Last Days of Summer...

We have been enjoying the last few weeks of summer. School starts in 2 weeks. I am sad that I won't be spending each day with little man, but am excited for what cooler weather and a schedule bring. I'll let the captions explain all we've been doing!
Nico and Eli enjoying a movie on their "boys only" beach trip.
The 3 Amigos!
Any weekend morning, this is the view from our kitchen window. Nico will sit out there for hours playing with Moon Sand. He makes roads and mountains with his little construction trucks. His favorite playmate? His papa.
Last week we tagged along on David's business trip to Knoxville to squeeze in a visit with my dad and Tammy. We visited Parrot Mountain in Pigeon Forge. I highly recommend it if you've never been. There are tons of parrots that you can touch, feed and talk to. Above I am trying to get Nico to sit still for a picture.
This is what happened when I told him I would just take a picture of Babbo and Tammy.
No naps is NO fun! He is desperately trying to drop them. I'm not having any of it ;)
This little guy magically appeared from a pack of gum. Nico was thoroughly impressed with the guide's tricks.
Aye, aye, captain!
Tammy was holding the blue parrot and the red one just jumped on my dad's back. It was quite startling...and hilarious!
We have taken advantage of some slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity by hitting a local park with soccer ball in tow. This park is a hidden treasure. Pssst...it's behind a local elementary school.
My little man!
His silly attempt at smiling.
We've been to a handful of birthday parties this month. Great time with great friends!
In a bounce house.
Nico took a cooking class with some of his buds. This was a great class that he really enjoyed. We'll be posting more pictures of further adventures I'm sure!
Yummy...cinnamon swirl muffins!
Sweet boy!
