Saturday Fun

Our church had a 10K on Saturday and our Sunday School class had a water station. Joel and I volunteered to help pass out water...hey, we were going to be up anyway, so why not help?!?! It was such a nice morning and our water station couldn't have been at a better spot! We were right at Vestavia Baptist overlooking the city!

Here is a group shot of the volunteers from our class, minus Joel who is taking the picture, and all of our "little" helpers!

Hudson is in his bathing suit ready for Waterbabies. We had to duck out a little early to go to that. Hudson actually did not cry this time! We are definitely making progress! I went by myself so Joel could finish up with the 10K, but he ended up coming at the end. Bad mistake. Once Hudson saw Joel, he wanted nothing more to do with the pool! Oh well, it was more enjoyable this week!

We were supposed to go to a birthday party at the Oak Mountain petting zoo at 11 am Saturday morning, but getting up before 6 am and doing all that we did before 9 am wore the poor boy out. He took a really long nap when we got back home (actually, he didn't even make it all the way home before he zonked out!) and I just couldn't wake him up to go to the party. He had been such a trooper all morning and I knew he needed his sleep.

Once Hudson woke up, we ate lunch and then headed to Overton Park for a little while. Man, it was hot! Hudson loved the see-saw and cried when we took him off it. Of course, he loved the swing too, but this was his first taste of a see-saw and it was so fun! I didn't have my camera--well, I did, but we had the dogs with us and two dogs, and a baby in 90 degree temps were about all we could handle! Hudson also loved walking Chloe around the park. He was so good at holding onto her leash! It was cute.

Saturday night we went and ate dinner with Joel's youngest brother before he headed back to Auburn for summer school. Towards the end of dinner, Hudson had had enough of the high chair and so I put him in the booth with me. He somehow got his hands on the water glass and the straw and he went to town with it! He was cracking up every time he flicked the water out of the glass with the straw. He got us all wet, but we didn't care. Let's just say we were cherishing these happy moments at a dinner out! Even the people sitting near us and the waiters thought he was so funny. These pictures were taken with my phone so the quality is not great, but you can see how much fun he was having! Just picture some major belly laughing!

If these pictures don't make you smile, I don't know what will!

It was such a great Saturday!
