VA Vacation

Hudson and I went up for a week to Northern Virginia to be with family. Logan was able to join us for the next week, so Hudson and I were there for almost two whole weeks. It was super fun and we did a lot while we were there including getting to spend time with both sets of Hudson's grandparents and aunts/uncles. He is such a spoiled kid when we go visit, making it hard to leave sometimes.


Highlights from the trip include (get ready for picture/video overload):


My cousin Marisa's high school graduation....

Celebrating my mom's 50th birthday...

Air & Space Museum with my cousin Dallin (who came to visit from AZ)...

Memorial Weekend

For Memorial weekend, Logan was able to get Saturday off and we went on a camping trip to Pilot Mountain (about two hours from us). It was so fun and the weather was perfect.

What made it an exceptionally good trip was having so much extended family join us. It was a little Korth (Logan's mom side) reunion, but on the east coast. There were six couples there, and nine kids running around between 4 campsites. We just played games, ate tons of food, did some hiking, and the men played frisbee golf.

I think we will have to make it a yearly thing because it was so fun! Hudson loved being outside playing with his second cousins, collecting rocks and sticks, and plus he slept amazing at night.

Sadly, I only got two pictures from the entire camping trip (phone died).

definitely a trait he inherited from his dad, not mom

they are SO cute - love them!

We got home late Sunday evening. Logan decided to work on Monday (his day off) for the over-time plus a nice little bonus for working on the holiday - score! We were able to attend a small BBQ with a few friends later that evening which was really nice and yummy.
