Luke surprised us one Sunday after church with a picnic at the park. We all changed out of our church clothes and Luke loaded up ice chests and plastic bags full of stuff.
The weather was perfect...and everyone was in a good mood. We were off to a good start.
Luke BBQ'd some turkey burgers complete with avocado and bacon. The boys got hot diggity dogs.
Throw in some BBQ chips, pineapple, potato salad and some Coke Zeros....mmmmmmmmm!
Luke also brought a basketball, a frisbee,and a blanket for us to roll around on with Petunia. I could've napped for hours in the shade under the tree---- Too bad I had to be responsible and keep one eye open to watch the kids! :)
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.
