratch marks every where from his incessant itching. But he is slightly better... Wes said he's going to have to be the next bubble boy with all of allergy problems. It's such a bummer because I really have been wanting to get things under control. Hopefully we'll get the allergy mess figured out soon. Poor guy. Anyway, here are pictures from the first night and day. I can't put captions because blogger is being weird again and won't let me see the photos, but there is more... We went back for a second day!













Day TWO:
Let's try this again. :) We went back to camp this morning to get our stuff together and let Liam go out on the boat again. All of Liam's long pants were dirty, so we put him in some overalls. Wes affectionally referred to him as "Huck Finn" the entire day. I guess it's time for some new jeans. But, Liam didn't seem to mind. He had a great time this morning. We took a boat ride. I think we need to get Liam a water bed. He seems to sleep easily in the boat. :) It was a bummer we had to pack up and leave, but we had a good time this morning. Hopefully next time will be better, allergy wise.
