The Saga Continues...And gets better

So Monday morning, Laura took Camille to the doctor's office. We find there that Camille not only has croup, but also bronchitus...a wonderful combo. She's given a different medicine to take and told she has to stay out of school until Wednesday...great for Laura and I who both have busy weeks. Laura stays home Monday and I take Tuesday. Monday is filled with great quality time for Mommy and Daughter...grocery shopping, resting, etc.

Camille sleeps well through Monday night in her own bed!! She still has some trouble breathing and coughing, but I believe she stayed down till 7 or 7:30. When she did wake up, we just did our normal morning routine. After breakfast, we decided that we would go outside to check out the day and it was a beautiful, cool morning. We sat on the driveway and waved at all the cars and people headed to work. I believe Camille even said "see you suckers" to a couple folks...j/k :) You can tell from the below picture though that we had fun!

Next, we decided that we'd enjoy the beautiful day at Lake Benson Park for a little while. Since Camille was contagious, we decided not to play on the playground, but just explore in the woods. We went for a nature walk and looked at doggies, squirrels, and birds...part of the time Camille walked herself and part Daddy had to carry her.  We even went down to the lake and watched some older kids skipping rocks.
Camille and I had so much fun exploring and playing that we actually went back to the park after lunch and did it all over again.

After the park, we capped off our day of "hooky" by hitting up Pelicans for a snowcone or ice as Camille calls it. She absolutely loved it screaming "mo, mo, mo"! When Mommy got home and we told her about our day, she said Camille's never going to want to stay with Mommy again.  What could have been a boring sick day turned into a Daddy/Daughter Extravaganza. I don't remember having any sick days like this...
