Colds, Flu and Field Trips

Seriously, that pretty much sums up our week. We’ve actually had sickness here in our house for about two weeks now. I think we’re pretty much over it . . . just a few lingering coughs and a 10 day course of medication that needs to be completed for strep throat.

Somehow though, in among the sickness, we managed to squeeze in a few field trips. The first one was to the RBG where we learned all about wildflowers and how to identify them. The kids fed the birds and chipmunks out of their hands. Despite the cool weather, we all enjoyed the hike and the fresh air did us good.
