Swim, Swim, Swim!!

The neighborhood pool is open and we found that we have a little fish this summer! He LOVES to go swimming and has a very hard time getting out of the water. He has slept well the last few nights! Here are some clips of him "swimming!"

A Day at the Zoo

On Saturday we headed to the zoo in Columbia, SC. It was a beautiful day for the zoo and we had a great time.

Where to next dad? Tommy was very involved in choosing where we went next after every stop!

He is still talking about the giraffe eating out of his hand. That was declared the favorite at the end of the day.

Watching the elephants- they were the most anticipated exhibit and they got into a fight while we were there- so exciting! Tommy didn't understand that the elephants were eating the grass they were picking up and told me that he thought it was helpful that the elephants were cleaning up :)

Watching the "silly monkey!"

Hanging in the flower gardens at the zoo.

Our little flower :)

Buddies

What a fun day at the zoo! This is Tommy's new smile- he closes his eyes. He has also decided that it is cool to wear a hat, but he insists on putting it on himself and it usually ends up sideways.

Cooper's Favorite Napping Spot

For a few weeks now, Cooper's favorite spot to take his naps is on the patio chair. He always chooses the same chair and curls up in a ball.

This morning he decided that it might be more comfortable on the table and has started sleeping up there. I think that Nathan needs to re-check Cooper's pedigree- there must be some mountain goat or cat somewhere in his ancestry! When Tommy sees Cooper sleeping up there he yells "No,no!" and shakes his finger just like his mommy does :)

Our New House!

We found a house! We are so excited about it- it needs some love, but it should be a fun project!
Tommy still isn't sure about his "new house." He did tell us that teddy liked it though.

And, Tommy loves the new swing set in the backyard!

We Love Airplanes!

Tommy loves to watch DVDs with his headphones.
Pretzels, movies, and juice...doesn't he look relaxed?!

The Biltmore Estate

As one of our last "North Carolina" day trips we headed to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. Here is Tommy enjoying the flowers!
The picture doesn't even do justice to how large the place really is.

Harry the Flying Dragon at Harris Teeter

To kill time while we have to be out of the house for showings we have discovered the very enjoyable ride on Harry the Harris Teeter dragon. He sings a beautiful song about Harris Teeter and everything.
After riding Harry we wander inside to taste the samples. It's a great way to kill a half hour with a 2 year old!
