I mentioned I was behind in blogging right?
For the 4th of July my mom surprised us and flew us up to Seattle for the long weekend. We were able to do quite a few things with friends, and one of them was going to Seattle to hang out with my friend Stephanie from high school who I have not seen in YEARS! She and her boyfriend live right by Alki Beach, so we went down there to have lunch and walk around. I have no idea why I did not take pictures of all of us together, but here are a few of Hudson walking on the beach which he absolutely loved. He was a little weirded out by the sand at first, but then loved running around in it, and playing in the water (Once he realized the water was FREEZING he didn't love it as much!). He was a total disaster when we got him back in the car and had to strip him down to his diaper because of all the sand, and we were washing sand out of his hair for days! It was such a beautiful day, and I forget how nice it is to be so close to the Puget Sound. It was such a fun day, and I especially enjoyed catching up with a good friend.
Part of the beach aftermath (He looks happy though!)
Of course he had to try and eat the sand!
He loved the waves splashing on him at first, then he felt how cold it was and started to cry! Cute little piggy toes!
