It was a late in the season visit to the Christkindlmarkt Bethlehem but we made it. Well, Buddy, Baylor and I made it. Mom was still not feeling well from yesterday so she stayed at home. The market added two tents to the original two so we had even more to look at. But we do not buy much anyway so it was a walk through. I wish we would go before I make the Christmas cards; I always think this door would be so nice on one.
We pre-paid for our tickets so getting in was a breeze, we have already decided to do that again next year. We headed right for Larry and Michelle and visited for a few minutes. They are always so busy, which is great for them.
We walked out to see the ice sculptures and Baylor loved the gingy couple.
We asked two girls if they would take our photo and I in turn took theirs.
We sent it to Mom to see she was missed.
I did not get any glass candy canes again this year, they are apparently not making them anymore. But we did stop at a booth that had name icicle ornaments and we thought we would have to order Baylor and Presley but he produced them from his files behind the magic curtain! He said he would be ready for us next year when Presley's brother has a name. I let Baylor pick out his German ornament this year. He choose the shepherd because of the animals on the ornament.
Baylor found the Grinch and it turned out to be him!
I had them sit down while I went and bought lunches. Dad paid for us to get in and the least I could do was by him lunch. He had a turkey wrap and water, Baylor and I split chicken tenders and fries. He had his cocoa down by the time I got back with his food.
Then we were off to get his top turned. I am glad he still enjoys them, at least while we are there.
This year for an additional two dollars he makes a stand for the top out of the wood stump left from finding the top. Baylor close four colors; blue, yellow, red and green.
We went home after the market, ordered pizza, and ate dinner. It was getting late so we headed home. We were at the half way point of our hour drive, I just got on the turnpike and was going 70 mph when Baylor said I am going to throw up. There was absolutely no time or place to stop right before it happened. I did hit the brakes and pulled over as soon as I could, basically to clean him up a bit and cover this up with a blanket. There was not stopping to clean it on the way home. I just cracked the windows and drove as fast as I could. He kept peeking over the blanket to inspect and tell me what he could see. GROSS. When we got home I cleaned him up first and settled him on the couch with some clean jammies and ginger ale. Then I went out to try to clean this up, in the cold, dark driveway. I sent the picture to Mom and she said the us Moms are so lucky. I cleaned up everything I could see and washed everything I could. Thankfully I think this is only the second time he has vomited that did not make it into the toilet or trash can.
DiAnn had given Baylor squishy Santa and I sent her a photo of him getting a bath as he was splattered with ick.
To end on a cute note, Jamie sent a photo of Presley eating from a bag of Munchies almost as big as her. She only likes to eat dry, crunchy food and these were the food of the day! She is a cute little peanut!
