Fun in Nashville

We had lots of fun while we were in Nashville for Kathryn's wedding. We left a day early to "spread out" the driving time. It worked out great because we had time to do some fun things in addition to all of the wedding activities.

One morning we went to the Opryland hotel and looked at the Christmas decorations. It's always fun to see! We went on the boat ride thru the hotel and the boys loved it!




We also went to the ICE exhibit. This is quite a site - everything is carved from ice. This year's theme was the Grinch. You put on these huge blue coats because it's freezing in the exhibit - of course it has to be, to keep the ice sculptures from melting. :) The sculptures are huge. The Grinch exhibit was very fun and whimsical. They color the ice, too, as you can see from the pics.

This picture is of Wilson going down the ice slide! He was trying to convince Andrew to do it. He went first, but Andrew never went. I thought the one of Wilson sliding was worthy of posting!


At the end of the exhibit is a carving of the nativity. It's worth going to the exhibit just to see this - Beautiful!


This is just a cute picture of Forrest playing in the hotel room.


We took the boys on a stroll downtown one day. We were staying downtown so we enjoyed walking down to the river and seeing some sights. Really just being out and about in a big city is fun for Andrew - and for us!

And have I ever mentioned how much we love our double stroller? WE LOVE IT! There are so many times we have said that we don't know what we would have done without it. It's a Baby Trend, jogging stroller. I highly recommend it.




I wish that I had some pictures of the day that Wilson took Andrew and Forrest BY HIMSELF to the Oprymills Mall. Yes, he did it all on his own! He said they had a great time. I think they spent the majority of the time in Bass Pro Shop... by the way if you have a little one, Bass Pro Shop is definitely a fun place to take them. There is so much to see - great, free entertainment! Of course, Wilson enjoyed it as much as the boys did and he even bought Andrew a cute, new coat. I was so proud of them for fending for themselves for the day so I could spend time with the girls! I think he was pretty proud too. He said he got lots of comments from other shoppers about how good he was doing. :)

It was a great weekend. We love Nashville!
