This year is Bubba's second year of Scout camp, up at Lake Huntington, and Tubbs' first year. It's a four hour drive to camp, so they leave at 4am on Monday morning, so this year they elected to stay Sunday night with their buddies, at the Den Leader's house. I snapped one last photo of them, all nice and clean, before we dropped them off at 9pm. All other photos below I received from FB posts. Thank goodness for FB! :)
We picked up the boys on Saturday afternoon. My oldest child didn't shower at all while they were gone. He smelled really nice! Luke told them to go directly to the backyard and jump into the pool before coming into the house.
Bubba used Luke's hiking boots and they fell apart this week. He used duct tape to keep the soles on. Haha.
I missed the boys very much and couldn't wait to pick them up. I was beside myself! When Bubba gave me a hug he started to cry. His face was so dirty, the tears left mud on his face. Oh Bubba....
The boys had a great time at camp. Bubba got a little homesick mid-week, but apparently Tubbs was great. He didn't miss home at all! Shocking. :)
At camp the boys worked on a variety of Metrit Badges: shotguns, sailing, orienteering, environmental science, pioneering and canoeing.
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.
