There seems to be some sort of stomach issue going around post. It never fails we spend a day at the splash park and within 48 hours atleast one child is sick.
The cause for this is different depending upon whom you ask.
Some will say its just from the amount of children running around like carrier monkeys, some will say its just coincidence and others blame the recycled water. My favorite explanation has to be from my FRG Leader. Her theory is "the Poop Bug". Basically, a child squats over the sprinkler and inadvertently washes poop back onto the outlet. The it sprays back into the air and the other children are then contaminated. After we've caught this bug 3 times now, I'm starting to think she may have a point.
Its been 2 days now, and like clockwork we're sick. The day started off well enough, we had a T-Ball game, then off to celebrate the end of the season. We decided we'd meet back at the splash park. We pull into the parking lot and I hear "mommy I don't feel so good". Assuming just another bout of car sickness, I didn't think much about it. So we get out, get the baby in the stroller and as I bendover to strap her in...I hear BLAAHAHHHHAHAHAHH! Then I feel a splash of vomit over my feet. I turn around its my 7 year old. It appears she has some sort of Demon possession at this point, because the vomitting was enough to make Linda Blair ill.
I hold off looking at my feet, because I know once I do its game over. I reach for the half drank water bottles and start dumping over her legs and my feet trying to get some of the uck cleaned up before it becomes and epidemic. At this point its starting to look like a scene from a comedy.
My daughter has projectile vomitting, I'm gagging, my son is gagging, people walking to their cars are gagging and there's my youngest pointing and laughing.
So needless to say, my son didn't get to attend his T-ball party. Having your children miss out on milestones simply because their father isn't there to help out, can be heartbreaking. One of the other parents were nice enough to bring him his trophy however, so all is right with the world.
