{Sick, Zoo, Sick, Trip}

Last week started out with Luke getting a fever virus on Sunday that lasted till about Tuesday....

 

 Days without school seem long.  Days without school for weeks with kiddos sick, seem to make me (and others) loopy and desperate for anything fun.  Seriously.

 

Then we got to Wednesday with both kids well and fever-free, so we did a quick trip to the zoo where we proceeded to have some fun in the midst of sweating to death:

 

 

But later Wednesday evening, a certain chubby toddler started acting like a toot.  And crying A LOT.  And we finally knew why by Thursday afternoon.  Ben got Luke's virus and he was pretty miserable for three next days.

P.S.  I think I have a puker on my hands when fever strikes.  Hold me.

We had our final family trip to San Antonio planned for Sunday, and luckily by Saturday we knew he was going to be well enough to go.  And thank goodness because boy did we need a change of scenery!!!  We loaded up Sunday around lunchtime and made the 3 hour drive and made it with plenty of sunshine left in the day to play... 

 

What did we ever do without waterslides?!?!  The boys LOVED them once again!

Three days of waterslide heaven...

 

Which lead to this one passing out for nap time (bedtime was a different story for this stinker!)...

 

My two happy fish!

 

This ends the summer trips and I am both happy and sad to say goodbye to them.  Starting Monday, Chat starts school for the next 20 months and we still have 2 more weeks of no school for the boys.  Things are changing, but so happy to have a summer filled with (mostly) good memories.  Now just trying to keep my sanity for two more weeks!
