Kites

What do you do when everyone is sick in the house? Go see some kites! We packed up and tried to get a little sunshine on us today. Katelee woke up barking like a seal this morning. She has a pathetic cry today, sounding like a sick kitten. We are pretty sure the congestion bug got her. Olivia caught it also (and may have originated it all), and she saw the doctor yesterday for some comfort medicine. Mark continues to cough up his lungs and is living on Vick's 44 cough syrup. Grandma Donner believes we have poor immune systems and threatens to send Ozark dirt our way to build them up. For whatever reason, Guam seems to breed cold and flu. Many people get sick here who don't deal with illness elsewhere. Warm climate? Lots of contact with others in outside activities? Who knows?


We did enjoy a kite festival today though. The Make A Wish Foundation sponsored it: http://www.guamwish.org/. We saw lots of cool kites -- Finding Nemo, Dragon, Octopus, Eagles, Rainbows, Gecko, etc. We lasted about an hour before the Olivia crashed. It was good to get out for a bit though.
