I was lucky enough to avoid getting sick, but somehow it was worse seeing my two guys out for the count for more than a week. There is a very helpless feeling that comes when your family is sick. Other than administering fever suppressants and making homemade chicken soup, there was nothing more I could do but watch them listlessly flop from one couch to another, uncomfortable and hurting.
It was unpleasant indeed. But late last week the worst of it was behind us and a long weekend loomed ahead. Healthy again, we set out to create some long weekend memories that left our week trapped indoors and on the couch in the dust.
It included walks through magical, dewy forests.
Romps in the fallen leaves on windy beaches.
A visit to a train museum that was full of wonderful surprises.
Like a ride on their mini train, and an up close look at the Royal Hudson steam engine. She might be retired but let me tell you, she's still got it.
But most of all this weekend included one very happy and healthy boy. Which was the very best medicine of all.
