July 4

• On July fourth we decided to go get some delicious burgers. If you have never been to RED ROBIN you need to make a visit soon. The burgers are pricey,but worth every penny. The options are endless and for the healthy goers the chicken Sandwiches rank right up there with the juicy burgers. Samuel was feeling a little upset to his tummy that morning, but insisted that he would feel better once he ate. I had a little feeling his tummy ache was just the start of something else, and I was right. I have learned to always carry a thermometer with me where ever i go and when Samuel started turning white halfway through the meal i knew it was time to use it. Sure enough he had a fever of 101 degrees and we called it a day. We headed home to take care of Samuel and celebrate the holiday. Sam left to buy a couple of fireworks and sparklers for the boys to enjoy later that night. Sam had quite an audience of neighborhood kids watching and begging for Sparklers once the show was over. Vienna was really scared and had such a bewildered look on her face she didn't know what to make of the loud noises. Samuel had a persistent fever that never broke till Monday morning. It was the weirdest illness i have ever seen. All the kids eventually got it, but it was truly baffling. They all complained one day of a tummy ache and headache, but other than that it was just a high fever for 5 days. I am just glad to be over of it. I checked out a lot of wonderful books at the library on our nations holiday. Hopefully we can get to it this week-better late than never.
