family vacation

Hello all! I just had to post this picture of Hudson. He is teething and as a result when he eats he bites on his spoon and sometimes refuses to let go. He gives us a little glare when we try and remove the spoon and I just had to capture that look for all to see. He is our little dude with attitude!

On a separate note, this past Memorial Day weekend Jim, Haleigh, Hudson and I went on a little family vacation to San Antonio.
We set out from our house in Pearland and made a pit stop in League City where we got to see Haleigh earn her green belt in Tae Kwon Do. I wish you could have seen her. She took down a classmate (pretending) to choke her and she broke a board with her foot! It was so cool to watch. She's very talented.

After Haleigh got her green belt we hopped in the car for the drive to San Antonio. Along the way Haleigh taught Hudson how to hold his own bottle. I think he likes trying to impress his big sister.

When we arrived in San Antonio we met up with our friends Amanda and Andy and hit the riverwalk, which I quickly learned is not very stroller friendly. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant for dinner and then headed to the riverboats for a night time boat ride. Here is a picture of Hudson on his first boat ride. He was a little tired by the end of boat ride and ended up falling asleep on Jim's shoulder.

The next morning Hudson and Haleigh had some brother sister time before we headed to the Alamo.



The Alamo was nice but very hot! As you'll notice in all of the pictures Hudson is not wearing his helmet. It was just too hot for him to wear it during the day so we made the executive decision to just have him wear it at night, in the cool hotel room.












After the Alamo we all went back to the hotel room and took a nap. After we were all well rested we took the bus down to the Market and spent the rest of the evening down there at a really nice Mexican food restaurant.

We took it easy on Monday and did a little shopping, then we grabbed a bite to eat and hit the road for the very tedious drive back to Houston.
