A day in the snow

Abe's parents took us with them to Pinetop for a couple of days. We really only got to play one day, the other two were basically spent driving, but we had a great time and Hudson enjoyed playing in the snow (which was a good change from last year).


From our window we could see squirrels running up and down the trees. Hudson was really close to the window and Abe told him to 'look at it!' So what did he do? He licked the window :) I guess look and lick sound a lot alike!


Down by the office they had a couple of squirrel feeders. Hudson loved watching the squirrels run up and down and all over. They actually let us get pretty close to them.



This picture cracks me up because Hudson's eyes are totally closed! I'm not quite sure how he expected to catch the snowball with his eyes closed.


Then I realized his eyes are closed in every picture that he was trying to catch a snowball!


Hudson did decide to retaliate, and got some good throws in himself.


Then we got all bundled up to actually play in the snow. We tried to have Hudson make a snow angel, but he wasn't so sure about it. I showed him how to eat the snow- he really liked it. Then Grandpa and Abe built a little snowman which Hudson then kicked over (his daddy taught him how to kick the snow).


We had a great time playing in the snow, thank you Papa Benny and Grandma Karen for the fun!

That is very obedient to lick the window because that is what he thought his dad said. Very funny and cute!

Hey, I have been to that place! It is really nice, huh? Too bad you weren't there at a time when you could enjoy the pool. Did you play any arcade games or anything? It looks like a lot of fun. We got Jake some snow pants (3$ at Gap), it looks like we are going to have to make our own trip up north here soon!

How fun! Hudson is a funny little guy :) Your stories about him always crack me up. And I love his snow hat. What a cutie!

Hello? Come visit me and you can have several inches of snow all winter long. I am sure Hudson had a ball.

So fun! It looks like Hudson had a ball! We need to get together sometime, Britton keeps talking about how he misses his friends :(
