Now that Bubba is 12 he can do baptisms in the temple with the youth. Our ward usually has 3-4 of these scheduled a year.
I drove down and ended up with a carload full of Deacons. It was quiet at first, with a few snoozing during the drive to LA. We stopped in Gorman for sodas and fries, turned on some Brian Regan and they were laughing the rest of the drive.
After I dropped off the boys and we were driving home that evening I asked Bubba what he thought and what was his favorite part. Bubba said, "When I walked into the temple my legs felt tingly. It was really cool. I loved it and can't wait to go back."
It was Davin and Bubba's first temple trip. :)
After we left the temple I took the boys down the street to Sprinkles Cupcakes. Bubba and Davin picked out ice cream and Seth and Zander chose a cupcake. Great way to end a special day!
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.
