This summer the kids went on their annual camping trip with Grandma and Grandpa Hogue. The snag in the plan came when Tubb's football team suddenly declared all practices were mandatory a few days before they were scheduled to leave. Sadly, Tubbs had to make the decision to stay home from the trip.
So early Sunday morning we drove up to Tehachapi and saw Bubba and Wiggy off for the week. They lose reception once they get to a certain point, so I always miss hearing from them through the week.
On Sunday evening I got a text message from my friend Sarah Stevens in Temecula. They were camping in the same campground as my kids and she saw them! She sent a few photos through the week when she was in Bishop shopping. Wiggy played with her two little girls through the week, so I thought that was fun too. Wiggy and Helena have visited each other a few times over the years when I meet up with Sarah in San Diego.
Saturday afternoon Tubbs was so happy to see his brother and sister. I think he enjoyed the peace and quiet and getting some extra attention--but he really did miss them.
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
