Summer update

I've been a little remiss in updating this blog due to a busy Summer.
Here's a rundown of our activities so far:

Cooper had a great time a coworker's BBQ where he played with all the fun toys:

He had a blast on Block Island playing with the Suthersons--Thayer and Murdoch:

Cooper's friend Owen from DC came by:

Of course Cooper has spent plenty of time at the local playground hanging with his friend Liam:

I'm not sure what was going through Cooper's mind here:

 Finally, I taught Cooper how to drive...

 ...And use the Fast Lane pass at tolls... :-)

At David Karp's 2nd Birthday

Cooper had a lot of fun at David's birthday party this afternoon.  Thanks David for a fun time!

My favorite tunnel

Group fun

Pizza!!!

At the circus!

Last Saturday Cooper got to go to his first circus--Aleppo's Shriner's Circus in Wilmington, MA.  I think he had a really good time even though he was a little overwhelmed at first.  It may have had to do with the strange looking clowns or the unusual animals. (He's accustomed to dogs and cats but not tigers, elephants and ponies.)

Below are some snapshots of his day:

Scarry Clowns!

Elephant Ride!

Pony Ride!

Lots to see!

Fun Birthday Party!

Cooper attended the Boeh's kids birthday party at My Gym this weekend. He had a lot of fun including the kiddie zipline (see below). They never had stuff like this when I was a kid.

Weekend Errands

Cooper was a pretty good trooper this weekend. He patiently spent hours in the car traveling to see friends in NH as well as coming along for some errands further north to North Conway.

Here are some pics:

Testing out some shades

Researching our next car

A little break at Starbucks

Floridian Fun

Cooper had a great time in Florida this past long weekend. Luckily the flights were on time and Cooper was fairly chill over the course of both 3 hr flights.

I think Cooper's got the basketball gene

Today Cooper attended Bridget's Monday night basketball game. The team certainly loved seeing him but Cooper could have care less. He spent the entire time focusing on the previous game where school kids were playing pee wee basketball. If the ball went left...Cooper's head shifted left. If it went right...his head shifted right with laser precision. At one point Bridget got in the way while she was stretching and Cooper arched his body around her so that he could continue watching the kids play. Cooper's got the basketball bug.

After the game was over, Cooper ran over and grabbed a basketball from the bench and started carrying it around the court. See for yourself...I never laughed so hard!
