Fun with Grandma and Gramps

The boys and I made the very long drive to the Ozarks last week. Thank goodness Grandma Jude came into Chicago to ride with us. The eight and a half hour trip took us eleven hours! We made a FEW stops along the way to make it less painful for the boys. The way home went much more quickly- nine hours. The drive was worth it! We had a fabulous time being spoiled by Grandma Jude and Grandpa Scott. Zack was in pure heaven. He now LOVES to fish. He went through 5 dozen worms very quickly and caught 23 Bluegill fish! He managed this all with a Toy Story fishing pole. Zack also enjoys noodling. Noodling is a Huebsch Family past time. Everyone grabs a noodle and bobs up and down in the lake until you look like a prune. Zack caught on right away and seems to understand just how important it is to spend a good part of the day just noodling around.
Alex also had a wonderful time. He got to play in the baby pool and take his first boat ride. Alex is now 11 months old. He is a garbage disposal. He will eat almost anything I put in front of him with the exception of eggs. He still has a strong distaste for scrambled eggs. He babbles like crazy (mama, dada, zeee, bimbop to name a few). He has mastered going up stairs and is SLOWLY learning how to go backwards down them. He has two new teeth finally! He is a complete love and we are so lucky to have such wonderful boys!
