The month of June proved to be lots of fun around the Hudson household. My youngest brother, Kylen, came to spend a week with us and Kaelyn loved every minute of it. Back when Keeton and Kylen were younger (during the first years of our marriage and both boys were not able to drive yet), Robbie and I had them come spend a week with us and called it "Camp Little Elm." Since Kylen is spending the summer after his freshmen year at Texas A&M living back home, he decided he wanted to have another "Camp Little Elm." One of our camp activities was the pull out the good ole' slip 'n' slide. Kaelyn loves the water and loved the slip 'n' slide.
"On your mark, get set, GO!"

Sheer delight on that sweet face.
Loving this activity.
Bama even got some love from Kaelyn.
We also wrapped up our swimming lessons in June. Our last swim lesson was great! The class usually has 6 adults and 6 kids in the water since it's a Parent/Me class, but there were only 2 of us there, so Kaelyn basically got a private lesson with her swim coach. She has come so far since the beginning of June. She is very independent (a little too independent and scary for mommy) in the water. During bathtime, she is swimming on her stomach and blowing bubbles and then turns over and lies on her back without complaining about her ears being in the water. She loves to jump to us in the pool and enjoys her daddy throwing her up in the air after going underwater. She has become our little fish!

During the last week of June, our church held their annual Vacation Bible School. Since I volunteered, Kaelyn was able to attend each morning and go to the 2 year old class. She did so well in class each day and loved the worship time at the closing of each day. Here's a video of her praising the Lord and dancing!
On Friday, July 1st, we left to spend the weekend at Lake Limestone with my family! It wouldn't be July 4th weekend without a lot of skiing, swimming and pyramid building. This year we decided to build a 7-man pyramid. We were successful even though the picture doesn't show us all the way on top. After the 7-man was complete, we built a 5-man to wrap up the day. On Monday, July 4th, Kaelyn practiced her skiing in the lawn. Pop pulled her around on her skis to get a feel for what it would be like in the water. Then we put her on the side of the boat and let her ski! She loved it and Pop only had to hold her to help her keep her balance. Hopefully by the end of summer, she will ski behind the boat with little help. We are so proud of Kaelyn!
