Last weekend was the annual Carmichael Thanksgiving. It was a beautiful weekend! Unfortunately, the stomach flu found our family and ruined our plans. Aiden was sick early Thursday morning, but after a few hours of agony turned around and felt great by the time we went to the hockey game on Friday night. Saturday morning Tyson woke up with the same belly bug:( Since this is the one time out of the year that I get to see a lot of the family, Scott encouraged me to go down with Aiden while he stayed home with Tyson. I wasn't feeling all too swell that morning either, but just chalked it up to a couple of short nights while taking care of sick kids. Tyson was totally bummed that he couldn't go. He had colored dish towels for his craft and was devastated that he wouldn't be able to present them in person:(
We had it out at Mom's and since it was so nice we were able to eat in the garage/outside.
We had only been there a couple of hours when it became very clear that I wasn't just "tired". I ended up retreating to Mom's room, and Scott and Tyson had to come down later in the afternoon to pick me and Aiden up because I was in no condition to drive.
Thankfully the bug only lasted about 6 hours, but they seemed like forever!! Even though I only got to visit with everyone for an hour before I got sick, I'm glad I at least got to see them. Now I just hope we can have better luck next year! :)
