Bill asked Andy to bring his big stunt kite. No problem. But as they were headed out the door on Saturday to fly it in 18mph wind, in the snow, they found a wake board in the garage...problem?
They proceeded to venture out back of Ballinger's house...
...and ride the wake board across the open field, pulled along behind Andy's kite!!!!! Needless to say, they had a blast. Amber soon joined them, and I opted to take pictures since being drug on my belly across the ground probably wouldn't have been quite as much fun for the baby.
Andy flies across the field.
Bill and Amber.
Amber fights the wind.
Bill's turn for a ride.
And check out my way-cool hubby in this video!
Poor Christopher was slightly distressed that he wasn't allowed out to have fun flying the kite too. He tried so hard to open the door and even brought me his tennis shoes to trade for the house-shoes he had on.
He finally decided being inside was fun too when Mommy opened the window to take pictures and he found the snow in the windowsill.
Cold!
And...
...delicious!
That night, we ate a delicious meal that Amber and Bill worked hard to prepare. The boys grilled the salmon and scallops outside in the cold!
Ready to eat.
Sunday afternoon we went to the Opry Mills Mall for lunch. We thought Christopher might enjoy the Aquarium restaurant and the Rain Forrest Cafe. He did! Here are a few pictures from our adventure:
Andy and Christopher walked through the Aquarium restaurant. All the walls and some parts of the ceilings are all part of a huge fish tank. It's pretty amazing!
Bill shows Christopher the butterfly at the Rain Forrest Cafe. Christopher was very excited to see a large version of an animal he recognizes and calls by the right name "bu-fly."
Amber points out the snake and monkeys swinging in the vines.
Christopher also went on his first carousel ride - he smiled, laughed and said "woah" every time the horse went up in the air. It was fun to ride with him.
...And finally, Christopher enjoyed a delicious meal of spaghetti. Can you tell he thoroughly enjoyed feeding himself? =)
It was a wonderful weekend shared with great friends. Thanks, Ballingers!
