Hudson asked if he could go bowling with some of his friends. He gets his birthday off in Italy since it's a holiday here. Works out pretty good! Turns out that none of his friends can bowl. After two frames and ALL gutter balls, we asked them to put up the bumpers. It made for a much more fun time.

We also celebrated with a cake at home that night. We love you so much, Hudson! It's hard to believe that you are already 14!!
