Memorial Day weekend.

We went to the ranch for Memorial Day weekend. We left Saturday early afternoon. It always seems to take us way too long to get out of the house. Talon was sick with fever the day before, but the fever seemed to have passed and so off we went. It wasn't raining when we got there and unloaded, but it rained the rest of the day. The kids still had fun though. Their favorite thing to do in the basement is to play with all the dress up clothes. Talon was still pretty sick and slept most of the day. Sunday morning I had Jileigh help me get the kids bathed and then we went to sacrament meeting at the local town. The day was sunny so the kids got to go down the zipline several times each. They even had Beau go down it. They told me afterwards. I would have loved to have taken a picture of it. Monday was a beautiful day too. Matt and his cousin Dave worked on building a new ladder to get up to the zipline over the pond. I helped clean up as much as I could in the basement and main floor living room. I couldn't even begin to go in the kitchen. The other ladies had all sorts of cleaners being sprayed to clean the oven and the cupboards. Talon was able get up some and play with the kids, but still didn't have much of an appetite. We drove home that evening and made hamburgers for dinner. Then we all crashed in bed. Sorry I was lame and didn't take any pictures.

Tuesday morning Jileigh, Talon, Angelique, and Jaren were all sick running fevers. They watched TV and slept a lot that day. Tuesday the fevers were mild, but they were still down with no appetite. By Wednesday, Talon, Jileigh and Jaren feeling better, but still coughing. Angelique is still down with a fever. I basically have to make her drink and eat a little bit of food. Amazingly, Safia and Beau haven't shown any signs of sickness. Usually the littlest ones are the most susceptible.
