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!

Super Fun Weekend!

On Friday I went over to Carolines to do crafts.
We are going to be very crafty like Mommy and Kristen.

On Saturday, Mommy taught me how to sing into a fake microphone in the car.

On Sunday, we went to Virginia's 3rd birthday party. "Sundaes on Sunday." I wore my ice cream cone dress and got my face painted with an ice cream cone.

Anne Wilkes and Henry are so fun to play with.

The best part was the ice cream. Uncle Bill and Gigi let me have chocolate AND vanilla, and it was all over me! Thanks for a great party, Merrill!

Mommy finally turned me around in my car seat! I like facing forward much better!
One of my favorite activities is to turn the tv to channel 2, to record things, and to mute the tv. I guess I take after my tv loving parents
