Fun Day in Buena Park

We celebrated Father's Day a few days early since the boys were leaving on Sunday morning to go camping with Grandma and Grandpa for the week. It was our first trip to Knott's Soak City and we had a great time. Weather was perfect and reaffirmed the decision to get annual passes for Christmas. Hopefully we will be able to fit in plenty more visits before they close in a few months.




After we cleaned up and changed clothes, we left the park and went to McDonald's for a light late lunch. Then the boys told daddy the wonderful news....they were taking him to Medieval Times for a dinner show! 
Luke always talks about it when we drive by it and I think it's been about 20 years since he went to a show. The boys were very excited to tell them and just couldn't keep it inside most of the day.


 Wiggy wasn't a big fan of the food and didn't eat much....so thank goodness two of the kids were "free." They served roasted chicken and ribs, garlic bread, and a twice baked potato. For dessert it was a simple apple turnover. It wasn't the greatest, but the show was lots of fun! Our knight even won the whole thing and tossed Miss Wiggy a flower.








On the drive home we stopped at Diddy Riese, which is right next to UCLA off the 405. They make fresh cookies and serve ice cream cookie sandwiches! It was a first for us and they're so cheap I think it's really worth it!

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.
