Memorial Weekend at the Lake

Kevin, Madalyn, and myself went to the lake this past weekend. We left on Friday and came home last night.  It was a cool weekend, more like early spring, vs. early summer, but it was nice weather.  My parents were there and we had family come down to; my aunt Susan, uncle Dan, my cousin Tim and his wife Amanda.  Kevin, however, got sick again with the stomach bug, he started Saturday night with it, he seems better today.  Sunday, we had septic tank problems, it was backed up.  Thankfully our neighbor that lives there all the time, knew someone to call and they came out and got it fixed. With it being a Sunday and a holiday weekend, we didn't know if we would be able to get it fix. Monday afternoon, Madalyn started running fever of 100 and threw up once. She made it home okay, but last night at 2:30, I got up to check on her and her fever was 103.7. I gave her some more medicine, some juice to drink, and started wiping her down with a cold wash cloth.  She went to the doctor today and they ran a UTI test on her, we are waiting on the results.  She couldn't go to the bathroom enough to get a good reading, so they are doing a culture test on her.  She has seemed like her regular happy self today, however this afternoon her fever went back up to 101. I just don't know, between her and Kevin, and myself we have been sick for the past two months off and on.  My parents had bought a new boat and this was the first weekend they had taken it out.  We liked it and we think it will be a nice change. He has always had a ski boat and bought a fun deck boat this time. It has more room to move around inside the boat, that's especially nice for Madalyn.

The water was too cold to get in, but Madalyn had fun playing on the edge. (She would have gone all in, but I stopped her. She has no fear.)

 

 

 

 

 

She loves to play in the water!

 

Even though she's not smiling here, she enjoyed riding in the boat.

 

Madalyn called this a "crayon" every time.

Madalyn fell asleep during the boat ride. I should have known then that she was getting sick.  She never just falls asleep like this.  She did think getting the trucks to blow their horns at the bridge was so much fun.
