the fun continues! ~Friday and Saturday

so, where did I leave off...last week, Marc took Friday off to 'enjoy summer'. The day turned gray and oh so humid. We decided to go to the beach anyway. We found one close by and just went. The place was a little sketchy. But we certainly couldn't change our minds after Avery knew the plan, so in we went. They were setting up for their bluegrass festival and there were some campers but other than that, the place was empty. We were fine with that, we don't like people all that much anyway! So, we hiked over to the beach. The wind wouldn't stop and it was COLD! The sand wasn't that nice beach sand, it was sandbox dirt. We were disapointed but whatever, it was 30 mins away. Then we saw lots of sea life washed up. Strange. Then Avery broke out in the worst hives I've ever seen. That poor kid's arms, legs and EARS were red and blotchy.

We packed up after maybe half an hour. We hiked back to the car and threw everything and everyone in the car. Avery was so sad. And the swelling was starting to hurt. Nora was just shocked and wondering what this game was. We went straight to Walmart to get benedryl. And by the time we were home, they were almost gone. Few. (nurse thought it was from a virus, she'd had hives off and on all week)

Anyway, we spent the day home and it was fine. Friday night she had a fever 102 which lasted through Saturday night. Of course Saturday turned out to be one of the hottest, most humid days. Poor thing.

Thanks Marc for taking the day. Sorry it didn't turn out to be much fun but it was a little advernture, I suppose!
