2nd Annual Addi Adventure & 1st Annual Cooper Camp

Kevin's parents, aka KK and G-Pa, have made it a point to spend some extra special time with both the kids. Since KK is a teacher and off in the summer, it makes since that they do it at that time. This year, Addison went for four days and those days were packed with fun stuff! Kevin and Addison met KK and G-Pa in Waco and she went onto Dallas with them. The first afternoon, they got pedicures/manicures, went fishing, built a huge tent in the living room, and had a movie night watching "Up". They had a special snack at movie night - popcorn, pretzels, and M&M's in a bowl...you can bet which one Addi was going after the most!

On Monday, they went to Six Flags! This year, Addi really wasn't interested in the "kiddie" rides and she was tall enough to do some of the other things. KK said there were a few times that she was glad that she was busy taking pictures so she didn't have to notice how high up they were - but Miss Addi was so brave and didn't seem to mind at all!

Addison also did some swimming while she was there. G-Pa must have taught her a thing or two about fishing too - I think she caught 2 small fish and 1 good size fish! Pretty impressive!
They also went to see Toy Story 3 at the movie theatre. I heard from a few people that it is kind of sad and even scary in some parts, but she really liked it. She actually HAD to have the Toy Story 3 cereal that she saw at the grocery store the other day!

Addison brought Samantha (her American Girl doll) to Dallas. She got to bring Samantha to the American Girl Doll salon to get her hair done. Apparently, they are very particular about how it is suppose to be and how you should take care of it at home (which I knew nothing about)!

From most of these pictures, you would have thought that she was there for one day considering she is wearing her Hello Kitty t-shirt in almost every picture! I promise I sent at least 4-5 outfits with her! Since she wanted to wear it EVERY DAY, KK and G-Pa took the time to wash it every night for her! Only something that a grandparent would do!!! :) I thought that was too cute!


Cooperman participated in his 1st Annual Cooper Camp from Thursday until Saturday in Dallas. He played a lot of baseball, which he is really into these days.

He even got to go to Six Flags with KK and G-Pa. This picture of him below makes me smile - he is strutting his stuff down the street like he owns the place!


They went to play at the park for a while - this boy loves to be outside! He took a dip in the pool a few times with KK. That's the best way to beat the heat after a long day in the sun!


Cooper also got to play at Chuck E. Cheese. Here he is trying to play Guitar Hero - this is another great picture that completely represents something else he is into now - guitars! Our little dude loves to jam!

We are blessed to have very fun, caring grandparents for our kids who love to be involved and make them feel special. Not only did the kids have a great time while they visited KK and G-Pa in Dallas, but we had some time to be with the other child at home for one-on-one time too. Thanks again KK and G-Pa for making the 2nd Annual Addi Adventure and 1st Annual Cooper Camp a big hit! We love you!
