The weekend before Halloween (and Quincy's B'day) we were out and about the entire weekend. Saturday night we took Quincy to "Boo at the Zoo". On this night, they shut down the animal exhibits at the zoo and turn it in to a fun, family-friendly evening filled with trick-or-treating, train rides, and lots of scary stuff. Prior to leaving, Quincy had a cough, which she had for the previous two weeks, but she wasn't running a fever so we thought it would be okay to go. We were wrong. Sunday evening she did not have a good sleep and ended up throwing up she was coughing so hard. Monday she woke up with a fever so I took her to the doctor's office. They did their exam, took a couple of chest x-rays, and announced Quincy has pneumonia! The last time I took her to the doctor for an extended cough, I was told it is just a cold and the cough will eventually go away. Huh. After a week of antiobiotics and rest, she is now healthy and back to normal....
The day after Boo at the Zoo we spent the whole day at Cagle's Dairy where we went for a hay ride, got to pet the goats and calfs, got lost in a corn-maze, and then spent an hour (!) jumping on the inflatables. Oh! And we got to see how they get milk out of a cow----it's not by a Danish women in pig-tails. In spite of the fact that it was a beautiful 75 degrees out, in retrospect this might not have been the best thing to do as this was the night Quincy became soooo sick. But she did have a great time.....
