BubbaTubbs: The White Stuff

The White Stuff

Of all days we decided it would be fun to head to the snow bright and early on New Year's Day. Shirley Meadows was the destination.
(We assumed we would be the only sober ones there so early since we conked out WAY BEFORE midnight the night before).
The boys got to try out the snow pants I snagged up from Target last month before they could put out their BIKINIS. (Don't get me started on this topic!)
Anywho--the pants were great...and cheap.

Next year I am going to be ambitious and buy them snow jackets too. This year they had to settle for the sweatshirts they wear to school.

Petunia was more than toasty in the leopard snow outfit Grandpa Hogue bought her in September. Apparently he got a GREAT deal on it from Sports Chalet in September. (I will be keeping my eyes peeled for more deals this year!)

A rare North American Snugglebug is spotted out of her habitat! :)

Luke, Bubba and his buddy give it a thumbs up.

Part of the snow crew. I think they all got bored before their two hours of tubing was up. They all were caught throwing snowballs (made of old, icy, dirty snow) at each other near the parking lot.

A few tears were shed.

Good times!

Tubbs made a snow/dirt angel near the parking lot. Much more fun than tubing apparently.

We packed a lunch...and I am glad we did. Tubbs takes eating Cheetos VERY seriously!

Our entertainment at lunch was watching the guy in the car parked next to us smoke his "joint" of marijuana on the tailgate of his vehicle. He was so blatant about it, I was wishing at that moment I was an officer of thee law. It was irritating. Right in front of a 9-10 year old kid that was with him....and he was the driver. He even passed us on the way up the mountain.

(Stupidity should hurt)

This lady had on the snow outfit I was planning on wearing. Thank goodness I changed my mind at the last minute.

Me and my boys.....cold, dirty and tired.

Time to hit the road.

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.
