Andy is feeling better!  He is well enough to wash the bikes.  That is a big sense of relief.

John had a play date with his friend, Ayden, today.  I don’t think they had any fun at all…

So, this was the best part of our day…  We woke up to John like this.  It got a little cold overnight, so he improvised.

However, it was a rough night.  Andy had pain in his left side yesterday that continued to get worse.  Overnight, he was completely miserable.  He is not one to take over-the-counter painkillers, but he finally gave in and took some ibuprofen about 4 am.  Needless to say, he did not sleep well and neither did I.  By 7:30 am, we made the decision to take him to Urgent Care back in Columbia.  We left the kids with the Cub Scout Pack and headed for Columbia.  By 11 am, Andy was out of Urgent Care with a prescription, but he was still in pain.

I took him home and got him into bed.  I stayed with him for a bit, but I had to get back to the campout because of the kids.  I felt terrible leaving Andy, but drove the hour back to the camp site.  As I drove, I knew that I would be packing up our gear and heading home.  Once I got back to Mark Twain State Park, I filled everyone in and then went to talk to the kids.  Laura decided to return home with me and John decided to return home with a friend Saturday evening.  With the help of some great friends, we got packed up quickly and then Laura and I left.  We returned home about 5:30 to a sleeping Andy.  We will see how tonight goes.  Hopefully, all will clear and he will be okay.

A Friday off does the heart good.  Andy and I rode from our house to Rocheport this morning.  Round trip was 41.4 miles.  It was a gorgeous day for a ride…

…and tasty food from Meriweather Café.

Tonight, we will be camping at Mark Twain State Park with John’s Cub Scout Pack – family, friends, and a fire!

John’s baseball team has an unofficial photographer – a grandfather of one of the boys.  Tonight, we were all given one of these.

I love it!  By the way, the boys won both of their games tonight.  Great job, Shockers!

While shopping at Aldi with John a few years ago, I found Apple Jacks with Marshmallows.  He asked if I could buy a box and he has loved them ever since.  The problem I have now is that Aldi is the only place that carries this particular kind of cereal and they only have it a couple of times a year.  Well, yesterday was my lucky day (or John’s), so I bought two boxes.  He is all smiles this morning!  Now, I have to get back there and buy more before it is gone again…
