The Boardwalk

All of us have been fighting  nasty colds this week. Yesterday was Mike's last day of his three days off. So we decided since we were all feeling a little better that we should get out of the house. We thought we would escape the heat and head to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Too bad is was just as hot there.

The boys had lots of fun riding all the rides.

Then we got some Dip-n-Dots and cooled off in the arcade.

The heat and walking were starting to get to us a bit. We noticed Josh's eyes looking red and Mike's cough was quickly coming back. We pressed on and had a nice dinner on the water. We made sure to go on the pier and  check out all the cool boats before we left.

This is Jason doing the "wiggly dance". It's what their Grandma does to make them smile in pictures. Too cute!

After our fun day we got home, hit the hay and woke up this morning to both boys sick again. Now they both have swollen, red eyes with icky goop coming out. Being the weekend, we had to take them an hour away to the nearest Kaiser that was open. Turns out their cold spread to their eyes. We got drops and should be good in a few days. The worst part is we were told it is highly contagious for the next 24 hours they are on the eye drops. So what do you think I have been doing all day... a million loads of sheets, blankets, pillows, clothes and lysoling(is that a word?) everything in sight.

I will be so happy when we are all totally healthy again. I was pretty bummed to cancel plans we had with friends both today and tomorrow due to the nasty eyes. Overall, super fun family day yesterday at the Boardwalk though!
