Making the most out of… the lemons…

So Soojin got the flu… 
She called me at work from home after 1 pm. Work has been getting very busy as of late but she has to get rest…. So I headed home and she had fever just over 100 F.  So after dishes and such, I decided to take the kids outside since that would be the best way for Soojin to get rest.  So I decided to make the most out of it by taking them to Bay Area Park and pick up a pizza from Papa John’s on the way back.

I was partially(?) sick but I wanted to make the most out of this “situation” and the kids had a blast at the playground… and after about an hour and half of running around, swinging, and chasing, we headed to the lake… and just… watched.  Sat by the “shore” on a bench and watched the birds… counted how many were sitting on a tree…

We walked back holding hands… and then tried to race together… WHILE holding hands!    And then picked up the pizza but since JJ was falling asleep in the car, I offered him a deal .. “blue juice” aka. Gatorade Frost!   Anna and JJ also discovered how much they love Papa John’s (good-for-nothing) garlic butter.  At least, despite our being sick, they had a blast.  Soojin is now on the good ol’ TheraFlu.
