8/2/12

Today started off about the same as yesterday...although, I did wake up with a little headache. I took some meds right away, and hoped with all my might that it would go away. Christian was off to work, the rest of us had a big family breakfast, got ready and headed out for the day. Today, we were off to Como Zoo/Como Town for the day. A couple weeks ago there was a StarTribune Steal for Como Town, for two ride wristbands, so we both bought the deal.

We started off in the zoo, checking out all of the animals. It was pretty good weather today, not too hot, so all of the animals were actually out and alert for a change. Olivia couldn’t wait to see the Giraffes, her favorite, just like her mommy. Amelia loved the monkey’s, like usual. The polar bear was putting on a good show for the crowd, the grizzly bears from North Dakota were excited to see everybody and the penguins were having quite the pool party. It was a great day for the zoo.

We made our way back to the car to have a little picnic for lunch and rest for a little bit. Then, finally made our way to Como Town, which made the boys VERY happy. We went on tons of rides, Olivia played a little carnival game and won herself a cute stuffed frog and played in the water for a bit.

Finally, my headache started to catch up with me, and I couldn’t take it anymore. Our friends hung out and went on some more rides, while the girls and I made our way home. It just kept getting worse, and fast, and when I was about 5 minutes away from home, I had to pull over on the side of the road. I just couldn’t make it, and it was NOT a pretty sight. I was finally able to get us home…the girls had slept the whole way home, and went down for a nap. I also had to lie down and rest for a while. Christian made dinner and finished up as our friends arrived home. I peeled myself out of bed and joined the group for dinner, and took some more meds.

I finally started feeling better after I got some food in my system. We all made our way outside for a while. Running around, playing some ball, playing in the sandbox. Perfect night for some outdoor fun. As the sun went down, Christian started up the bonfire, we had some s’mores and relaxed around the fire. Everybody made their way to bed, and Dawn and I spent the night chatting around the fire until we were both ready to pass out. Another great day down, minus the debilitating migraine.
