Shortly after my parents left, Dan's mom arrived for a visit. It was so great to see her. Unfortunately, the evening she arrived so did the flu. William was the first victim. Our plans for her stay didn't quite include a house full of sickies so all of our wonderful plans were flushed down the toilet... which was sort of working with the theme in the house.
William was ill for about 3 days and then Christian took up the mantle. We were hoping to go down and see the Cherry Blossoms as they were at peak bloom. So a modified version of this happened and Dan drove down with Sandy and the healthy kids. The car & people traffic was horrendous so they did a short drive near the Blossoms and then went and got cupcakes to celebrate escaping the traffic.
And because it wasn't enough to deal with a couple sick kids... Worthy fell off his scooter and fractured his forearm.
Soon Christian was well again and while the older two were at school I decided to take the younger two down and see the Cherry Blossoms for myself. At this point they were 1-2 days past peak. They were still amazingly beautiful and there were no crazy crowds of people. It was so pleasant.
What a gorgeous day!
When we got home Calvin threw up. Victim #3.
At least we made it home.
