Summer flu

On Thursday evening I started not feeling so well. Friday I was still sick and A had developed a fever. J started getting a fever on Saturday and the rest of us were still sick, so we went to see a doctor.
They gave us a flu test (which was more uncomfortable than I thought it was going to be) and told us we all had influenza type A, which probably means "swine flu." Getting pandemic flu was not on my list of things to do this year. Luckily we saw the doctor fast enough to get the Tamiflu and everyone is feeling much better. I still have congestion and coughing, but the kids fevers are gone.
Raymond, S, and G haven't gotten sick. I'm hoping it stays that way.

Free Summer Fun

The kids are out of school. What are you doing to keep them busy this summer? We will be having our own little summer school. To keep it interesting, I've been looking into free or nearly free events to keep them busy and occupied. Here are some I've found mostly in Northern Utah since that's where I live. If anyone wants to attend these events with us, let me know! We'll have our own little summer camp.

-Saturday, June 6 Free Fish Day in throughout the state.
- Thursday, June 11 Free admittance to This is the Place Heritage Park
- West Fest, June 25-27 Parade Saturday morning
- First Wednesday of the month free at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts
- First Monday of the month free at the Utah Museum of Natural History. We will go on Monday, August 3.
- Free admittance to many National Parks across the USA on the third weekend of the month throughout the summer. See http://www.nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparks.htm
-Salt Lake County Fair August 5-8. Admittance is free, parking is $5.

That's what I know about so far. If anyone knows about others, please let me know!
