Bubba took up the clarinet this year. He had to pick an instrument and since I owned a clarinet from when I was his age, he thought it would be cool. (I think his fist choice was a trumpet or the tuba.) :)
He did a great job at the concert and seemed to have a good time. For some reason, when he brought his clarinet to the concert, he didn't bring it in the case. So, by the time he got on stage to perform, he had chipped the reed. So...I am not sure how well he was able to play or how much squeaking actually took place.
No matter what, we are really proud of him for wanting to be in band!
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.
