We forgot how much it takes to pack for a baby. We definitely need a bigger car to handle two munchkins, but after an hour of packing, we finally got on the road. We got there around 6 Friday night and then headed to an outdoor concert for a little while. I carried Harrison in the Bjorn (which was fabulous by the way!). It was chilly though, so we didn't stay very long. We had Harrison so bundled up that I think he was sweating! He was very happy though, so that was good!
We did have a rough Friday night, but it wasn't due to the baby. He was only up once! It was Hudson! Hudson slept in the room with Morgan (my 8 year old niece) and he would not be quiet. He just kept talking and talking, which was really funny for a while, but when it got to be 11 pm and he STILL was not asleep, we knew we were probably in for a long night! Morgan was such a trooper with it all though! I finally went in there and layed with them until he fell asleep, but then we heard him walking around the house at 5 the next morning. We tried to get him to go to sleep in our bed, but he was ready to go for the day! So, a whopping 6 hours of sleep (maybe) for our two year old (and less than that for us!). Yikes! I think Joel almost made us pack up and go home! Luckily, the lack of sleep had no affect on Hudson. I was expecting fits all day, but he was great! And, we all got a big nap Saturday afternoon, so it was ok.
We had fun riding on the gator! (Multitasking at its finest--who says you can't drive while holding a newborn!)
There was a huge art show in Mentone so we headed down there for a bit Saturday morning. Joel and I are not really into the art thing, but they had a kids area with lots for Hudson to do and it was so much fun. Despite the look on his face in the pictures below, he claims that the pony ride on Pee Wee was his favorite part!
He was very serious about it all (I think maybe due to the lack of sleep!).
We had Morgan with us too and she had a blast!
Then there was the hamster ball. Morgan had done this before so she couldn't wait to do it again. We didn't think Hudson would be interested in getting in the ball, but boy, were we wrong!
This was the point that I thought Hudson would freak--them blowing up the ball. They used a loud blower to do it and he was supposed to be covering his ears, but of course, he didn't follow directions. Surprise, surprise! 
And he's in! You are supposed to act like a hamster and roll all over the water, but Hudson was content just sitting there.
Joel tried to roll the ball a bit to get him going, but he still just sat there! I was just impressed that he got in there!
There were bouncy houses and a huge slide for them to do as well. 
And trout fishing! Morgan caught one!
Since Morgan was doing it, Hudson had to give it a try too. He did not want Joel to help him, but he was too little to do it without him!
Hudson caught one too! (Well, the man in charge already had one hooked and slipped it over to Joel while Hudson wasn't looking...Hudson was so excited that he had caught one!)
Harrison napped in the stroller the whole time and was a perfect angel. Seriously, he's SO easy! I hope he stays that way!
I might have done the big slide once or twice! :)
After the art show, we headed back to the cabin and ate chili and took long naps, went to the park, watched Auburn whip Florida (I say "whip" very loosely!), and ate a big steak. It doesn't get better than that!
It was nice to have some help with Hudson and Harrison and the weather was just SO nice this weekend. I already want to go back!!!
