Our Cooper, graduated the Crane Class!

A Cooper selfie

Waving to Momma, Dadda and Sammy

I spy you

Cooper and his Dadda

Sammy finally got a hair cut

Coop loved singing with his friends

We have another one ready for school?!?!

Mom and her boys

Adventures and a Special Visitor

Sam happy to be here

We love to pick brother up with our friend Ollie the dog

We also attended a carnival at Cooper's new school starting in the fall.

Sam was a brave, brave boy and loved the sheep

And the horses

And Cooper, our animal lover, all over the horse as well

Another cute Sam and Ollie picture.  Sam was telling him, "Don't cry Ollie, I'm here".

Only proper way to beat the heat

And we had Auntie Henna come out to visit us for a week

Boys loved it

We went hiking

Threw stuff off a bridge

Checked out tree tunnels

And the aquarium

Hit up some monuments

And the splash pad

We miss you already, Auntie

Catchin' up

A Day out with Thomas in Baltimore, MD.  Pretty much the best day of Cooper's young life!

Sam and Cooper ridin the rails...

That is the real deal back there

Here he is up close!

And here we are riding on Thomas...we had so much fun!

We have been doing a lot of swinging

Gymnastics class is in full swing here as well.  Coop is running by in that flash of red...

Swimming class for Cooper

Sammy headed to his Sports Class

And we love to help our friends

Throwing rocks in the river

We also celebrated National Train Day at Union Station

Outdoor adventures

Daddy was home from work so we decided to hike Theodore Roosevelt Island Park in DC.  The boys loved it, especially Sam.  Terry and I think that Sam would have ran the whole hike had it been free of little boy distractions.  He and Cooper spent about 25 minutes collecting and throwing rocks off the bridge.

Just a boy in the woods

Staring into the drain on the bridge, another favorite

A snack break

Riding the train with Dadda

Tickles to pass the time

Rock them shades Sammy

Coop and Water = Love

A view from the bridge

Another bridge (yes that is Sammy way up front, seriously the kid is a runner!)

And a video snapshot of our hike!
