Bayview Beach

It's been hot this week and Monday we headed to the beach.

COVID

Ugh...Caroline tested positive for COVID, but I'm so grateful she had minor symptoms.  On Friday the 18th, she woke up with a headache and a temp of 100.2.  Saturday she felt fine, no headache and normal temp.  Sunday we went for a hike and she just wasn't herself.  I kept asking her if she was ok and she said she was fine.  A mile into our hike on a uphill climb I could see she was swaying backwards and that is when she said her belly hurt really bad and she was tired.  We hiked back down and headed home.  She felt better once we got home, but I took her in to get tested and got a positive result Monday.  The only lingering symptoms she had was congestion, which lasted about 4 days, and she lost her sense of smell, but she could taste.  On Friday the 25th, she felt 100% completely fine, but still can't smell.  The rest of us never had any symptoms and our tests were negative.  I got retested a few days later to be sure and it was still negative, which is really surprising since I gave her kisses, hugs, and shared food with her before knowing.

It wasn't a good way to start summer, but thankful it was a minor case and no one else got it. 

Happy 9th birthday, Caroline!

She had the best day with her friends!

These girls kept me laughing!

Escalator ride first, then ropes course

Water balloon fight...they went from a little wet to soaked fast!!

Haha, they had a blast!

Caroline's 9th Birthday Party

 Under the Sea party for a special little girl 💓

Caroline liked my blue outfit to match her theme

She loves her loft bed!

Life Lately

Filly lacrosse doing a tunnel for the seniors

An afternoon of fun at Smitty's ~ games, movie, and bowling

They watched by themselves

Last but not least, ice cream!

Caroline went for a sleepover at her friends and Charlotte worked with Daddy.  She loved driving the big 4 wheeler!

Alfred had no school Tuesday because the town was using the school for voting. And because it was soooo HOT, Charlotte took the day off and we headed for the pool.

They swam and played for 3 hours!

Lacrosse pictures and high school playoff game (they won!)

They didn't do much watching!

Ready for field day

Field day success!
