By the last day of the conference both Daniel and I were feeling a fair bit better. I sat through a part of the conference (but it was sooo hot in the classroom!) but didn't know what was really going on as I'd been out of it for so long. Didn't know who was who either, at least not everyone. I didn't have a job as the cooks and babysitting positions had all been eagerly filled while I was sick. And I had no kitchen to cook meals in or clean, and my laundry was done by a helpful lady....so I had nothing to do. I felt lost, and sorry for myself most of the day. I did get to fill in as a babysitter when M started feeling tired and wanted to rest a bit more. I think I'll be a cranky old senior when I get to the stage where I can't contribute physically to helping others or myself. It's hard to fell like you have no purpose!
Daniel enjoyed the restful time. There were lots of books laying around (now that he'd run out of comics) for when he wasn't up to running around yet.
The trampoline gets a lot of use!
The kids that needed watching were all very cute. :)
In between meetings and when the conference was over the adults meandered over to have their snacks and to gab together.
The kids tried out the baseball gloves. Note that most people hang out in the shade. It sure makes a difference if you are in the sun or not!
I think we went out for dinner this evening. Because I'm pretty sure that I was sick again that night, and up for Nathan who was sick (but not admitting it...I only ate too much, I'm not sick). It was so different going to a classy restaurant like you were back in Canada, having delicious Chinese food and in a clean cool place. Such a contrast to a lot of what we have seen. It was delicious too!
