A Sad Start to Summer

We planned to spend the first official day off of school at the Y's water park. The kids were thrilled. That is, until Sunday afternoon when Mackenzie came down with the same high fever the boys had last weekend.

I let them all know immediately that we would not be going to the pool. "Aww Mama," Mackenzie said in her saddest voice, "if we can't go swimming tomorrow, will there be many more days in the summer to go to the pool?"
