There is no admission charge, but if you come swimming in our pool, you are bound to get thrown up at least once by my husband. The boys and their friends seem to love this and its especially entertaining to watch my husband try to throw older and/or "larger" children. This weekend was no exception and after watching him throw all the kids over and over I said jokingly, "Throw me daaaaaddy!" Luke looked at me and said "OK... you're next!" I promptly told him I was kidding, but he went into shark mode and started chasing me in the pool trying to grab a hold of me. Thanks to my religious, daily Dove Cream Oil lotion regimine I was in Luke's words "slick as a dolphin." (Those were Luke's words). He tried grabbing a hold of me several times, but after a good 3 minute chase I gave up.
Amazingly, he did get my big butt out of the water and threw me a good few feet to the deep end.
Thankfully, since I am the official family photographer there is no evidence of this throw actually occuring. But as always, I have a few good shots of the boys soaring through the air.
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.

I've never tried to grab hold of a dolphin, but I imagined them being more rubbery. Hmmmm . . .
I would have given a lot to see your sweet husband chase you and try to throw you in the pool. Now that would make the top of the you tube list!
