Story

Dad caught the sickness in the middle of the night and threw up for most of the day. Ondy was also still out with the pukes for the whole day. The rest of us drove into Yellowstone.

We stopped at Midway Geyser Basin first and walked around Grand Prismatic Spring in the pouring rain. We got soaked.

Then the weather cleared up and we went to Biscuit Basin next.

After that, we went to the Old Faithful visitor center. The kids got junior ranger books, and we ate a picnic lunch on the benches. Then we watched Old Faithful erupt. All the other groups headed back after that, but my family stuck around so the kids could finish their junior ranger activities. We watched Old Faithful erupt a second time and listened to a ranger program.

Story

Tara woke up around midnight with a sick stomach. She threw up a couple times in the wee hours of the morning and spent most of the night on the floor just outside the bathroom. Diarrhea hit a little bit later and she had an all-around rough go of it.

Shortly after breakfast, Madi started throwing up as well. She threw up all day long until evening. The two of them stayed at camp while I took Savannah and Cooper to Yellowstone with the rest of the group.

We made it as far as Gibbon Falls before Savannah started throwing up as well. She threw up all over the front of herself in the back of Ondy's car.

We got her cleaned up and proceeded to the waterfall where we shuffled around a bunch of stuff. I had left the truck at camp since we were fewer in numbers, so that meant that I had to drive Ondy's Jeep back to camp with Savannah.

It took us a lot longer than normal because we had to stop several times for her to throw up some more. We then spent the rest of the afternoon at camp with Savannah, Madi, and Tara trying to sleep in the trailer but being constantly interrupted by someone throwing up.

I made a lot of trips back and forth to the pit toilets to dump out throw up bowls. Tara started feeling mostly better by mid-afternoon or evening. Savannah stopped throwing up around mid-afternoon and Madi was throwing up until dinner time. The adults minus Tara talked around the campfire.

Cooper went with the rest of the group to Norris Geyser Basin, the Canyon Visitor Education Center, and Artist Point.
