Road trips and ice buckets

We had a such a fun little weekend! 
My in-laws came for a visit so my husband and I took that opportunity to let them enjoy some one-on-one Hudson time while we made the drive out to see our good friends, Ali and John, who just had a baby girl last month! She totally gave me baby fever and was such a good girl the whole time we were there.
We got stuck in major traffic on the way home and no amount of ice cream and Beatles sing alongs could make it better. Put a fork in us, we were done!
The rest of the weekend was spent eating pancakes for breakfast and then doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! I lost my grandpa in 2001 and my co-worker in 2012 to ALS so I was very proud to participate….and of course after Hudson saw me dump water on myself he had to do it too…..about 20 times. He thought it was the most fun thing ever.
We wrapped up our night with some ice cream and watching Hudson’s ice bucket video over and over. And yes, Hudson has his first black eye! It actually looks way worse in real life but doesn’t seem to slow him down one bit.
I hope you had a great weekend!

    I saw Hudson's video on IG and it was just the cutest thing! He looked SO happy! I bet Mason would love doing it too… he's all about pouring water on his head when we're in the bath!

    I love that he had to just keep doing the ice bucket challenge! So cute! So is the photo of him loving that chocolate ice cream – smart little man! Traffic on a fun road trip is the worst – like way worse that daily commuter traffic!
