McCormicks Creek

This past week I went to McCormick's Creek with Austin. Needless to say theres NEVER, I repeat NEVER a dull moment with us. We started out Wed. afternoon, set everything up, made dinner, walked around the camp a little, and played a good old fashion game of life (ps - life wasn't as easy as it was when I was 9, there were sooo many new rules and regulations, finally austin and I were like, to heck with this we quit) the next day, my mom, dad, niece and nephew came up for a visit. They had a blast. Mom said Brooklyn was disapointed all the way up there because she was missing a field trip to Baslers (of all places) with her preschool class, but don't worry when she got to mccormicks it was all worth her wild when she saw the "falls overlook". Her exact words were, "I was a little dissapointed about missing my field trip today, May (thats me), but I am not anymore because those falls were amazing. what 4 yr old do you know that uses the word amazing, onlyyyyy her. Sooo the next thing we did was go hiking on trail 7. the kids lovedddd it. were very tired towards the end, but not tired enough to hit up the playground after our hike was over. Heres where the story comes in.....I took brooklyn and coy over to the playground and there was a swing that u could swing in circles with. Naturally brooklyn and coy both wanted on this swing. I picked themboth up and put them on the swing. They kept saying faster may, faster. sooo of course I spinned them faster, just like they said. Then all of a sudden brooklyn screamed ohhhh my stomach hurts. She was screaming in agony, like maybe she was having a sharp gas pain or something. So I stopped and had her sit down a second thinking maybe it was gas and it would pass. Ohhhh noooo nooo noooo, I picked her up to comfort her and was in mid sentence (face to face with brooklyn) and wawooooosh...........projectile vomit in my mouth and allll overrrrr my sweatshirt. I just stood there in dismay. I have worked in the hospital for just about 2 1/2 yrs and nothing like this has ever happened to me.!!!! Brooklyn stood there as well, with a look on her face like I was goin beat her. On a normal basis I either dry heave or puke at the site of someone else dry heaving or puking, but not this time brooklyn and I just laugheeedddd. Long story short, we went back to the camp site, got cleaned up and then my little brook pie came over to me and said, I am soo sorry aunt may, i didn't mean to puke on you, but i told u it wasnt gas. Needless to say, my nursing assessment skills did not serve me well this time. Besides that and the rain our trip to Mccormicks was a blast. AUstin and I's goal is to hit up every state park in indiana. Brown County is next. Can't wait.
