For about nine years Krystal and I have been going to see the Trail of Lights. It started out with just us two girls and has now grown. Our tradition now includes our husbands and friends. This is Elise and Christian's second year to see the Trail of Lights together. It is like their yearly "date". Their birthday are just 3 days apart.
The night didn't start very well for Christian. He was not happy sitting in his stroller for the lights. I can't really blame him. There were lots of people and that made it hard for him to see the lights from his lower prespective. He wanted out and he wanted out bad. I carried him some and Daddy carried him some. That still didn't make him happy either. He wanted to run. But that wasn't an option with so many people around.
Our entire group was scattered along the trail until we finally reunited for the last half of the walk. By then Elise was taking turns being carried by Mommy and Daddy too and Christian was strapped into his stroller...notice that he was STRAPPED in...he went in kicking and screaming. He perked up a little and just sat and watched the lights.
Then we went over to see the Zilker Tree. There were less people and we could stay in one place for a while. This is were Christian had the most fun. I bought some kettle corn, which both Christian and I loved. The kettle corn kept Christian from running away and he really enjoyed dancing and running around under the christmas lights. Christian and I spun around under the tree looking at lights. Christian put on quite the show dancing around under the lights. I guess he was enjoying the freedom finally.
The other fun thing that happened was that Christian added another saying to our game "The _____ says _____." Christian and I added "What does Daddy say?" Answer "BUDGET!"
He woke up this morning saying "Daddy says....budget" (that just makes me smile)
