We came home from IL on Friday the 26th with Brendan still not feeling great.
He was later diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. He broke out in all these extremely itchy and painful blisters. The poor kid had a rough week. Trevor ended up getting it too. His feet itched so much it was maddening. Bill got a bad case with blisters on his hands. I had a very mild case too.
On a happier note, Bill got himself and early birthday present, or late father’s day gift, or maybe both.
Thursday’s plan was a trip to Great America but Brendan was not feeling well. He was exhausted from such a busy week. He opted to have a down day with Gizmo at home with me.
He loves to say “squirrel!!” and then watch Gizmo go nuts checking the windows and barking
Trevor got to be the center of attention all day. It was good for him!
Not sure about this…

Kid coaster
He is getting close to being able to ride just about anything. For now, The Whizzer is the biggest coaster that he has been on. Every kid needs to start with the Whizzer, it is a classic!
Teacups
Blue Icee!
Drop ride again, like every year!
