October 10-13, Saturday-Tuesday

Betsi flew to Ironwood, MI to see Chris and Price.  Chris's brain tumor continues to grow, but she remains in good spirits.  See more photos.

October 19, Monday

Ainsley stays home from school because of her a fever.

October 20, Tuesday

Ainsley's temperature keeps spiking to 105 degrees in the late afternoon and evening.  Betsi takes her to the emergency room at 10:00pm where she is diagnosed with the flu.  The doctors didn't want to test for the N1H1 strain.

October 22, Thursday

We had reached the peak of the autumn colors and I haven't even taken any photos.  Other commitments and bad weather got in the way.  I grabbed the camera during a dog walk and took what I could.  None of the photos are special, but just a reminder the colors changed.

October 23, Friday

Ryan, Tim and Timmy attend the school Fall Festival as Jeff takes pictures at the photo booth.

October 24, Saturday

The Webelos Ree camping is held every year where multiple Boy Scouts troops show multiple Webelos packs what fun they can have when they continue their scouting with the Boy Scouts.  The Boy Scouts demonstrate different skills such as fire building, cooking, ax and knife safety, etc.

Jeff and Ryan arrive Saturday morning during a break in the rain.  Ryan gets some help setting up his tent in the high winds.  The wind almost collapsed other tents.  The steady rain turned into a down pour as Mr. S. lead the boys on a one mile compass course.  They came back dripping wet.  If you have the right clothing (and wear it), you'll stay warm and dry.  See more photos.

October 25, Sunday

Betsi repaints the dinning room while Ainsley continues to rest.  Her fever keeps returning and this is the seventh day of a fever.

October 27, Tuesday

Ainsley returns to school.  Betsi and Jeff do a happy dance.

October 31, Saturday, Halloween

We met for a chili dinner at Rich and Sue's house before braving the rain.  As always, we pulled a rolling cooler of beverages in case anyone got thirsty.  See more photos.
