Bubba has found a team sport (YMCA basketball) he is interested in and I couldn't be more excited.
Yes--he is only seven but I am hoping this will blossom into a love for the game. He has the height...and luckily at this point he hasn't had to use it too much. At last week's game he got to jump for the ball at the beginning of the game. The other kid jumped to reach for the ball and all Bubba did was put his arms over his head...and he grabbed the ball. Maybe white boys can't jump.
Kidding.
Bubba scored on basket last game and he was very excited. I think I cheered so loud you would of thought he won the lottery.
There are 10-12 kids on the team so they play in 5 minute increments. While waiting to go back on th court its EASY for him to be distracted by his brother and buddies.
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.
