Memorial Day Weekend

We had a nice Memorial Day weekend and a sick one.  Saturday afternoon we went to a baptism.  I went outside with my kids right after the baptism was performed and sat in my van reading.  While I was reading I started feeling a bit nauseous.  Shanna and Haley had been sick a couple days before but I didn't think much of it.  When we got home we were planning on going to the parade in Shenandoah, but I opted to stay home as I did not feel good.  Lee took the rest of the kids.  They got a TON of candy.










The rest of the house that afternoon the rest of us got sick one by one, except Elden.  I was sick, then a little later Cal, then Clark, then Lee.  We all stayed home from church that Sunday.

Monday we were feeling better, some of us weren't 100% though.  We opted to skip a bbq that our friends invited us too.  We headed up to the Shenandoah National Park that afternoon.  We figured it would be hard to spread germs up there.  (Maybe not?)

The kids enjoyed swinging on this vine.








The falls that we hiked to.  We could only see them from a distance though.  Maybe if we had kept on hiking we would have gotten closer?  Not sure.








After the hike we enjoyed tinfoil dinners, roasted marshmallows and played frisbee.  Too bad that we were sick, but really, being sick on the weekend is more convenient than during the week!
