Easter break kicked off with a visit from the Baer's and we were one kid short the first half of the week. I had to work, so we had no special plans for the week.
First item for the week...cutting this girl's hair. It's the same ol' story. Girl doesn't want thick, curly hair combed when she gets out of the shower every morning/night. She doesn't want to wash or take care of thick, curly hair.
Soooooo....mom suggests she cuts it off.
She was a little hesitant at first, but we searched Pinterest for some cute styles....and she agreed. We ended up going to Great Clips since it was a spur of the moment decision. The girl who normally cuts the boys' hair is pretty experienced and did a great job.
With Bubba gone, Tubbs wanted to hang out with his best buddy Tanner. Monday night he stayed over at our house and the next night, Tubbs was over there.
Wednesday was Wiggy day with daddy since mom was at work and brothers were gone! They played tennis, had a picnic at the park, fed the ducks and went to Yogurtland.
Later that afternoon daddy set up the tent in the backyard for Wiggy to play in.
Thursday I got home from work to find everyone loaded up in the car, in the driveway. Luke told me to pack a bag and that we were going somewhere overnight.
In the car he said we were headed to Las Vegas for the night. Wow...what a surprise. I am always up for a roadtrip...so I was excited.
We stayed at the Palazzo, which is there Luke and I stayed last July. We checked into the hotel around 10pm. We unloaded the bags and then walked down to Cheesecake Factory at Caesar's Palace.
This was the kid's first trip to Las Vegas!
Friday morning we checked out of the hotel and grabbed some drive-thru breakfast. We drove over the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop that the guys watch on TV..."Pawn Stars." That was kind of neat. Then we drove to Boulder City to see Hoover Dam.
We left there around pm and made the drive back to Las Vegas to do some shopping. We ate dinner at Hash House inside the Linq Casino, then we headed home! What a quick trip, but so much fun. We were back in Bakersfield by 10:30 on Friday night.
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.
