South Bend and Sickness

Hi there! We have had a rough week and a half at the Sungy house. Between the stomach flu, the regular flu, and a concussion (Alec fell out of bed onto his head the night after he spent the day on the couch with the stomach flu), we have been pretty much down and out for the last 10 days. However, we did manage to squeeze in a road trip to South Bend with the Wolfe clan last weekend to celebrate Matt and Julie's bdays. Julie and I found a random groupon a few months ago for a lodge in South Bend and we decided what the hell....it's a good place b/w Chicago and Cleveland and none of us had been to Notre Dame. Ended up being a great place for the kids, there was a heated pool and a hot tub, the rooms had kitchens so we were able to cook, there was a great sports bar area where we could watch the games and the kids could play, and it was minutes from the campus. Jason's cousin coaches crew at ND so she was able to get us free tixs to the bball game on Sat, so we also got to take all the kids to the ND/Connecticut game. It was a super fun weekend, and definitely a place we would like to go back to, especially me, who spent the majority of the trip miserable and in bed:( Here are a few random pics that I mustered the strength to take, and, I am thrilled to report that it appears we are all finally feeling better.

Watching the football games on Sat. The bar ended up being full of Broncos fans, which was fun....until about 10 minutes into the first quarter:)


Sporting their matching sweaters for the lovely 11 degree day today

and heading for the stairs...this is his reaction to me getting frustrated with him for wanting to climb up them yet again
