Tired and weary from a week full of travels, we made our way up to the Annual Lace Family Reunion in Cherry Valley. I say Annual, but this was our first time (as a family) to attend one. It was very nice and you could tell that a lot of effort was put into making it that way. They had prizes, games, good food, and birthday cake. I don't really know whose birthday it was, besides Uncle Bob. I probably still wouldn't know who Uncle Bob is, but we sang Happy Birthday to him anyway!
The night before the reunion Trey came in from playing outside and started complaining about his neck hurting....and he looked sick. So, I took his temp and it was over 101. I gave him Tylenol and made him rest. He went to bed early and slept with us. I just couldn't put him all the way back in his room! So, when he woke up Saturday he had a low-grade fever, so we (Carl) decided it would be okay to go ahead and go. I wasn't happy because I knew he didn't feel good, and he kept complaining about his throat. He ended up sleeping most of the way there and did pretty good. By the time we left, I started feeling bad too, and sure enough by the time we got home I had a fever too! I'm still not sure what it was. The sore throat lasted about 3 or 4 days and the fever only lasted a day or two. It was probably something we caught on our trip. Thankfully nobody else got it :)

Makena let Trey sleep on her lap.
Carl, his mom and the kids
You can tell by his eyes that he wasn't completely well.
Carlie an Makena got to play with their cousin, Emma. Emma lives in Iowa and we haven't seen her in bout 4 years, so it was good that they got to play together.
