The boys took their first swim lesson at the Swim Club Yesterday. (Watch out Michael Phelps!)Like most kids I'm sure, the boys got really motivated during the Olympics this year. We tried to teach them some different strokes on our own but with the weather cooling off (and neither Luke or I wanting to get in the pool) we decided to sign them up at BSC. The pool is indoors and heated so I am sure they were loving it.
I hope they both continue to love swimming and will encourage them to compete if they show interest! We'll see. At this point, I also think its a great way for them to burn energy after school. Yesterday Tubbs opted to stay home with me instead of going to pre-school. He told me several times, "I want to do something fuuuun!" Me laying on the couch and him watching TV and video games was a bit dull I guess. He watched "Sid the Science Kid" and "WordWorld" a few too many times.
Sorry Tubbs... Mama will be more fun in a week or two!
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.
