So……tomorrow is the CDW buy-out day at Great America. The park does not open until May 4th, but CDW buys out the park on the last Sunday before opening. Only CDW employees and their registered dependents get tickets. That means the lines are a lot shorter, even for the good rides. It’s supposed to be mid 60’s and sunny tomorrow – perfect park weather! And because CDW buys the tickets (and includes a lunch in the picnic grove area at no extra charge), we might be able to get season passes for the $35 upgrade fee rather than a usual $65 pass rate. So of course, we have been planning on this for months!

And……..that’s why it makes perfect sense that Kayla came home from a slumber party this morning with a 101 degree fever! Looks like a virus, so we will still go tomorrow if only to get the passes purchased. It just means that we will drive separately, get our passes, and as soon as Kayla can’t take any more I will bring her home. With a good night’s sleep and plenty of meds, she might be OK. We are more worried that she will miss the special band practice on Monday night. Missing that practice could mean she would not be allowed to participate in Honors Band next Saturday. I am hoping it will run its course in the next 24 hours. Viruses usually do with her. She just woke up from a 1.5 hour nap. Still has a slightly sore throat and looks pretty glassy. Fever down to 99.5 with Tylenol running out in the next 2 hours.

I will have a much bigger post soon – Six Flags pix of at least Kevin and Ashley!
