Every summer the boys go camping with Luke's parents, outside Bishop/Mammoth. This year little Miss Wiggy was able to go along. It was very weird having all the kids leave us and not being able to talk to them whenever we wanted. Thankfully I had a distraction....Las Vegas. Luke had a conference for work the same time the kids were gone, so we dropped them off in Tehachapi at 7am on our way. We didn't have to be in Vegas until later in the afternoon, but Luke's parents needed to get on the road to get a camping spot.
Wiggy fell asleep on the way up the hill. It's sweet to see her give her brother some love.
After we get on the road, Grandma sends me pictures of the tortured children. It's a ritual. Haha.
So then we take a selfie and send it back. It's nice that the boys have a phone so we can send photos and messages.
It rained a lot where they were camping and on the last day, it snowed. That's pretty exciting for July!
Eating sweets at "Pie in the Sky." Mmmmm.
They got home on Saturday afternoon, so we made the drive to Tehachapi to pick them. We wee very excited to see them. Being apart 7 days was a LONG time.
I think it's safe to say they missed their daddy more than mom. :)
Thank you grandma and grandpa for taking such good care of the kids and showing them the outdoors for a week.
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.
