Summer Sickies...Blah!

Well, the weekend didn't go quite as planned when we discovered Kate had a fever on Friday night. We took a trip to Gerten's for some plants and tried out a new pizza place for dinner. We knew something wasn't right when she didn't want to even try a bite of pizza. Poor thing kept saying she had a headache and stomach ache and you could see it in her eyes she wasn't feeling well. Sure enough, we got home and she had a 101 fever. We had a feeling it might be an ear infection when she kept saying "What, What" all day on Saturday. This happened a few weeks back when she had an ear infection too. Even though she had no fever today we still took her to the doctor and sure enough...double ear infection! Luckily we have an appointment with her ENT next month as I am pretty sure they will be putting the tubes back into her ears.

So, because we weren't certain what was wrong and didn't want to take her too many places with a fever, we decided not to go to Como Zoo or the Lakeville parade as we had planned. We did still have some fun though. Annie and I went to the Lakeville festival with Corrie and Sam. They enjoyed riding the train and the petting zoo. Sam kept trying to pet all the animals' butts but Annie was a little less excited. She gets that from me...I am not much of an animal lover. Pretty crazy though when you have turkeys, goats, llamas, baby cow, ducks, sheep, ponies and more all walking around and bumping into you! She finally did get the courage though and combed the llama! Kate ran errands with Brian and had lunch at DQ so she did have some fun! Saturday night we did some family noodle art. That entertained them for about 30 minutes!

Today we went to lunch for the first time at Majors Sportsbar, pretty good. Then Bri took Kate to the doc and Annie went to Target with me. Man was she hilarious! She was lounging in the front of the cart with her sunglasses on and a new microphone she got and was yelling at everyone that walked past. She had to tell everyone that she had a new Dora toothbrush and to look at her glasses. She was cracking me up!!!!

We ended the weekend with a nice walk since the weather was so gorgeous. Too bad we couldn't have enjoyed it a little more. We did grill out both nights and enjoy dinner on our deck though. Here are a few pics of noodle art and Annie in her outfit she wore to Target with her microphone!
