I guess the Lord knew that we would need this stop at this time. We arrived in Michigan feeling pretty exhausted…Alethia just getting over an ear infection, Masami with an on-and-off light fever, and me with a sore throat and headache. On the 4th, Anthony woke-up feeling miserable and spiked a fever. By the evening, I was driving him to the hospital. We were supposed to leave Michigan on Thursday morning, but we pushed it back a day and canceled much of what was planned this week to recover.
Despite being sick, we had a great time with my Mom and Dikke. We spent much of the weekend playing outside in the kid pool and in the sand tray and enjoying the sunshine.
Dikke spent time “imagining” all sorts of things with Alethia and taught her the names of all the birds in the back yard.
Mom and I also took the kids to a local pool. We spent most of the time on the kid waterslide. Masami went for it before Alethia even mustered up the courage. He was so proud of himself for learning to go down it all by himself!
On Wednesday, the kids and I went to Lake Lansing with my step-dad Mark and uncle Jeff. It was the perfect day for it. The kids loved playing in the sand. Alethia loved wading in the water since it wasn’t very deep. She also made a friend and spent lots of time giggling and splashing with her. It was great catching-up with Mark and Jeff too!
