The "Water Park"

Here I am. Blogging. From home.

Earlier this week, we planned an impromptu getaway to  spa resort/water park near Houston.  And... we never made it.   We planned to leave on Friday at 12:00 pm. Thursday night at 12:00 am, Tate woke up with a fever of 103.9.  Long story short, we had to cancel and make the "best" of it. Well, the "best" that you can make out of it when you desperately needed to get away and instead you are stuck at home with a sick toddler, a disappointed 5 year-old, and a dog who had to have (unplanned) surgery on an abscess at the vet on Friday.

Tate started feeling better late on Saturday, so we brought the water park to us...

Instead of relaxing on a chaise lounge by the pool, we built a fort in the kitchen...

And we used our own trampoline instead of jumping on a hotel bed before going to sleep...

I won't lie: it was not the same. And Mike did not even try to pretend to be a cabana boy and bring me drinks.  But this family perseveres, and we had a great Saturday. Together. That's all we really wanted anyway. :)
