My Grandma Baer turned 90 the first part of March. She lives in Idaho and since the majority of our extended family were not able to celebrate with her, my dad and siblings planned a party for her. She flew down to Roseville so she could attend a few grandkids, so it was good timing.
I drove up with the kids on Thursday afternoon after I got off work. It was the last day of school so we were ready for some fun. Luke stayed behind because he had to work Friday and take care of some home projects over the weekend.
Friday afternoon we were able to see Natty perform in a class play. Very fun.
Friday night is breakfast dinner night at my parents' house....and my parents own the largest waffle maker I've ever seen. :)
Saturday morning it was my task to pick up Grandma for a manicure and pedicure. Saturday afternoon was the big party. Everyone had a great time visiting with each other. Almost all of grandma's grandkids were there and four out of five of her children. Happy birthday Grandma! XOXO
Sunday morning we headed home. We stopped by the outlets for a quick snack at Auntie Anne Pretzels and we were back on the road!
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.
