Adventures At Seay

I am so behind I can't even begin to tell you about the busy, all over the place summer we have had. Not been in town for more than a week at a time for three months....it is ridiculous! But here's to catching up and getting through a summer's worth of blogging before Cooper starts school next week!

We followed up our trip to meet Thomas the Train with a ride on the Chattanooga incline and a romp through a civil war battle field site. Cooper ran around till he was worn out and we got some great hiking in!

Thomas is a big favorite around here. The trains, books, songs, DVD's are all on regular rotation. You could say we have quite the Thomas obsession. So, when we heard about A Day with Thomas (where you actually ride on Thomas the train) we had to check it out. We decided to go to Chattanooga with Grammy, Grampy, and Emi so we could all enjoy a good weekend of train fun! Cooper had the best time riding the train! The only thing we were sad about was that it was so short. We also got to see Sir Topham Hat and they had all kinds of fun booths and stations set up. We could have easily spent as much time as we wanted there! Definitely a good day!!

Oh how this school year has flown! Feels like I was just ordering his first little backpack and worrying about how Cooper would do without me. Now my sweet boy loves his teachers, his friends at school, and paint!
We had a great year with Mrs. Elizabeth and Ms. Glenda. Cooper absolutely adores them both and I am so excited that they are moving up to the older 2's class next year! Here are some pictures of Cooper's first and last day this year:

We took Cooper to the Double Decker Festival this past weekend! There was food all over the place, art vendors with all kinds of cool stuff (we already picked up a few Christmas presents), and music! Also, there were things for Cooper to ride...the best part! He was so good sitting in his stroller while we walked around looking at the art booths and eating lunch so we took him over to catch a ride on the double decker bus!

There is one thing Cooper and his daddy have in common more than anything, their love of sports! Cooper follows football, hockey, soccer, and especially baseball. He loves talking about baseball teams he likes and he begs to go to games every day. So when we can, we take him to watch Ole Miss play. He loves to sit in the outfield or the seats and asks questions and cheers the whole time! On Sundays they let the kids run the bases after the game and Cooper asks if he can run the bases from the second we arrive.

So now that we're almost a good month past Easter...I can blog about it. We had more egg hunts this year than I could count and by the time we got to Easter Sunday Cooper was over it! He did great at his school hunt and at the one the Oxford Park Commission put on (always awesome.) He had a blast and loved piling eggs into his basket.

At the end of March we headed out to Rowan Oak (the home of William Faulkner) with the Oxford Moms and Tots! Cooper got to hunt with the kids his age and had the best time picking up eggs. He really got into it this year! He was even more excited when he found out the eggs came with stuff inside! His personal favorite were the little bubble bottles! We hung out with all the other kids and had a great picnic too. The house and property were so cool and we can't wait to go back and explore some more.
