Hudson Quote

I don't want to forget this cute hilarious conversation between Hudson and the doctor this morning.

Nurse: Name and birthday?
Hudson: Hudson, December 2nd
Nurse: Year?
Hudson: (with the most confused look at her) every year.

The nurse and I both laughed. I love this funny kid.

Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Since Dave and Donna are here we decided to take them on the Glass Bottom Boat Tours near Danny's work. What we didn't have planned was to have Hudson tag along. He was supposed to be at school but woke up complaining of a sore throat. I took him to the doctor's office first thing in the morning to find out he was just fine. We just wanted to rule out strep throat because we might be leaving town tomorrow (not sure yet) and we wanted to be prepared in case he needed to be on antibiotics. Of course by the time we were done with the doctor's visit he didn't want to go back to school so we had him tag along. Maybe not the best parent choice but I guess everyone deserves a mental break day every now and then.

I'll always be in awe at the color of this water.

This might have been the cutest moment ever. These girls walked the rest of the trail arm in arm and did that all on their own. Donna and I were behind them and couldn't stop smiling that we caught this moment. We definitely both took pictures without letting them know in case they stopped from us watching. 

Total Eclipse

Donna and Dave had been planning for over a year now to watch the total eclipse here in Texas and we're so grateful they did because we had the best experience with them. They booked an airbnb in Canyon Lake for a couple days and told us that we could go up early on Sunday so that we wouldn't need to worry about any traveling on Monday which was the day of the total eclipse. All the schools in this part of Texas at least cancelled school for the day in anticipation of the eclipse. It was said that we'd have a million people traveling here for the event. What people couldn't plan for though was the weather not cooperating. It was super cloudy. So even though we were in the path of totality we didn't actually get to see it. There were moments where the clouds would break free for a second and we could catch glimpses of the sun but during the three minutes or so of complete totality the clouds were just dancing in the way. That's okay but because we still got to experience total darkness which was awesome. Truly it was so cool. Grant got a little scared during that part but the rest of us were in awe at how dark it got. That was our favorite part. Also being by the lake was so cool. We've been meaning to go out and explore Canyon Lake for awhile now and it was nice to finally do it. I've never seen so many shells in one place before. Ever. That was also really cool. We just might have to come back to this area. Thank you Dave and Donna. Sorry about the clouds but the memories were still awesome. Also thank you for letting our good friend Tiffany join us with her kids. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday April 7th:

This sunset was absolutely beautiful.

Monday April 8th:

Total darkness.

Lighting back up.

The fact that it looked like complete nighttime just moments before this picture was taken is so cool.

The kids loved exploring our surroundings.
