My parent and Luke's parents each come for one week in August, when Luke heads back to work. We are always absolutely so thankful for this. Luke goes back to work three weeks before the kids start school, so this year I took the first week and headed to Idaho. The following week my parents came with my niece Natalie and nephew Holden.
Grandpa sent me pictures every morning of everyone's activities. Daily trips to the park and swimming were the usual.
Pizza night at Tony's
Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to see the new Disney movie, Planes 2 on morning. The girls are all cleaned up and ready to go!
Grandpa made chocolate chip cookies for us....twice. We like when Grandpa comes down! :) I promised Grandma I wouldn't share the picture I took of her enjoying the cookie dough. Hahahahaha.
The morning they had to leave we made their favorite sweet breakfast treats...cinnamon rolls. Mmmmmmm.
Grandma and Grandpa Hogue came down Monday the following week and stayed with us through Thursday. They did a little pre-birthday shopping with Wiggy and Bubba picked out some Legos with some money he had saved. Grandma and Grandpa also bought Bubba a Lego set and Tubbs a pack of gems for "Clash of Clans." Grandpa also took Wiggy (and sometimes the boys) down to the park in the mornings before it got hot.
The kids really love spending time with their grandparents and we love when they come to visit.
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.
