Hanging around La Jolla with the fam

 We were staying real close to the cove where the seals come to hang out, so we went over a few times to check it out! 

 It's been five months since Hudson had seen uncle Jonathan, so we had to take some new pictures! I LOVE both of these shots!

Uncle, Auntie, we had a GREAT time seeing you both!! (and Theo too!) 

 One day we went down to PB and rented some beach cruisers to ride along the boardwalk. We stopped to eat lunch on the beach, and of course play in the sand and water! The wind was cooler that day, but Hudson was still anxious to get his toes wet. Seriously, it was so adorable to watch (and listen) to him get excited when he saw the water!

 Touch the sand...

 look at it...

 taste it...

 YUM!

Then he applauded himself. Good job Hudson, way to eat sand. 

Time with Auntie Abbie

 We had so much fun visiting with Auntie Abbie and Uncle Jonathan (and Theo!). One afternoon Abbie came over and we went down to the beach to play - so she got to experience first hand how much this kid loves the water. His bouncing is evident in the picture - though he's always jumping!

Hudson enjoyed chewing on my sunglasses...and he looks pretty good in them too!

Sea World

We went to Sea World one day with Abbie, Jonathan and Theo - it was lots of fun! Hudson made it through the dolphin show, but wasn't quite able to last until the shamoo show...:( but we have our year pass, so we'll be back!

Vacay continued: on to San Diego!

 We rented a place in La Jolla for the week, about a block from the Wind and Sea beach - so our first day we walked down to let Hudson experience the ocean and sand - and he was instantly in LOVE. Every time we saw the ocean after that, he would start chattering and get all excited. It was the coolest thing for me...cause i feel the same way when I see the ocean. :)

 Hudson quickly checked out the place and hit his head on every place he could. Childproofing couldn't happen quick enough. 

 WE had our own private patio, which was used for breakfast, snack, and just lounging while Hudson took his naps!

 Mommy and son enjoying a slice of heaven - looks like Hudson needs sunglasses though!

 First experience sitting on the sand...he didn't know what to think at first, but quickly realized he should try tasting it to see if that helped. 

 Once he got his hands/feet in the water, he was all about it!

 This is where Hudson ate his meals - we borrowed a high chair from Abbie's friend, which was awesome! It was small place, not the best shape, but it was so great to be there and be able to get around so easily! 

 Happy boy - we went for walks every day, and man, the people in La Jolla have beautiful yards!!
