4th of July Celebrations!

For the fourth, we headed to the lake!  Hudson loves the lake and gets very excited to "throw balls of sand" into the water and rocks.  He literally could sit on the beach all day and play in the sand, not the water:).  I don't have a water baby here friends but he does love the lake.  

On the fourth we went for a boat ride.  Hudson loves Papa's boat because he has the covered bow to hang out in.  After a ride to see the "airplanes" Hudson eventually came out...

We headed back to play a fun game of ladder golf with our neighbors.  Hudson is quite the master of this game, or so he thinks.  We let him throw the rubber balls and everyone humors his attempts:).

Yes he throws and then runs with his action packed run!  

He also likes to organize the balls...

That night it was time for a campfire and some smores.  I believe this is Hudson's first smore and boy was it messy!  He liked it though:).  We watched some fireworks and put the kiddo down around 10.  

The next day daddy went to work and Gigi & Gpa came up for the day.  Hudson loves to sit with the boys.

And show Gigi his autograph book from Disneyland with all the characters.  Big highlight!

Here is his "guitar" shirt as he calls it:).  He's off to find the neighbors!  He loves "lake Kiely."

Now showing Kiely his autograph book.  Are you seeing a pattern?

Then Nana pulled out the butterfly net!  We were trying to catch them because they were all over the beach.  Alas, mamma failed:(.  Papa caught one but they fly away very quickly!

Then Pops turned the net into a fishing net and went water skipper fishing:).  We caught some and put them in his bug collector.  He loved using the magnifying glass to analyze his "findings."  

Thanks for a fun, relaxing week at the lake Nana & Pops!
