Day 30 Livorno

Livorno

We all slept in until after 8 and Colin until after 9:30! Colin woke up sounding HORRIBLE. He’s very congested and hardly any voice, so we took advantage of being on a base and took him to the peds clinic for a check. Sure enough, upper respiratory infection and an ear infection. I can’t wait for the ENT consult to get this sorted out and hopefully he can stay well for longer than a month. He wasn’t letting the sickness slow him down any though and aside from sounding like a dog toy with a broken squeaker, he was ready to go. After the doctor we grabbed some lunch and then headed to the beach in the afternoon for a bit. The water was much colder than in southern Italy and wind made for some waves, so we didn’t get the water a whole lot. Colin and Daddy did a lot of digging in the sand and we buried Colin, which he thought was hilarious. A little relaxation and rest for all of us was a good thing. The sun was out but the breeze and scattered clouds made it a great beach day and not too hot. After the beach we hit the grocery for a few pickups to keep us snacking on the road and got some dinner. We ate outside on the porch of our cabin which was nice and peaceful. After eating Colin threw more rocks around and then he and Shelby went off watching ants. Shelby showed him all about the ant eater bugs down in the holes and they collected ants to go feed the anteaters with. Colin thought this was great fun. Later on it was popcorn and movies and another early bedtime. I’m going to miss vacation!
