Summer sickness & Rockets

We've spent the last week doing nothing much at all.  I've been sick.  I ended up with bronchitis.  One night last week I was having a really hard time breathing, so Patrick came home from work, and took me to the ER, where they gave me two breathing treatments.  I'm finally starting to feel better, and have slept pretty good the last two nights.  Two days ago when Griffin woke up he had pink eye in both his eyes.  And last week when I was super sick Savannah cut her toe really bad.  I'm happy that we're all finally getting better.

Before I got super sick, we took the kids to fly rockets at the park.  It was a blast!

A night Hike

It's 9:00am and everyone but me is still fast asleep.  I can't sleep anymore.  I'm sick, and I've got a horrible cough.  I figure I'll use this time wisley and update the family blog while I hack away.

I started getting sick Friday, but didn't feel super bad until late Saturday night.  Cough, congestion, fever.  We normally keep the house at 70 degrees during the summer, I've been keeping it at 76 (much to my family's dismay), and I'm still cold.  Hope this goes away soon.

Saturday evening Patrick took us on a FAB hike.  We started out around 6:30pm, and didn't get back to the car until 9:10pm after the sun had set.  It was a really beautiful, fun hike.   It was great to spend some good quality time as a family as well.

We also saw some cool wildlife.  We saw a couple of Horny Toads (which I have not seen since I was a kid), and on the drive out we saw a good sized rattle snake.

We finally made it to IHOP for dinner at around 10:30pm.  I love summer, and the time we get to spend as a family!

Oh, the things they say and do.

As I was saying goodnight to Trevor tonight he said Mom, in the morning can you make some of the tea for me again (water, lemon & honey)?"  I said "Sure, does it make you feel better?"  And he says Yes, and it helps calm my crazy nerves."

 

Scout Day camp

I was helping with Trevor's group, so I didn't get any pictures of Griffin.  He did have a great time too.  This was Trevor's last day camp & Griffin's first.
