I'm really disappointed because my memory card malfunctioned on my trip to Utah, so I didn't get many pictures. I'm counting on family and friends for some. We had an action packed trip, but I'm going to break up my posts.
I really need to tell the story of the Bennett Flu Epidemic. It all started Friday, July 10th, the day of Daniel and Ally's wedding. On the way to the temple I started feeling so sick and my sis, Amy said she wasn't feeling so hot. As the temple ceremony progressed I started eye-balling the door wondering if it would be terrible for me to run out and puke if I had to. Well, I made it through the ceremony and picture taking, got back to my parents house and puked for the next twelve hours. I felt terrible. I did not make it to the reception that night. My family got Izzy ready and took her with them.
Well, after pictures were taken, Isabella puked all over my sister. So, I'm laying in the floor in agony, trying to get up the energy to take care of my baby and my brother-in-law brings me a sick little girl dressed in a adult dress that is draped on her and tied up somehow. I started to try to get her changed and both of us to bed, but I had no energy. I seriously was praying that someone would come home and help me out. Someone came alright. My two sick sisters. Over the next few days, nearly everyone in my family was infected with this terrible flu bug. A few people went to the emergency room, it was so bad.
Aubrey and Steve were married on Saturday and they both got sick the night before. I think Steve puked all night. They could barely stand at their own wedding. The whole next week the phone was flooded with calls of others who had gotten sick. I pretty sure the Bennett flu was spread across the United States. Sorry if you got it.

Aubrey!! as in your little sister Aubrey!! when is she old enough to get married??? wow!! So sorry about the illness, how terrible.
So you better believe that if would have called...I would have been there in a heartbeat to take care those cute lil kids! Alex & Ben loved that you all slept over for 1 night--we wished there was more but don't want to fight over ya. It was great to see you and hope we'll see you around the holidays. I have some really cute pics that I'll send ya ok. We're gonna go back to dads & we wished you all were coming w/us again.
Bet it's great getting back home!!!
EEWWW! I'm so sorry---at least it wasn't your wedding day right? Sorry for the bride and groom. I hope everyone is feeling better. Your kids are looking so cute. Izzy has a great smile. When are you guys done with residency?
Booo, no fun. Ben was super sick at our Open house after our honeymoon, and had to sit on a stool in line.
Hope all Bennetts are better :)
That sounds so awful! I'm so sorry. It does make for a very entertaining story on your blog though. Hope that crazy fast and contagious flu is long gone.
hey- the same exact thing happened to my whole family in March when I went out to UT for my brother's baby's blessing! We had lunch after the blessing and then in the next day or two we almost all got really sick and everyone threw up and it was AWFUL!! I had to fly home on the red-eye and that was NO FUN- weird that if happened to both of us! Glad you are all better now and your kids are just DARLING!
