Trip to Virginia

We took a trip in late August to Virginia to visit family and meet our new cousin Britton.

Brooks' First Trip to the Zoo

So I'm a little behind on updating our blog (about 5 months). I'm going to hit the highlights of the last five months in a few posts and try to do better about staying on top of it. For my birthday back in August, Justin took Brooks and me to the zoo. Brooks loves animals and was in awe the whole time.

Safety Vilage

We took Brooks to the open house of the new Cobb County Safety Village this weekend. There was lots of neat stuff to see (fire trucks, SWAT tanks, Police horses, etc.).

Dress up.

Brooks loves to dress up in other people's things. His favorite is big people shoes. I usually wear flip flops or tennis shoes, so when I busted out the heels for my class reunion Brooks thought they were especially neat. He doesn't discriminate against little stuff though. Here he is trying to wear Mr. Potato Head's glasses :-)

Brooks' Second Braves Game

We are trying to make a tradition of taking Brooks to a Braves game at least once a year. Of course we are including other long standing Chandler traditions with that like...

Pre-game meal at the Varsity. Neither Brooks nor Caleb would leave their Varsity hats on for very long though.

Does it get any better that this?!

More beach pictures (there were too many cute ones to choose just five)

Mmmm... sand and chocolate
