Our weekend began with Raffy running a few for two days, Saturday morning we went to the Urgicare to get him checked out. It was an ear infection and he was feeling almost back to normal by the end of the day.

After we went home and rested awhile, Raffy was insistent that he wanted to go to the local town fair’s parade, I hoped he would want to stay home and rest more, especially because the heat index was 108. We decided to go because these glimpses of Midwest American Culture are rare for them and we want to make the most of our time here. It was very hot, Raffy was over getting candy and watching the parade after 20 minutes but Felicity didn’t complain about the heat and wanted to stay. We stayed til the end then went home quickly with bags full of candy.

On Sunday we had cousins over in the morning and then we met my godparents at the town fair to ride the rides. It was very hot but the kids had a lot of fun despite the heat, keeping cool with sno-cones and lemonade. We jumped in the pool as soon as we got home to cool off.

The kids went back to camp on Monday for their last week of camp in the US. My mom and I took the advantage of the kid-free time to get matching mother-daughter tattoos that we had been planning on for awhile but needed to go without the kids.

Until next time!
