Illegal Christmas Activities

I am pretty sure this was not legal, but no one seemed to mind.
We were so thrilled to have snow on Christmas so I guess that entitled us to do whatever we wanted.There was all ready a little snow on the ground so we were beyond thrilled when a storm moved in around noon. The wind picked up and the snow was coming down pretty good. The boys got bundled up and headed out with Grandpa and Luke to have some fun. A while later I worked up my courage, borrowed some boots and snow attire from Luke's sister and I headed out to join the fun.

The fog and snow was coming down so good I could hardly see everyone down the street but I could hear Luke's niece screaming "Faster!" I soon saw headlights coming my way and I had to laugh.
Luke had a tow strap attached to a plastic sled and he was driving up and the down the street with the kids in tow.
I wasn't brave enough to try it, but it looked fun...and wet. Luke is always looking for an excuse to use his tow strap and yesterday he had one. Kylee kept telling him to go faster and just ONCE I wanted to see him punch the gas and watch her come flying down the street. But with our track record (and bad luck) I knew she would literally come flying down the street. I really didn't want to go to the ER on Christmas. Maybe another day---but not Christmas.
What you cannot see in these pictures is all frozen snot! Yum!

Sure it is legal. Jordan used to do it with the hood off the truck that was pulling 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.
