Not quite like it was planned...

Merek's big birthday bash didn't go quite as planned... instead of celebrating at the water park in Grand Forks, the kids were all home, sick in bed. They came down with "flu-like" symptoms one after another like dominoes - first B, then Merek and finally Kylyn. It knocked them all out pretty hard, so there was no way they could have made the trip to GF.

Bob and I didn't have it quite as rough... Makee and Paca came to the rescue and stayed home with the kids, while we went up to UND to the hockey games. We ended up having a great time, but not without feeling just a wee bit of guilt!

Of course we couldn't let Merek's "DinaSIR" cake go to waste. We sang happy birthday and gobbled down a few delicious pieces before making the road trip.
