Outside FUN at NaNa and YaYa's house!!!!

We just got home last night from a 2 week pilgrimage across the great state of TN to visit family and friends. Ben had a conference thing at work week before last, so he had several late nights...SOOOO we opted to take an early trip to Maryville before Father's Day...Ben drove up over the weekend. We had SOOOO much fun with NaNa and YaYa...and SaySay and family! I also got to see many old friends which is always fun too!

NaNa and YaYa have such a fun house...especially for little boys who LOVE to run around and play! They have tons of land to run around on. When we are there ALL Sam wants to do is run around outside, play basketball, look at YaYa's tractor, check out the camper...and the list goes on and on! So fun! We also got to be in town for Kennedy and Grace's birthday pool party! We had a great time. Sam only got in the kiddie pool but he had fun so that is all that matters! Thanks for such a great week NaNa and YaYa...we had so much fun and love you guys LOTS! Miss you already!

We celebrated NaNa's birthday on Monday (June 21st...first day of summer)! We went to Los Amigos...an awesome Mexican restaurant in Maryville/Alcoa. Here's Sam, NaNa and YaYa overlooking the Greenbelt! Cute picture right? He loves his NaNa and YaYa!

I bought one of these beach ball sprinklers and we got lots of use out of it. He didn't like it on full blast, but did like playing in the water.

It was soooo hot outisde!

So handsome!

Had to play in the back of YaYa's truck! Such a boy! He started wearing his hat. Except he has to wear it backwards like that. So funny. Reminds me of his daddy in high school. He always had his hat like that with his hair sticking out of the front of it (random memory I know).

Checking out YaYa's tractor. He talks about YaYa's tractor all of the time, but won't ride it yet. He got much closer this trip. Maybe next time he can ride on it with YaYa.

Climbing up into the "big seat"

Usually it's just basketball, but this time we got out the baseball bats/balls. Now he's really like his daddy who loves baseball!

He couldn't swing and hit the ball with the bat yet, but liked hitting it more like a golf ball.

The only cool place on the back porch in the pool! Spent lots of time there.

More baseball!
