Saturday Morning with the Boys - Rob

Today is Saturday. We had nothing much on the schedule today, so the ladies like to stay in bed a little longer, but for Hudson and I (really more Hudson than me) anything after 7:30 is just a waste of prime play time. So today we left the ladies in bed an headed out before 8:00 for breakfast and a bike ride. I thought we'd share a few pictures from our morning out.


This is the street in front of our apartment complex. Right now the city is covered in flowers, There is a big international trade exposition in town and they have made the whole city beautiful.
Hudson on the back of the bike ready for a morning ride.


First we stopped at Mickey D's for some breakfast. Hudson loves the sausage and eggs. Hudson never misses the chance to climb a good tree.

After breakfast we rode out to the river near our house. We have been watching the construction of a new bridge across the river. Looks like they are almost done with the supports.


After checking out the bridge we headed down to the river. This is a spot where a ferry, looking much less than seaworthy, picks people up to take them across to the other side.


Of course our time down by the river quickly turned to throwwing rocks in the river trying to make the biggest splash. What is it about boys and throwing rocks into water? We could have done this all day.

After a long ride down and around the river we headed to the park to get a drink and throw the football.


Hudson found this little boy who enjoyed playing with this strange looking ball.


Hudson finds friends no matter where he is.

We did a little punting....


and a little throwing...

and of course a little jumping over make believe defenders.

Hudson even let me try to get a good picture of him for his mom.


We stayed out until lunch time and had a great morning. I can't believe the ladies missed out on all this fun!

Thanks for sharing your day with us. I was particularly missing you guys this morning and low and behold a post and pictures. Father knows what we need. Would have been nice to have pictures of the girls too, even sleeping---but another day.

I love that Hudson makes friends wherever he goes. I believe great things are going to come from that gift.

I remember when Hudson was the little kid chasing after the big kids - he's grown up so much.

What a cutie!
