The Plague of 2012

Well, it all went downhill pretty fast after our first full day of the reunion. Mary and Tim woke up and threw up right away. Their cousin had thrown up a few times the night before, but we figured he was dehydrated. Their cousin woke up still not better the next day and Tim and Mary woke up the next day and this is where they spent the WHOLE day. They watched many, many episodes of Phineas and Ferb.
Everyone, except Tim, Mary and Nathan, left that morning for the red cliffs. Tim was totally bummed because that place is a little boy's dream. They returned and it was lunch time. Many were not as eager to eat the fine Mexican lunch we had prepared and a few bowed out of swimming because of "fatigue" and "nausea." Well it blossomed and spread. Even fewer people wanted to eat dinner. Adam and Jenn were planning to leave a little early, but left even earlier for fear they might not make it home if they waited much longer. (Sidenote-it was a brutal ride home for them!)Many people laid on couches during the talent show that night. Paul, threw up on the couch during the show, Mary threw up in her bucket. Anyway, it goes on...As far as I know, every single person got sick, with the exception of Wendi and Aaron who were just getting over "food poisoning" upon arrival. hmmmm...fishy. haha. Just giving you a hard time Jensen's.


Moral of the story, sometimes you can pray and plan and think you have all of your ducks in a row, but you just can't control everything. I do think this will be one of our most memorable reunions!
