Well, it was a rainy day from the time we got up until about 4:00pm today. Once the boys got up from their naps, we asked them if they'd like to ride their bikes at Biltmore and they said "YES!". When it is decent weather, we usually take them somewhere to ride their bikes at least once a week. Now that we have Biltmore passes, we love whisking them off for an afternoon/evening, packing a picnic, and just spending the afternoon there without the added pressure of "seeing everything". We've done everything from tour the house (Eric took them on his own to the Biltmore...I have the ultimate respect for him! I'd be afraid that they'd be rearranging Ming vases or tearing down tapestries!) to grape-stomping during the grape harvest (both boys LOVED it!) to just riding bikes along all the paved trails they have. Each visit is different, and this visit didn't disappoint. Here are some shots of the boys riding their bikes!
Showing off their new bike license tags they got for Christmas!
Friends forever.
Possibly one of the best pictures of them that I have...

Amazing views.
We rode bikes up to the FarmYard where the boys got to see horses and sit on a tractor.
Once it got dark, we put the bikes back in the truck, grabbed our picnic bag and set off to find a table. We had a fun dinner eating our sandwiches and popcorn. The boys love walking down the tunnel of the Biltmore House Winery, and at the other end, we found a group of ladies in the Winery Gift Shop were doing an impromptu concert (complete with Christmas carols!) and Caleb got invited to sing with them! (Adam was too, but he politely declined.) Here's a video of Caleb's performance and some pictures of Adam's reaction as well!
Caleb was a bit shy at first, but did sing along!
The ladies sang "Jingle Bells" for Adam
Adam brought his beloved Mocha, a brown mouse from IKEA, and he was making Mocha squeak along to the singing. What you don't see here are the other dozen people who were watching the boys perform!
