next stop: florida

took a trip to fort myers beach, FL to meet up with nanna, granddad, uncle ross and aunt jill. was really nice to see the sun and have temp above 50 degrees. it's been a long winter....


hudson jumped right into the sand digging. took a little longer to be brave enough to walk into the ocean. first day barely got feet wet, by the end of the trip he was running in.

video of running into the water on first day:


playing catch in the water, finally started learning to catch the ball by end of the trip. still some work to do on throwing.





mommy is always watching...

water wasn't quite warm enough to jump in early in the week. by end of the week it started warming up, but no one took the full plunge.

heated swimming pool worked though for getting into the water all the way.


showing nanna how to howl at the moon

last day we stopped by uncle mark and aunt paula's house (nanna's brother and sister in law). hudson enjoyed the big fish tank.
most of all he enjoyed playing chase with their dog Teddy



jumping around in time, we had an early birthday for hudson complete with messy cupcakes. a lot less messy than his first birthday.

teaching hudson about sticks. next up: throwing little rocks at bigger rocks.

OK, we got our days a little mixed up-- day 1 in sunny Florida one of us did take the BIG plunge into the Gulf just not intentionally-- it was in that long sleeved shirt on Daddy's watch !!! Day two rebegan more cautiously.. So son, that's what you get for remebering my phot advice -- my memory and it was funny.
