Baker Reunion and an Allergic Reaction

Ellie fell in love with these roses, and even though they were pretty much done blooming and falling apart, they still smelt amazingly sweet. We loved visiting with all of Ray's aunts, uncles, and cousins who attended the reunion. I love his family so much, and am grateful for the relationship I have with each of them. They are all so enjoyable to be around and visit. We went to Idaho for a Baker Family Reunion. We had a great time except for the part where we found out that Jake was allergic to the farm, and blew up like a puffer fish. His poor little eyes were swollen shut, and he could hardly breath. But, instead of taking him to the emergency room like we had done a few years ago when he had to get 4 staples in his head, we rushed him to Wal-Mart where we bought him some claritin and benadryl. (I know were such good parents)Anyway, it didn't take long after the medicine to kick in that he was begging to go back out and ride the pony. Unfortunately between his sunburn, and allergies we had to cut the trip short and head home.
Ray and I were both amazed at how the further we got from the farm the better Jake's breathing got.
