Home, At Last

We arrived home today after a fantastic vacation.  After the first week in Tahoe, we didn't know if it was a great idea to continue onto Colorado.  Maggie was still sick and in Colorado, medical care was going to be more difficult than Tahoe.  But her fever broke and we decided God doesn't like a coward, so we headed across the Nevada desert.  

We arrived in Colorado a day later with our semi-healthy kid for a few days visit with The Dad's family.  We spent four days fishing, four-wheeling and riding horses.  Despite their tendency to be girly-girls, Colorado always inspires my kids to get dirty.  It was great fun Colorado style. 

We left yesterday and started driving home.  After a night in lovely Ely, Nevada, we finished the trip home this afternoon.  And guess who arrived home sick?  La Nina!  As of this evening she's running a fever of 102.  At least she waited until we arrived home.  Hopefully, this won't be a five day ordeal involving antibiotics and a trip to the doctor, like her sister.  But at least we're home and only missing trips to the pool, not days at the beach, hiking and fireworks.
