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.

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

And I love Nanny.

Knox's first trip to Knoxville

This weekend we all headed to Knoxville. Knox and I got to stay with Uncle Ben, Aunt Coco and Casen while Mommy and Daddy went to the game. Coco loved snuggling with Knox. I had fun playing with Casen's toys. We also got to see Mommy's friend Kelly and her boys, but for some reason we forgot to take pictures there.

He was so nice to share them with me.

After the game we went to Mr. Scooter's house. He and Daddy are law school buddies. I got to play with the bag game at his house.

Mr. Scooter was so nice to let us stay with him. I kept walking around his house saying, "this is so nice." Next time I hope to see Mrs. Stephanie. She was out of town.

I also made some new friends, Lily and Alexis. Their daddy, Andy, is another one of Daddy's law school friends. They were really fun to play with. Here we are after breakfast on Sunday morning.

Knox and I love Knoxville, I hope we get to come back soon.
