Hog Fever and Swine Flu, Day 1

This weekend featured another road trip with the besties, Kirk and
Amber.

Unfortunately, it started out with my elder child coming down with the swine flu.

Fortunately, there's this stuff called Tamiflu which is a lifesaver!

Doubly fortunately, there's these people called Grandparents who were willing to keep said flu-infested elder child. God bless grandparents, Amen!

We hit the road for Oxford on Friday morning, a little guilt-ridden but still giddy with Hog Fever. Woo Pig Sooie!

Our first stop was for some necessary accessories:





We arrived a few hours later in Mississippi still giddy but slightly less guilt-ridden and we spied this:



And we said, Why yes, Paula. Yes, we are!



And then we stuffed ourselves with hoecakes and cheese biscuits and such and waddled back to the hotel to rest up for the big adventure while visions of the sugar plum fairy danced in our heads.



And thus ended the first day of Hog Fever and Swine Flu.

Sugar Plum Fairy!!!

Of course.

And dance she did. In their minds, of course.

Would the fairy be a cutout? Or a real live "Go ahead boys, get your picture made and show all your friends" type?
