Sushi and Balloons

A couple of weeks ago Ryan had a member come into the golf shop and hand out some gift certificates to his new restaurant. It is called Sakura. It is one of the newest Hibachi grills/sushi bars in our area. We had been there once and it was fantastic. This time however, we would get to eat for free and we could take Nick. We warned Nick about the fire and overall thought he would probably enjoy the experience. He liked everything until the "fire". That kind of scared him. We had a great time, but will probably not sit at the hibachi next time we take Nick. When we got home Nick and Ryan started playing with balloons. Nick is obsessed! He has been ever since I can remember. I can't even begin to tell you about the laughter we heard for the rest of the night over a $3 package of balloons!

Ready for the "fire".

Testing out the chopsticks.

Being brave once the fire was out!

Ready for some balloon action.

Does this shirt make me look big?

Hooter of a good time

Well, since we don't live in "Northern Illinois", we rarely get a Bears game on TV. We called about the NFL package and it was CRAZY expensive. We decided on Sunday to take the family to Hooters for some hot wings and football. Nick loves to flirt with the girls....he knows he gets balloons. Although the game didn't turn out like we had hoped, we still had a good time. Here are a few pics.

checking out the drink menu...
A smile and his eyes open...miracle. Oh yeah, I have converted him to a Bears fan FINALLY!

Showing me his menu

Some may think this is gross, but I think it is kinda funny. A new habit he picked up from daycare. I had no idea he was picking his nose until I looked through the pictures.
