Arizona continued...Friday

 Decorating Easter Eggs


 Enjoying a S'more
 We saw tons of HUGE turkey's! Too bad didn't see any when he was turkey hunting at the same time:(
 Some more S'mores

 Perfect mallows!
 Pretty proud of her marshmallow on a stick. She kept trying to feed them to me. They were raw. Her stick wasn't long enough to really cook it and she wasn't patient enough to cook it very long either.

 No teeth in front makes for even messier s'mores.
 Perfect!

 One of the many sticks she picked up off the ground to use for her marshmallows.


Friday morning we all got up early! I think we were all finally adjusted to Arizona time. Parker had also had a cold and cough all week and was just getting more congested. So I figured since I was planning on taking Alissa in anyway, I might as well take Parker in too. So I called our doctor again and got another Referral for Parker. I took them to an urgent care and everyone there was so nice to us. It was a long visit because there was an emergency while we were there and an ambulance had to come get someone, so we had to wait for the doctor. Alissa ended up having an ear infection, and Parker was wheezing so they gave him a breathing treatment. We got prescriptions for an antibiotic for Alissa and a Nebulizer and Albuteral for Parker. Then we headed to Walgreens to get them filled. They filled the antibiotic and insurance covered it, but they said they wouldn't cover the nebulizer.

The next 4 hours I spent on the phone with the doctor's office, Walgreens, and the insurance company trying to find out if I could get a nebulizer anywhere without going all the way to the base. After about 3 hours I decided it might be worth it to go to the about 45 minutes away to get one. I tracked down a number for their pharmacy and called. They didn't even have one! Eventually the doctors office called me and said they had one I could have that insurance would cover. I just had to come pick it up. So when KC got home from work we had the car all packed and everyone ready for a night out. We stopped by the doctor first and picked up the Nebulizer, with no Albuterol and headed into the mountains for hot dogs and marshmallows on a fire.

We drove up a canyon and saw tons of turkeys! It was so cool. Some of them were huge. We couldn't have an open fire, so Broden and Grandpa made a fire in the grill with coals and dry grass. We cooked our hot dogs then had s'mores. It was so much fun. Everyone was happy! Alissa seemed back to her normal self. She was so funny. We all had sticks to cook our marshmallows on. She would pick up whatever piece of wood she wanted and stab a marshmallow on it and try to cook it. What a fun and relaxing evening.

We headed home and stopped at Walmart on the way to pick up the Albuterol for Parker's Nebulizer. I did a treatment that night and it seemed to help.
