Phantasialand

We had a great day at Phantasialand amusement park today. Most of the pictures are on the hot air balloon ferris wheel. That was Christian's favorite ride, partly because Cliff and I were able to ride with him.

Doesn't he look happy?

Christian tried to ride this ride by himself, but once it started he wanted off. He cried a lot, and they finally stopped the ride so we could take him off. :( He wasn't quite ready yet. He wanted to go back to the hot air balloon ferris wheel. :)

This was a really nice play area at the theme park

When the park closed, we went to eat at a Mexican restaurant at the entrance. We were looking forward to this restaurant all day, only to find that the restaurant closed at the same time as the park. Boooo. On the way home we were going to stop to eat, but we didn't really know the area. So, using our GPS we decided to go to American Joes 3. Sounds promising, huh? :) Anyway, when we got there we were pleasantly surprised to find that it had been replaced by Q-Bar - a wonderful Mexican restaurant. Yeah!! A nice end to a good day. :)

Christian fixed the fan!

So, Christian has a bubble blowing machine that he loves. It broke. I took it apart to try to fix it, but I had to put it aside before I could actually look at it. Later that evening Christian went outside with Cliff. He picked the bubble blowing machine up and worked on it with his screw driver. Now it works. He's a genius. :) I tried to get an interview with him afterwards, but he was a little concerned about the fan moving.

Feeding the cows (there were 2 mama cows, and 2 baby calves)

Eating dinner outside, by special request. Christian thought putting this piece of bread on his head was so funny. :)

Here are a few pictures of Christian and his best friend, Mads. They are so cute together. :)

Playing with daddy's tools

Christian played in the back yard for quite a while. He was very excited to be allowed access to "real" tools. :)
