Bubba's friend came over to play Saturday and they all decided they wanted to jump in the pool. We settled on something else. Big Papa gave in and let the boys dig out the slip-n-slide. I frankly thought they were all crazy, but when they all looked at me (pleading)--I said, "whatever......go ahead."
I sat in a lawn chair on the grass, trying to catch some much needed rays on my pale skin. I didn't pay much attention to how long we were all out there, but it didn't seem like that long. I was really surprised that night when Bubba tells us his back hurts. Luke has him take off his shirt and his shoulders are red. 7 years old and Bubba got his first sunburn---in March! I totally blew it. I was so proud of the fact that I always lube my boys up with sunblock in the summer time and they had never had a burn before. Now my record is blown.---- I guess the 75 degree weather just threw me off. I'll do better next time. :)
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 LOVE that last picture. Remember the days when you wore your bathing suit in the front yard and not care who photographed you. Good times.
