Family Reunion #2

After our trip to Knoxville, we came back to Cookeville for some good time with Pa and our Bowman/Maddux family reunion.

 The rain did not keep these boys from having fun!

 Or these sweet girls...

Our Big Trip to East Tennessee

Mommy, Knox and I just got back from a whirlwind tour of East Tennessee. Our first stop was at Nanny and Pa's house in Cookeville. Gramps met us there and he took me out to the neighbor's tire swing which I loved!

Next we met up with Pammy in her hometown of Athens, TN. We went to the Mayfield Dairy plant to have ice cream with Aunt Linda and Uncle Don. Knox and I got to play on the Mayfield cow. Mayfield has THE BEST ice cream.

Gramps took me on this HUGE slide at a park in Athens.

We got to meet our cousins Ethan and Hannah, they are Mommy's cousin Allison's kids. We had SO much fun together. It is sad we don't live closer. Here we are in a big group hug.

On to Knoxville, where no trip is complete without a visit with Mommy's friend Kelly and her boys. Kyle took me for a spin in his jeep.

Of course, we spent lots of time with Uncle Ben, Aunt Coco, and Casen. Casen took us to his favorite playground.

Dinner with Uncle Ben

Time for goodbyes, sad.

A quick stop at Opry Mills in Nashville, for Mommy to shop (of course) and to wear us out for the long ride home.

It worked, we were both asleep before we were even out of Nashville. What a great trip! We are worn out and ready to see our Daddy!

Back from the Mountains

We just got back from a great trip to the Smoky Mountains with Pammy, Gramps, Ben, Coco, and Casen. It was so much fun.
On our way up there we took an ice cream break at the outlet mall.

Swimming at the pool, don't tell Mrs. Brittany that I wore my floaties.

Knox and Gramps looking at the gorgeous view from the porch.

Casen didn't seem to like my neck hug so much.

Knox is getting a lot better at his walking. He couldn't quite keep up with Casen though.

Casen and I found a little nook in our mountain house that we liked to hang out in.

We loved the big ball at the Ripley's museum.

Uncle Ben gave me a break from walking.

Strolling the streets of Gatlinburg with Gramps.

We stopped by Nanny and Pa's house on the way back. Knox loves Pa.

And I love Nanny.

We are thankful!

For Thanksgiving, we got to go to Cookeville and see Pammy, Gramps, Nanny, Pa,
Ben, Coco and Casen. Our attempts at a group baby picture didn't go so well.

This looks delicious!

Gramps showed me some card tricks!

Memorial Day Weekend Part One

For the first part of this weekend, we went to see my cousin Rachel graduate from high school. I was a good girl at the ceremony. Afterwards we had lunch at her house. I loved playing with her, and Casen and Uncle Ben!

Happy Birthday Uncle Ben!

Can't wait to see you this weekend!
