It's been just over two weeks and the boys are itching to go camping/4-wheelin' again.
Luke, my dad and Luke's parents had a camping/Jeep trip planned for several months. Luke's parents wee going to bring their RV up, which was going to be very helpful. There were several Jeep trails they guys mapped out and they were motivated. However, last week my dad found out some of the trails were closed because of court orders. Crazy environmentalist! :)
They were not very happy, but somehow managed t modify their trip to make it worthwhile.
The morning they were set to leave, Luke's parents needed to cancel because of some medical concerns. Luke spoke to my dad and they decided to postpone the trip...and after an hour of deliberation, my dad called Luke back and they decided to go ahead and go. Luke just needed to go buy a tent and purchase food that didn't require the amenities of the RV to be cooked.
They left the house on Thursday morning with family prayers and some big kisses from Wiggy and mama!
When they pulled up to the house on Saturday evening they were dirty and STINKY! They took a long swim in the pool to clean up and cool off.

Grandpa Baer's Jeep stuck on an obstacle. Poor Seven Bears!! :)
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.
