This year Luke and the kids had the entire week of Thanksgiving off from school.
Lucky ducks!
I worked Monday and Tuesday, so we blasted off to Northern California on Wednesday morning.
A photo for the road. Ready, set, go!
Stopping at Bravo Farms for nuts for Grandma Baer
A few of the grandkids hanging out, watching a movie before dinner on Wednesday evening.
Thursday morning I was up early making turkey sausage bread and cinnamon rolls.
Mmmmmmmmm.
A little Thanksgiving nap while Luke watches some football.
The boys stayed the night at Uncle Bob's and Aunt Lindsay's on Thursday night.
On Friday morning grandma and I were up early and headed to the Galleria mall. We shopped for two hours and then headed home for breakfast with everyone. After lunch we headed up to Apple Hill, in Placeville. We spent the afternoon up there and loved it. Wish we lived closer so we could visit more often when we come up to see grandma and grandpa.
Matching beanies with Nattie Baer!
Saturday morning we had a late breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls and eggs. After lunch we headed to the movies with grandma and grandpa to see "The Good Dinosaur." After getting home we loaded up and blasted off for home. We arrived around 10pm and the house was still in tact. Hallelujah!
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.
