Scout Camp Out

We had an eventful weekend. Grace came home Friday and went straight to bed. The next morning her temperature was 102 and climbing, and a quick trip to a local urgent care revealed that she had the flu, despite being vaccinated. The good news is she was given a new medicine - Xofluza - which knocked it right out, and she was significantly improved within 24 hours and was ready for school today.

Lauren was tied up doing school work all weekend because she missed two days of school last week for All County Band.

So... on those two fronts... it was not shaping up to be a great weekend.

However, George had a wonderful camping trip planned with the Scouts to a cavern about two hours away. Skip and George packed up their "Scout truck" and took off. They decided to make it a lengthy day trip instead of camping overnight because Grace's situation was still questionable, and we had been told to go to Children's if her condition worsened. (Thankfully, it didn't, but we didn't know that at the time.) George had to camp and have a good time on behalf of the whole family, and he didn't let us down. We got to enjoy a beautiful fall weekend through him.

As his smiles indicate, it was a great trip!
