Shawshank Redemtion, Part Deux

Hudson fell asleep watching cartoons (this is a first!). However, I think he's tired because he had a sleepless night trying to figure out how to break out of his tent. 

To which he successful mastered this morning. 

We've had it one day. 

Hudson - 1

Tent - 0

Thanks, but no thanks

Yaya purchased a new "tent" (she tracked one down in Australia) that was meant to keep Hudson from climbing out of his crib in the middle of the night. 

He was not a fan. 

He immediately started crying and screaming "no" when I showed it to him.  

Ryker on the other hand thought it was awesome and offered to switch beds with him. 

Sweet dreams

I love watching these sweet boys sleep. I wonder what they are dreaming about as thier naps often follow a full day of prentending to be a superhero!

Catch me if you can

While enjoying a relaxing vacation in Cabo, Mamma entertained the boys at a local park one afternoon. 

After 45 minutes of non-stop playing, she told them it was time to leave, to which Hudson shakes his head and firmly responds "no".  He then proceeds to climb to the top of the slide where Mamma can't reach him.  When she goes left he goes right, when she goes right he goes left.  It was almost impossible for her to catch him. 

After a long 15 min or so playing Hudson's game of chase with his great grandmother a mere 70 years his elder - a nice man offered to help get him down. An offer she gratefully accepted.  We laughed together as she told me the story - what would she have done had the man not intervened?! 

In a later conversation between Ryker and Mamma, Ryker says "I was good huh Mamma".  

Courtni (our *sniff* ex-sitter) had treated the boys to an afternoon picnic at that same park just a few weeks before and had shared with me some pics...priceless.  Especially as I imagine my young grandmother chasing after these two active boys alone on a hot afternoon. 

Lucky boys these are to have such a fun grandma!

Voice of the Wetlands

One of our favorite local festivals to attend as a family.  This year it was HOT so we kept our attendance brief but the kids had a blast!
