Bailey, Beth, and Bridge Street

Saturday was a busy day for us. We scheduled Kal-el's 9 month pictures that morning at 10am. My friend Bailey, who lives in Decatur, has been taking his pictures ever since he was born. Its really funny to watch Chris and I on road trips. Even though Decatur is only an hour away our methods for getting there were totally different. Chris plugs everything into his nice little phone and lets it lead the way. I am very old school and actually Mapquested the directions and printed them off and of couse got made fun of.We were really looking forward to getting some awesome shots b/c Bailey has always captured him perfectly. Kal-el was in a great mood for shooting but he was in a new place and eager to see everything. In the past we had always done our shooting outside but the cold weather prevented it this time. I knew we would be in for some exhaustion with little guy when we arrived and it was just a background and him! I was thinking oh boy there is no way he is going to stand still on a piece of paper and not move! We will all have to plan better next time if we are going to get the shots we want. Looking back I wish we would of brought his little red wagon at least we could of sit him up in it! I'm was really hopeing to get some standing shots of him since he does it so well now! I'm anxious to see the pics hopefully we got some great shots in spite of everything. After we wrapped up the shoot we starting making our way to a shopping center by the name of Bridge Street in Huntsville to meet up with my good friend Beth. She and I go way back. We have been friends ever since high school and have made some really fun filled memories together. I was glad that Chris and I finally got to meet her boyfriend Jason. I had heard so many nice things about him. Mimsy came along with us and Zac, Jason's cute little boy was there with he and Beth. It made for a really nice family get together. Bridge Street is really neat but so much better in the summer time since its pretty much all out doors. During summer they have gondola rides in the area beneth the shopping center. Its a great little get away close to home. As soon as we arrived we realised that we didnt pack a jacket for Super. So Mimsy suggested we stop in a store and pick him one up. She found a precious superman zip up hoody and the size that fit my big little boy was suprisingly a 3T! After layering Super up we met Beth, Jason, and Zac at Red Robin to fill up on yummy burgers. Kal-el dined on french fries. We managed to save room for dessert and walked over to Molly Moo's for ice cream afterwards. I love cotton candy ice cream but I'm apparently the only adult who does. Also unbenounced to me that particular ice cream turns your entire face blue so for the next half hour I am ridiculed and called a smurf lol it was so good I didnt care! We walked around some more and took Chris by the theater . I really want us to come back and watch a feature but we had little people and were running short on time. We made one last stop on our way back home. Beth and Jason invited us to stop by their place. They have a lovely home and we enjoyed the rest of our visit. I really do wish Aunt Beth lived closer but I am totally fine with making frequent trips to the Huntsville area!
