disney vacation - day 4...

so, i hinted in the day 3 post, that we should have known something was up...

well, friday before we left, max had a few "bug bites" on his arm and back.  he had been doing yard work with grama that day, so i thought nothing of it.  saturday they looked the same, sunday there were a few more but he seemed fine and they literally looked like small bug bites.  monday night i called nurse direct and chatted it up with a very nice nurse and she said, give him benadryl, keep him happy, and not to worry.
well, that night he woke up crying and had a fever.  so we gave him some ibuprofen and all went back to sleep.  tuesday morning we woke up and realized that....

our little guy had the CHICKEN POX!!!!

seriously, on our long awaited vacation to disney and he breaks out in the pox.  

he enjoyed his popsicles and we had a day of rest and by 5pm, he was back to normal.

and by back to normal i mean, he was ready to go.

we ventured to downtown disney and walked around,

had a great dinner at an irish pub,

listened to some live music,

saw some awesome lego displays, 

and ventured into this awesome disney store.

now, i don't know about any of you, but disney might be the best place to have the chicken pox.

the heat helped the blisters dry up in record time.  he didn't really itch, his blisters didn't leak, and he only had a fever that one night.  now, i know, we probably should have stayed in our hotel, laid low and rested.  and we would have done that if max didn't feel good, but he was really his regular happy go lucky self and was ready to rock and roll.  we did our best to be very mindful of our surroundings and still managed to have an amazing trip.
