Bubba has been in Cub Scouts for two years now and Tubbs just joined when he turned eight this last April. This was our first year of sending the boys to the day camp because in the past, the boys have been out of town on Jeep trips. Another bonus this year was the fact that our ward contributed $20 to the fee for each boy.--- Which is really nice for having two boys!
The day camp was from 8:30am - 1:30am Monday through Friday. The boys had to miss Friday because they left on a Jeep trip to Big Bear.
The day camp required that two parent volunteers for each den help out each day. Luke took Tuesday and he sent me all sorts of pictures.
I think the boys' favorite part was archery....because they couldn't stop talking about it. I am really glad we were able to send both boys because it looked like a memorable experience. It was also fabulous because all the boys in the den were able to go, so they had plenty of friends.
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.
