Family Time

It felt like we hadn't been home in forever, so it was exciting to get home and spend some time with our family at the end of June. Hudson is growing like a weed, so I'm sure he seems bigger every time we make the trip!

Hanging out with Aunt Jackie, Avery, and Callie!

Papa Frank took Hudson for a ride on the ranger. And oooooh man, Hudson fell in love immediately. His expressions were hilarious. We stopped at the bridge once to get off and ride the beaver by the bridge. He wasn't too sure about that beaver… He just wanted back on the ranger! Grandpa and I were each holding onto Hudson's legs. He thought he was big stuff and kept pushing our hands off of him. :) And when we hopped off at the end of the ranger ride, Hudson just laughed as he watched Grandpa speed away!

"Mom, what is this thing??"

I think he would have fallen asleep soon!

When we were at Grandma Shelly and Grandpa Mark's house, Aunt Trista thought it was hilarious to dress Hudson up in a hat, bracelet, and sunglasses! Honestly though, Hudson thought it was fun too!!

Hudson also got to swim for the first time! He wasn't too impressed until we got him out of the floaty thing and swung him around in the water. I had him on the ladder at one point to let him sit on it and play in the water. Once he saw someone climb out of the pool using the ladder, he was ready to get out! He had found the escape route. :)

At Grandpa Bill's, Hudson got to play with a really fun car! Once he figures out how to pedal, I don't think he'll be allowed to use the car in the house!

The ball pit was a hit too, as usual. He gets so excited when he sees someone bringing the ball pit out!
