Hopefully not a trend

We're having a great time with Gretchen's family, although we've now had two visits from adults with children and the first two days have followed the same trend--we're hoping it gets broken this time:

VISIT 1
Day 1: Family arrives, too wiped out by jet lag to do much, lots of sleep
Day 2: Enough energy to see Basel; child vomits
Day 3: Kirk and Gretchen get the stomach flu

VISIT 2
Day 1: Family arrives, too wiped out by jet lag to do much, lots of sleep
Day 2: Enough energy to see Basel; child vomits
Day 3: ?????

My fingers are crossed...

(I have to say, the kids are real troopers--if jet lag is tough on those of us adults who travel regularly, I can't imagine how much harder it must be on kids who aren't used to the big change in their body clocks.)
